"Here Is Our King" by the David Crowder Band inspired by tsunami disaster.
WAKO, Texas worship leader David Crowder spoke recently about the
critically acclaimed album 'A Collision' by the David Crowder Band. He told CCM magazine how
the events of last December's tsunami, which claimed nearly 200,000
lives, inspired Crowder to write the worship song "Here Is Our King".
"It is a difficult thing to observe the depth of our fall in such a
vivid way. I mean we know that things in the world aren't as God
intended. But here is this thing that comes from the middle of the sea
to bring devastation, and our minds cannot fit this in. It is the
depth of our fall upon us. Even the ground under our feet is not
right. The air we breathe is not right. Yet, the hope I have found in
Christ miraculously expands. I believe that we are part of a bigger
story unfolding. I believe that the rescue of creation has been coming
toward us for a long time. I believe that, sure, there was a moment
that I was found by this rescue and that I am rescued continually, but
the even greater thing, the thing that expands in my chest in this
moment, is that there is more coming! He is coming to set things
right."
