Song of the Week

Carrie & Lowell
Sufjan Stevens is a national and personal treasure, one of the most important songwriters of the 21st Century, and one of the few artists who can thread the needle of genuine Christian poetry and music.  His forthcoming album, Carrie & Lowell, is inspired by his mother and stepfather, which he candidly describes in this recent interview.  Check out "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross," a powerful meditation in the wake of his mother's passing.
