As an artist I want to sing about real life in a real way. Sometimes Christian songs button things up a little too neatly. In other cases Christians do address the real, raw feeling but don’t leave us there. They reveal a faith-filled response to that feeling. Just because a feeling may be real, it’s doesn’t mean that that feeling is true. My wife and I went through a really hard period of time in our marriage relationship. I was dealing with a lot of issues I had suppressed which only triggered issues that she had suppressed and we were both a mess. But in the midst of the mess we decided that we have a love worth fighting for. And we weren’t going to stop fighting for each other and the love we share. #citizenofheaven
