I am not sure if it’s the nostalgia (I grew up listening to his music), the beautiful and epic nature of the musical score, or the moving lyrics — but I am continually going back to Rich Mullins’ songs in hard times.
He died in a car accident in the late 90s so the catalog is not large but unlike most other music of the period — it feels timeless.
If you’ve never heard any of his songs, a few of my favorites: Sometimes By Step, Creed, If I Stand, Boy Like Me / Man Like You and Hold Me Jesus.
