I finally checked out the band, “Gungor”. One word: Wow.

Passionate Christ-centered lyrics, skillful instrumentalists, and a unique band name (which is merely lead guy Michael’s last name) = amazing.

They played at Catalyst in Atlanta last week and ever since there has been quite the grassroots movement on Twitter/Facebook/Blogs promoting this band to the masses. If you’re looking for a fresh worship band to add to your playlist, I think you’ll like their passionate acoustic version of “Beautiful Things”:

“Beautiful Things” Lyrics:
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll even find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

Their new album, “Beautiful Things” is on Amazon MP3 right now for $9.99.
