from Bill Edgar:
"Some Christian music is happy rather than joyful. It wants to get to the banquet table without first going through the valley...Music should be profoundly joyful, and it can't be joyful unless it looks at evil. We want music to be profoundly realistic, but it can't be realistic unless it contains hope...You can't have hope or joy unless you can face the darkness as it is."
