Shane and Shane

Ok, so I am trying to find out how to post a link so that you can hear some of Shane and Shane's music. I would just like to say that I absolutely, 100% love Shane and Shane. My first experience with hearing Shane and Shane was actually my 21st birthday. They came to play a concert at my church in Auburn (not for my birthday, it just happened to be on that day), and I was completely captivated. Since then, I have heard them in Auburn numerous times, at One Day, in Fort Worth, and in Memphis.

The most amazing thing is that every time these men step on stage they make sure that everyone within earshot knows that they are stepping into the presence of the Lord to worship Him alone and that is the sole reason for their music. They are not up there for fame and they are incredibly humble men. I believe that is one of the reasons that God has blessed these men and their careers.

One of the best examples of how humble these men are and how their sole purpose is to worship the Lord and to lead others in worship is how they perform their last song. They have a lot of fun and upbeat songs, but some of their best songs are the slow ones because they really help you to be still and to come into the presence of the King. The last song that they sing is always slow and very worshipful and so most people find themselves with their eyes closed or kneeling in worship. The song always ends up with the whole of the audience singing acappella and when the song is over and everyone opens their eyes, they see that the stage is empty. WOW!! Most music artists end their concerts with a big bang and want applause from the audience, but not these guys. Their desire is for all of the focus to be on the Lord and not on them. What great role models they are!

Another incredible thing about their music is that most of their songs are pure Scripture. One of my favorite albums of theirs is the album "Psalms" and it is just that, psalms. There are such great theological truths in their songs. This could be another reason that God blesses their music because they are just singing His words.

Ok, so I hope that I have convinced you to go out and buy their new cd, "Clean". I have heard it and it is awesome! I do not own it yet, but I will after tomorrow because I get paid tomorrow :)
