Although
Seven Swans is Soof's most explicitly Christian album, it is not my favorite. I prefer
Illinois and, of course,
Carrie & Lowell (my favorite of his).
"Abraham" and "The Transfiguration" are songs based on stories in the Bible, and they're great, but for me, as a Christian, "He Woke Me Up Again" is my favorite track. It contains all the feelings of epiphany I felt when I'd been sleeping all my life in darkness and awoke to the light...a light I still have not reached but hope to one day grasp in some limited way.
5.00/5 stars
