Hope.

Am I the only one who, at times, finds more honest encouragement from songs not written by "Christian" musicians but by those who don't know Christ? There are certainly songs written about hope by Christian artists, but oftentimes they don't touch the deep places in our hearts. Is it that we feel like, as Christians, we can't touch the deepest places inside of us because we aren't supposed to feel those feelings? I am just wondering. I realize that people could give me scores of Christian songs that they have found hope in. I am simply saying, that at times, there seems to be a deeper honesty in music that is not written by followers of Christ. This doesn't come from a pent up frustration towards Christian music. It simply comes out of my reflection of listening to music the last 10-15 minutes. But there have been other 10-15 minutes intervals that have informed this thought as well... Any thoughts?
