- RIVER RISING - Upbeat and soaring. A bit reminiscent of a Bruce
Springsteen tune. The call of God to come into His presence.
- I HEAR A CRYING - Mellow and sweet with some great vocal harmonies.
Confessional with a heartfelt plea for the mercy we know He grants.
- TIMES - Passionate praise for those times of need when the hand
of the Lord has faithfully rescued, even from our own weakness and
failing. The chorus is a deeply emotional cry of love for the privilege
of being in the Lord's presence.
- SOOTHE MY SOUL - "You're the falling rain, come to soothe my soul..."
Praise for all the Lord is to us in comfort, strength and majesty.
Mellow, but soaring.
- LIFTER OF MY HEAD - A powerful fusion of jazz, rock and even a chorus of rap.
"And Jesus is the King of everything and His voice is calling every
man, and if you'll only answer, you can become a dancer, and that's the
way this army makes war!"
- IN THE NAME OF THE LORD - Victory in every situation in the name of Jesus! Very
cool acoustic guitar in a rock style harking back to Crosby, Stills and
Nash in sound and vocal harmonies, emphasis on Stills. Dance it!
- DANCE FOR THE THUNDER - As the name implies, it thunders, but in a folk rock
electric style. "Dance for the thunder! Dance for the grace! Dance for
the fire is warm in this holy place!" This one is aimed at joyously
delighting the Lord Himself.
- LET FREEDOM RING - Another light rock dancer, calling us to bold declaration
of the good news and demonstrations of it in signs and wonders as
promised in the word of God. "We'll heal the sick and raise the dead..."
- YOUR LOVE IS ALL - Back to mellow, electric, passionate, soaring folk music.
The Lord's love is all we really need. Let it be written into us at
every level of our character. This is a long time favorite at New Song.
A song of fervent prayer.
- THERE'S A LIGHT - Some say country, some say folk. Either way, this one
sings of our deepest longing to simply be with Jesus. In His presence
is healing, joy and strength. Another of the best loved at New Song.
- SHADOW BRIGHT - Probably the most intimate and passionate song of
adoration in humility we've ever produced. Easily the favorite from
this CD. No words, no gifts we can offer the Lord are anything but
"shadow bright" next to His incredible and infinite glory. If He is
golden, we are dust. "Sharpen my eyes to see, that I might find a way
to sing to You, O to sing to You, worthy praise!"
- THIS IS GOD - A bit of an Appalachian flavor here. When hearts are
changed and lives transformed and people more in love with Jesus than
ever before, then you know this is God. People shake, but not with
fear. Voices hoarse with tears. "Oh I can see that this is God!" A song
of affirmation of the wonder of revival.
