0 Faint Not – Jenny & Tyler
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hearing for the first time the husband and wife duo of Jenny & Tyler through a tweet about their new album Open Your Doors being on sale in iTunes for $3.99. The fact that two people who love each other can do what they both love doing together is such a fantastic thing to see. That the thing they love is writing and playing good music makes it even better!
Perusing their website, I came across this gem of a song, Faint Not, from an older album by the same name. The chorus is based upon Galatians 6:9, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” The rest of the song reflects on the futility of human efforts to combat the world’s problems, especially poverty. But hope is not lost as the bridge points to God’s gospel of love and forgiveness through his Son Jesus, the Light of the world is offered as the one true solution.
So have a listen, download some free songs, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, subscribe to them on YouTube, and support their work buy buying an album or four.

the problem’s not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like ‘come together be good willed’
the gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say
we ignore the claimso my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in loveit’s not that we don’t know or we’re not shown the proof of poverty
it’s not that we don’t have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery
we quit because it’s not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there
we forget to careo my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in lovewhere there is hatred, let me sow love
where there is injury, let me pardon
where there is darkness, let the Light come, comeo my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in loveo my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in lovefaint not
