You can tell that their hearts are really filled by a longing to take Christ to the people. When we've been there everything has also been very professionally arranged, they're great at that. It differs from song to song, it could be a personal reflection, an observation of society or maybe a passage from the bible. I do believe though that whatever comes out is really the work of someone greater working in me, the Holy Spirit. It is a gift I think, and it's a very humbling experience to see how the songs you write actually change peoples lives and draw them closer to Christ.
Some songs kinda write themselves while others take weeks of work.
It's different from time to time. Well, we usually write 17-20 songs and preproduce them, at this stage many of them are without lyrics, there may just be lyrics for the chorus or so. Out of these 20 we gotta pick 10-12 tracks. When you have heard the songs for some time you get certain favorites and in the end there are usually only 2-3 tracks that we have different opinions about. We vote for our favorites and pick the ones with the most votes.
