Great New Music: Sara Groves

Posted by Chris

Sara GrovesHead over to iTunes & grab their free "Discovery Download" - "When the Saints" by Sara Groves

This song is great! I've been a Sara Groves fan for years. If the rest of her upcoming release, "Tell Me What You Want" (Nov 6) is as good as this single, I'm going to have to by it.

Here's what Sara said about the song & its origins:
"'When the Saints' was inspired by the work of The International Justice Mission. Their work made me think about the people I have admired in history and made their kind of action seem more accessible. I used to read about amazing heroes like Harriet Tubman who secured her own freedom from slavery and then helped rescue many others through the Underground Railroad. I have always wondered how I would have responded in different times in history. Would I have opened my home to the Underground Railroad or given Anne Frank refuge? We think those stories are removed from us, but right now there are millions of slaves, millions of people hiding from their oppressors. I realized not too long ago, that I have not been the Good Samaritian. I have been the other guys, who walk on the far side of the road. It is my heart's desire to change that, and 'When the Saints' is a celebration of people who were placed by God for certain times and events, and a prayer that I will have the strength to show up for my time."
