“Nothing Better”
Corey J
From the EP, Worship is a Beautiful Thing (2014)
Available at iTunes
“You never look at my faults / You never judge me when I’m wrong / You always pick me up when I fall…”
These lyrical sentiments support Corey J’s summation that there’s “Nothing Better” than the prevailing attributes of a loving God. It’s a reflective lyrical journey for Corey J, whose life is a miracle itself. (He was born with no heart rate and no pulse, and amid other complications, was given little more than three days to live.)
“Nothing Better” is one of four songs on the EP entitled, Worship is a Beautiful Thing. With its unhurried pace and musical airiness, the Christian pop track leaves sufficient space for Corey’s melodic tenor vocals.
