Chris Tomlin Mellows Out With Live “Indescribable”
This is a big hit for this guy, but this live version is more mellow than his standard one.

Even though I am an atheist and Objectivist, I appreciate a great deal of contemporary Christian music, including this song. The musicians are truly talented, generally writing their own music, playing their own instruments, and singing without autotune. The lyrics are filled with beautiful imagery. The themes focus on value, virtues, and principles instead of short-range vices that we find in other pop music. Although I change a few words in my head as I listen to make the lyrics secular and self-honoring, I feel a connection with these artists who believe that values matter and that life is something important. Music can often make people notice common elements in their worldviews, even if their interpretation of those principles differs.
Here is another you might enjoy: “Testify to Love” by Avalon. Musically and lyrically I think it is similar to “Indescribable.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwQhsL98qkg
