Armond WakeUp’s new single “Sweeter” reminds us that Jesus truly is Sweeter than the best thing ever.
Armond shares about why he wrote “Sweeter”…
”God loves putting you in situations that make you realize #1 you aren’t as satisfied in Him as you believe you are (thanks to my dog Jana for that quote) #2 you experience enough of Him to know when you’re operating in His strength vs your own. Working with a record label to create this album after doing my thing independently for nearly 15 years has been a stretch (putting it lightly). It has tested any patience, resolve, & control issues I have. It has also made me realize that “Christ alone” is not a cliche, but it should be “life” as the hoopers say.
I know there is plenty to talk about in our world nowadays. & the Christian perspective is needed now more than ever. But we can’t give a Christian perspective without giving Christ first. I’ve spent so many years trying to artistically fit Jesus into situations & perspectives…but finally I’ve realized that He is the situation & He is the perspective. Until we grasp that, we can talk until we’re blue in the face but our words & lifestyles won’t have the same impact, Jesus truly is Sweeter than the best thing ever, beyond words, beyond a feeling, He just IS. 10 years into my walk as a Christian I finally get that. Hopefully this song & this album will reveal that to people”.

”Sweeter” Lyrics
Never knew I needed til I needed it
Didn’t know it was possible, or believed in it
Til I recognized the creation of the need
Exists
Now all of it is me & Him
Immediately greeted with the seed of it
My desire is to be seated in
A sea of bliss
Not a liter, I need a legion
So I seek in this
To receive’s a gift
& You won’t have to guess where my allegiance is
It’s sweeter
Like the morning dew
I need more of You
Adorned in foolishness
I’m useless
You abort these truths
But when I’m born in you
I can’t afford to lose
When I’m with you even the storm is music
When I’m with you even the storm is music
Cuz I know what you have in store is beautiful
More than credible you’re incredible
The metronome, I’m never alone
You’ve met every measure
Lord, You’re set in stone
The color of my skin is intentional cuz you set the tone
The best I’ve ever known
Your resurrection consoles me
The self existent one
The one who is & Is to come
The list goes on
I’m drenched in love
It gets sweeter
