22 songs about Heaven

Gunn's Camp

Artists always have a great way of bringing out theology through their art.

I always love art that makes me asks questions. That helps me wrestle with life and the tough stuff, the muck and the mire.

Art forces you to re-consider. To look at all of life differently.

We can learn a lot about ourselves, our community, our way of life by the songs we listen to and the pictures the artists paint.
