I've never been afraid of "music with a message," so the Christian-sentiment lyrics are not off-putting for me. Unlike some CCM where God is every third word and the songs are overly preachy, the message of the music doesn't detract at all from the strength of the songs and the wonderful music. Like most of Amy Grant's Christian music, most of the lyrics can be taken in the "praise God" way or in the "Love Song" way. I love lyrics like that. Certain songs, such as "My Prayer" and "Voice of God Call Out" are obviously meant in the "praise God" way. However songs like "I Love All Life" and "What's In Your Heart" could easily be a "love song" written about a woman OR (which is more likely) a "praise God" type song.
Glass Harp has gained a new fan and I hope they soon come to New England so I can see this band live.
