Try Kye Kye

No, it's not food like couscous or quinoa, it's a band whose members are originally from Estonia.  Their music may not be your cup of tea (rhythmic, folksy electronica) but I love it.  Their lyrics don't always follow the typical patterns and cadences that we're used to this far west (Blindside, hailing from Sweden, is the same way) which makes things fresh and interesting. 
Studio version of "Broke" (lyrics are posted at the bottom of the page):



Now a live, more acoustic-y version of "Broke":
 



The Kye Kye remix of a Josh Garrels tune called "Rise":



Lyrics to Broke :

I broke in the silence
to repeat what I've done in the past won't change me (Phil.3:3-11)
I broke when you told me I could try all the time
but my ways won't change me (Eph.2:8-9)(Gal.3:1-3)(Ro.3:20-22)

We tried this, but we failed
we know this but we're too blind to see (1Cor.2:14) (2Tim.3:7)
that there is freedom within me (Col.1:27) (Ro.6:4) .
your life brought light for all to see (Jon.12:46) (Mrk.4:11)

When I was lost so I, so I thought that I was searching all alone
like I was lost so I didn't know (Gal.4:1)
what I was keeping all along (Col.1:27) (Ro.8:11)

I knew from the moment my mistakes all stood out
your light's my only safety (Ro.10:3-13)
oh all the times that I didn't look your way (Mat.13:22)
look what I was missing lord you fill in every space

that I replaced instead of you (Eze.36:26-27)

Revived us, we will sing (Eph.2:4-6)
restored us, you are the source to breathe (Jon.4:14)
ignite us to a need to bury everything I never want to be (Ro.8:13-14)

I broke in the silence
to repeat what I've done in the past won't change me (Phil.3:3-11)
I broke when you told me I could try all the time
but my ways won't change me (Eph.2:8-9)(Gal.3:1-3)(Ro.3:20-22)

Revived us, we will sing (Eph.2:4-6)
restored us, you are the source to breath (Jon.4:14)
ignite us to a need to bury everything I never want to be (Ro.8:13-14)

I was listening to these songs some youtube-surf a couple weeks ago! Love the way the lyrics are built like that from scripture...
