Favorite lyricists in Christian metal/rock?

Partially inspired by Starfire's topic (https://thecmr.forumotion.com/t7516-why-don-t-more-christian-metal-bands-write-songs-like-this), post your favorite lyricist(s) in Christian metal/rock, or rather bands that have your favorite lyrics.

Some that come to my mind include:
Andrew Schwab (Project 86)
Aaron Weiss (mewithoutYou)
A Hill to Die Upon

(Everything starting with A was not deliberate.)

Steve Rowe

I'm not a Christian, but I think that whoever writes the lyrics for The Burial (at least the most recent album) and Micah Kinard from Oh, Sleeper are really good.

Also Jason Wisdom definitely lived up to his name (on Dichotomy at least)

Reese Roper (Five Iron Frenzy, Brave Saint Saturn, Roper, Guerilla Rodeo)
Michael Knott (solo, LSU/Lifesavers, Aunt Bettys, Bomb Bay Babies, CUSH)
Mark Salomon (The Crucified, Stavesacre, Neon Horse, Outer Circle, White Lighter)
Jeff Bellew (The Crucified, Stavesacre, Chatterbox)
Greg Minier (The Crucified, Minier, Applehead)
Josh Moore (Beloved)
Joe Musten (Beloved, YOUR SON IS DEAD, Advent, Torn)
Ethan Luck (My Red Hot Nightmare, solo)
Chris Dickens (Mission of One)

Eric Clayton
William Ashton Knight
Frank Hart
Ojo Taylor
Glenn Kaiser/Jon Trott

Matt Smith (Theocracy)
Neal Morse
Eric Clayton [2] (Saviour Machine)
Glenn Kaiser [2] (Rez Band)
Larry Norman
Ted Kirkpatrick (Tourniquet)

Mark Hall (Casting Crowns)
Matt Smith (Theocracy)
Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine)

I also really like the lyrics of several songs by The OC Supertones - don't know if Matt Morginsky wrote all of them.

Glenn Kaiser
Steve Taylor
Andrew Schwab

Jimmy P Brown II
Ted Kirkpatrick
Matt Smith

Ted Kirkpatrick of course

Larry Norman
Steve Hindalong
Neal Morse
Kerry Livgren
Michael Sweet
Ulf Christiansson
Michael Roe
Terry Taylor
Steve Taylor
Ted Kirkpatrick
Michael Pritzl
Bono/The Edge
Amy Grant
Ojo Taylor 
Michael Drive Lee
Jimmy Brown III
Michael W. Smith
Oden Fong
Eric Clayton
Matt Smith
Lary Dean
Mark Gershemel

My favortite is undoubtedly Bob Hartman. We must take into consideration that Petra used to release their discs once a year, and since Greg X. Volz left the band, hartman was the only band's songwriter.


But I also love these song writers:

Ted Kikpatrick
Michael Bloodgood (along with Les Carlsen and the guys in Bloodgood. Their rhymes are great and sounds like poesy to me)
Glen Kaiser
Jimmy Brown II
Sacred Warrior (I guess Bruce Swift is their main songwriter)

Matt Smith

Matt Smith is my favorite, without a doubt.

Other favorites:

Markus Sigfridsson (Harmony) - Chapter II:  Aftermath has some great lyrics.
Mehida - Not sure who wrote the lyrics for Blood and Water, but they were quite good.
Children 18:3 - all their albums have great lyrics.
Becoming the Archetype - Primarily for Celestial Completion.

My all time fav is Steve Taylor.

Steve Taylor does have incredible lyrics, but I still can't get into his music. If we're judging purely lyrics though, this judge is holding up a hard 10/10 for Taylor.

Steve Rowe, Jayson Sherlock - Morti
Roger Martinez -Roger Rising
Tommy Green - Sleeping Giant
Dallas Taylor - Underoath/Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster
Little Timmy - AILD,ADM

(I'm just going to assume that the lead vocalist writes most/all of the lyrics in the average band...)

I'll definitely second Micah Kinard for Oh, Sleeper.

Also:

Josh Scogin (Norma Jean)
Mike Hranica (The Devil Wears Prada)
Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter)
Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red)
Thor Georg Buer (Grave Declaration)
Lacey Sturm (Flyleaf)
Karl Walfridsson (Pantokrator)

Matt Smith

Verbum Lux, I think keyboardist,  Mikko Härkin wrote all of Mehida's material.

Here's one not already mentioned:
Alice Cooper.

Josh Scogins (68', The Chariot, Norma Jean)

Ryan and Don Clark (Demon Hunter)

Jimmy Ryan/Brennan Chaulk/Stephen Keech (Haste The Day)

Thor Georg Buer- Grave Declaration
Miika Partala & Manu Lehtinen (Deuteronomium)
