Jon Foreman is a name you probably recognize by now. He’s made his name in the last 15 years as the front man of San Diego Christian rockers Switchfoot. I’ve been a Switchfoot fan for years, but I was a little late to the party when it came to getting in on Foreman’s recent solo ventures. Beginning in the Fall of 2007, Foreman ambitiously released four EPs, one for each of the four seasons and titled them Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. The music and lyrics of each of the EPs somewhat mirror the mood of the season of the disc on which they’re included. Each of the EPs find Foreman far more stripped down than anything he’s done in the past with Switchfoot. The songs rely heavily on the acoustic guitar but also include all manner of stringed instruments and even a few keys and horns here and there. All four EPs are worth checking out but Foreman simplified things a bit for the casual fan and released Limbs and Branches, comprising choice cuts from each of the EPs as well as two new songs. Today’s song is one of my favorites of the whole collection and is basically a paraphrase of the Lord’s Prayer. It’s a simple reminder that no matter how out of control we may feel about our lives, God’s love is strong and that is enough.Jon Foreman - "Your Love Is Strong"
