Best of the GMAs 2008: Leeland rocked Music City and the GMAs

I really loved Leeland’s show on Tuesday night. It was the perfect bookend, to what was an awesome experience. The beautiful wonder of a song like Leeland’s performance of “Count Me In “ echoed through the Cannery Ball room and really resonated through my heart:

Even when I turned my back
You still gave Your love
It’s the only thing I want to have

No greater gift than a man to lay down his life
How could I miss this
I’m not about to pass it up

Count me in
I’m amazed this love is for me, Lord
Count me in
I’m amazed this love is for me, Lord

I’m looking at these plans You have
For me they’re plans of hope and peace
Much bigger than the ones I have
I tried to follow mine
I was going nowhere fast
Your love makes me like David with a stone and sling
Nothing else could bring my life so much meaning

I left feeling spiritually awakened and inspired. I can’t wait to get his latest album “Opposite Way” on iTunes. Thanks to him, his band, and the Flicker folks for just putting on an amazing, amazing show for GMAs 2008that spoke to me and the audience at large from a very deep place. God is doing phenomenal things though this band. They are a true blessing to the Christian music industry, Christians, and the lost everywhere.

FYI: Hopefully more multimedia content , including video, will be on its way soon.
