Day 3: Rich Mullins - Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth

Or aka "the album with the song 'Awesome God"

The best thing about this album, aside from that one huge song, might be the title. It still convicts me. It comes from the line "the stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance I owe only to the maker of all good things."

The 80's keyboards and dated production would make listening to this regularly a chore. but the lyrics are fantastic. In many ways "Awesome God" was the first truly modern worship song. I remember singing it at the top of my lungs at summer camp and raising my hands for the fist time in worship.

Mullins would hit his stride in the next string of albums and make a few classic ones in the early 90's before he passed away.
