I loved this post so much!! I've heard a lot about Rich Mullins (mostly from Adorning the Dark, hehe), and have fond memories of Our God is an Awesome God being the first song my brother learned to play on his guitar, and all the church kids singing it together. I've heard The Color Green and every time those first lyrics come on, I find myself just pausing everything and listening to the lyrics because they're so well written. You've definitely inspired me to try listening to more of Mullin's music! Thank you for compiling all these thoughts and reflections - I can tell you put a lot of work into it! <3
I'm so glad you loved it, Emily (and I love how AP was inspired so heavily by Rich...you've got me wanting to re-read "Adorning the Dark" just by mentioning it)! "The Color Green" is a pretty amazingly unique song with such beautiful words---I'm so happy to know someone agrees! Definitely let me know if you do listen to more of his music. I apologize for this very belated response but thank you so much for sharing that and for reading, friend! 💚
Thank you so much for the kind comment, hopeful maiden! :) I couldn't agree more. I hope more people will take the time to find the beauty in the way these artists use their God-given gifts like you are. (By the way, I'm looking forward to seeing your work on your publication!)
