If you are a David Crowder Band fan, like I know that you are, it's time to hop over to iTunes or a local store and pick up their new album. It is hard to imagine anyone matching the energy, creativity, versatility, and depth of DCB. Nowhere are these qualities more evident than Remedy, the new album in stores today. I was on iTunes this morning at 7:00 AM downloading and then listening while I completed some work at home.
Again and again, Remedy’s 10 tracks affirm and explore important truths: God is good, God is glorious, God is ever-present, and God is our Redeemer
The album’s title track celebrates Christ as the remedy for the world. “Such perfect love come for the broken and beat, for the wounded and weak,” Crowder sings. The track is a perfect example of DCB’s writing heartfelt and uplifting tunes about God. But the song’s most revealing lyric comes four and a half minutes in, when Crowder suggests that the Church is charged not only with sharing the remedy, but with being the remedy in our world. Here you find out why the album is called Remedy. Because we’ve been redeemed by a great God, Crowder seems to say, we should share the gospel of hope and love with our culture in both word and deed. The final track, “Surely We Can Change,” offers something of a prescription:

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
…Something
What else does DCB sing? Here are a few songs on my playlist not from Remedy. Maybe you will recognize them:

Undignified
O Praise Him (All This for a King)
No One Like You
