have you ever heard a song that leaves you breathless?

i heard it tonight. and i honestly don't know how i've missed it all of these years. i grew up on this kind of music. my mom used to take us to gospel concerts regularly. i don't know. maybe i did hear it at some point and just missed it. but i have a lot of favorites that i've loved a long time. and i'm pretty sure this would have been one of them.

regardless, i heard it tonight. i finally bought the latest gaither vocal band cd. finally. i was listening to it while i was editing a recent session tonight. and the words of this song made me stop. the tears rolling down my cheeks, i could do nothing but just listen. and it just... wow. i don't even truly have words. but it makes you think.

i think that sometimes, we get so used to hearing about Christ's crucifixion, that it is easy to take for granted. and not that we ever should. but we are human. or at least i am. but this song made me think. it made me really THINK. i had to share it somehow, for those to whom it might mean something. for those who've never heard it either. or for those who haven't heard it in a very long time.

this version isn't the one i have on the cd. but it was all i could find. the song is called "then He bowed His head and died."
