I don't listen to much explicitly 'Christian' music, but I do listen to Sons of Korah - a lot. They sing the Psalms - pretty much just the Psalms - and they focus on the lament psalms. Lyrics about anger, grief, longing, desire for revenge as well as hope, peace, celebration. They are serious musicians, and seriously thoughtful about what they do. If you haven't had the opportunity to hear them, you can download a couple of songs, read their commentaries, look at the artwork they use here.
They live down the road from us (well, 80km or so!) but are touring NSW and the US in the next few months. If you get a chance, go listen!
