Songs that Break the Heaven/Earth Barrier

We did a song last week by a band that is not typically on my radar.  Mercy Me is a very well polished group but tends to place itself a bit too much in the overly poppy Christian radio category for my listening palate.  But this song "All of Creation" just jumped right out at me.  The chorus has a fantastic "sing along" feel with lines that connect people together and really struck a chord with our church.  But I am magnetically drawn to the lines of the first verse more than anything:

Separated until the veil was torn
the moment that hope was born
and guilt was pardoned once and for all

I'm captivated
but no longer bound by chains left in an empty grave
The sinner and the sacred resolved

My point is, and I'm saying this to myself here, be willing to step out of what you perceive as your chosen genre or style of music.  There is much that is being spoken in different generations, corners of the world and through many instruments and vessels. Listen to what God is saying to his people and what they are replying back to Him.
