Old Church Basement Double CD

I've got this CD going round and round and round in my car, and in my head. Although I find the songs a bit to wordy to sing along to, I find myself singing phrases throughout the day, and they provide a powerful nugget of faith-boosting for me at the oddest random times. Although the songs seem laid back and easy to listen to, with great instrumentation and quality tech, the words are true and real and strong. This CD set is a gift to the body of Christ. Open one today.

In a genre that is getting predictable, Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music have joined forces to shake up worship music. Eradicating the tacit divide between Gospel Music and CCM, many of these worship songs have a free-flowing Gospel vibe and lots of ab-libs. Moreover, many of songs have a more personal and even a narrative framework. This adds dimension to worship songs who may often be too """"professional"""" sounding, stripped of individuality. Case in point being """"Talking to Jesus;"""" the song is framed by the narrative of co-writer Steven Furtick's recollection of hearing the power of his grandmother's prayers. \\n\\nTitle track and album opener """"Old Church Basement"""" sets the tenure for the record. Rescuing worship music from the glamor of stage lights and the crowd of a thousand lifted hands,""""Old Church Basement"""" is a clarion call back to worshipping God in simplicity and earnestness. Most endearing is that the song references lines from classic worship songs (Delirious?'s """"Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble"""" and Darlene Zschech's """"Shout to the Lord"""") as well as hymns. Already a #1 Billboard gospel song,""""Jireh"""" features the duet vocals of Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine. The song is a powerful ballad indulging us in a 10-minute engagement with our provider God.
