Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.

Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins wrote this in his online journal back in '05.

I’m so sick of sugar-coated songs from the Christian perspective. One of the most comforting and inspiring lines to me is from the last chorus of ‘Come Thou Fount’ where it says, ‘Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love.’ Not many un-watered-down songs make it through the filter of the Christian music industry mafia these days.
