TOT- Caedmon's Call

What isn't to like about Caedmon's Call?  I don't know much of their history, except that I've been listening to them for a long time.  They have sold over a million units of their 14 albums.  My hubby and I listened to them all the time in college.  I remember the first Caedmon's Call song I heard.  A group called Captive Free did a cover of Lead of Love at a youth event.  I loved that song.  After some searching I finally figured out the artist and have been hooked ever since.

Personally, I think Caedmon's Call has a depth in song writing that many main stream Christian artist are missing.  I'm looking for something theological, that feeds my faith, lyrics that I can really sink my teeth into.  I'm not a "let's repeat this line over and over and over again" kind of music participant.

So, my top 5 albums they have put out...

1.  Overdressed- I think my favorite
2.  In the Company of Angels II
3.  Back Home
4.  40 Acres
5.  Caedmon's Call

Oh, to narrow down the songs is very tough.  A lot of them, like most music in my life, bring back memories or something that was going on at that time.  So, these will be in a random order.  I just can't pick!  Top 10...(Bold are lyrics from the songs)

1.  Sacred- Overdressed
Lord, make me like a stream to feed the garden...
2.  Love Grows Love- Overdressed
Our vows they started breathing as they took on flesh and blood.  And we held them in our arms and tasted God was good.  
3.  Sing His Love- In the Company of Angels II
God's compassion is my story.
4.  The Story- In the Company of Angels II
cause, I'm in love with a mystery...
5.  Fellowship So Deep- In the Company of Angels II
Let His love, here, ever, after be the language that we speak.
6.  Let Me Be Open- In the Company of Angels II
Let me find the joy of my salvation in your cross
7.  Mystery of Mercy- Back Home
You are a mystery of mercy and the song, the song that I sing.
8.  Shifting Sand- 40 Acres
My faith is like shifting sand, so I stand on grace. 
9.  40 Acres- 40 Acres
There's 40 acres of redemption to be found...
10.  Lead of Love- Caedmon's Call
Looking back, I see the lead of love

Happy listening!
