I think it make a change to review songs that have been recorded by Bands and Artists that are not Christians and are not part of the CCM Scene but have some brilliant messages that can come in good use for teaching the Church of God and can be used for positive reasons.
''A Thousand Trees'' is one of the earlier songs that was recorded by Welsh Indie Rock Band ''The Stereophonics'' and it came out in the year 1997. This song deals with the issue of gossip and spreading rumours. People, this is serious. Gossip spreads like wildfire and it can do an awful amount of damage to people hearing them. Gossip causes a lot of arguements and can also seperate close friends. The lyric ''It only takes one match to burn a thousand trees'' reminds me of a passage in the Bible where it says that it takes a spark to start a forest fire. Look up James 3:5 in the Bible.
James 3:1-12 talks about the power of words and how the tongue can do an aweful lot of damage.
Gossip is flat out evil and we shouldn't indulge in it full stop. I think this song is ever so fantastic and it is proof that Non Christians can write songs that can be used for positive, life changing reasons.
Here is another song that deals with the power of words, and it is written by a CCM Band and it was written in the mid 90's.
Third Day: Nothing At All.
You can always check that song out on youtube. It is a fantastic song.
May God bless you.
