I typically shy away from placing worship songs in lists because I feel such songs do so much more than just put lyrics in your mind and on your lips. I see it as more of a heart issue and direct communication between you and your Maker.
So I could've easily picked a more popular AA song from a more beloved album (In Bloom anyone?), but this one made the list because of it's simplicity and sincerity. And the harmonica intro really sets the tone. If you're a long time AA fan, you'll notice it's sung by Tyler Burkum instead of lead vocalist Mark Stuart. He has a smooth voice that fits the tone of the song. Mark's voice has always been ragged but full of emotion. Lyrically, I always isolate the verse :
In my ear quietly I hear You sing
And my heart starts to beat inside
The echoes ring
I’ve lied to You, I’ve lied to You in so many ways
You say You don’t remember, You don’t remember
You can’t remember me that way
The gift of unending grace via Jesus. Good stuff.

I pried myself away from Copeland's new epic "You Are My Sunshine" just long enough to give this track a spin lol.
