Newsboys - In the Hands of God

Sometimes, songs just sneak up on you.

The Newsboys have a new single out - In the Hands of God (available on their Myspace).

My very first impressions of of the song were that it was a soft, quiet worship ballad and that it was OK at best. Disappointing, even.

Then we got to the second verse and the reprise of the chorus, and it was a catchy little pop tune.

By the time the bridge and final chorus started, it was a full-blown pop-rock song with some great harmonies and a bass line and drum beat that requires you to start getting your feet off the ground.

So, yeah, it's awesome. You should listen to it. And give it a chance. It'll sneak up on you.
