Songs With A Story

Posted by Chris Case | July 27, 2008 .

I have always appreciated songs that have a genuine story behind the songwriting.  Its not the most common that worship songs are written with a profound and moving experience behind them, and that’s definitely ok, but it does make it all the more powerful when they are.  From stories like Horatio Spafford’s inspiration for It Is Well With My Soul to John Newton and Amazing Grace to Helen Lemmel and Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, I have always found a deeper connection to the song knowing the inspiration behind why it was written.  Hillsong’s recent CD has so far included two songs that have a backstory and I’ll let the videos tell those stories:

Hillsongs - Desert Song


And lastly, another video for a song called How He Loves
