From Christian Post

By Mark Hensch

For Andrew Greer, Scripture is most alive in song.

The singer-songwriter burst onto the Christian contemporary music scene with 2009's Open Book, a collection of achingly vulnerable songs about faith. His current release - Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions - sees Greer going in a completely different direction. It's a sophomore album heavily slanted toward covering classic hymns, a move he says reminds him of home.

"Hymns take me back to my roots," said Greer. "They're where I learned music so it's a very honest place for me. There's a purity being able to connect with that again as an adult. I think hymns are very personal, and very much my story."

Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions includes the title track "Softly and Tenderly," featuring renowned bluegrass singer/songwriter Sonya Isaacs; the song "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," a duet by Greer and Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan; and "I Am Thine O Lord/Near The Cross," performed by Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Ginny Owens.

Greer said the tale of his life begins in rural Texas. Raised by parents of "strong but not overbearing" Christian faith, he said he frequently attended church and fell in love with choir hymns. Hearing their harmonies and melodies, he said he found the majesty of Christ.

"Music has played a large role in starting, growing and sustaining my relationship with God," he said. "Hymns in particular matured my faith and anchored it. They're a conversation with God. That's what I want to do with my own songs."

Greer relocated to Nashville's Belmont University to study music and find his muse. Upon graduation, he worked at singer Michael W. Smith's Rocketown Records, only to discover he valued songwriting more than business sales. The solo artist has worked as professional musician ever since.

"It can be scary working in a critical and artistic field," Greer said of his work. "You have to get a tough skin and just go for it. All the same, it's very fulfilling surrendering yourself to what you love to do. It's both wonderful and harrowing at the same time."

Greer's path to musical success was not without its struggles, however. Greer said he recorded Open Book during a time of deep personal anxiety. Alone and afraid, he used his music as a way of finding his faith again.

"I was in a really raw place with my relationship with God and my back was against the wall," Greer said. "I wanted him to show up and I was in a place where I was OK if he didn't. I needed help and a sign. He showed up in an extremely personal way."

After going through the personal trial, Greer said he started focusing on exploring Jesus' sacrifices for humanity through hymns. He reached out to a collection of other Christian artists for input, and the resulting hymn reinterpretations are Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions. Returning to the music of his youth, Greer said he realized the hope present in hymns.

"I've been through bouts of anxiety and it's literally felt like my body is crying out," he said. "What I've learned is that I'm not in my final state yet. I'm not home. My soul is anchored in Jesus."

Greer said he hopes his new hymn collection makes listeners understand the effort needed for an energetic relationship with Christ. The best faith takes place in personal interaction, he said, and grows the more people approach God.

"I've learned from life that God must be a very interesting and intriguing person," Greer said. "We can't just bottle him. We have to have a relationship with him to understand who he is."

Among the notable titles on the album is a beautiful rendition of The Lord's Prayer, featuring the renowned banjo playing of Ron Block of Alison Krauss and Union Station.

Other featured guests on Angel Band are the McCrary Sisters, Marc Scibilia and Julie Lee.

The inventive final album from the David Crowder*Band debuted at no. 2 in the US.

Tim Hughes: 'we need to move back to being Spirit led.'

Spirit Break Out is the debut live album from the London-based Worship Central team.

For a movement dedicated to helping unleash praise and worship within local churches across the world, 'Spirit Break Out' is a live album full of energy and experience. But this is no empty title. 'Spirit Break Out' is the perfect summation of a profoundly held belief that we need to allow God more freedom and power within our worship.

Tim Hughes - songwriter, worship leader, co-founder of Worship Central and vicar-in-training - puts it clearly in an interview with Mission Worship magazine:

"We've never had better quality songs to choose from. There are amazing songs on amazing themes coming out of Hillsong, Passion, Soul Survivor and - I guess - Worship Central too. But there's a danger here: that we rely on those songs to create the amazing encounters in worship. If we let the song become the king, then worship becomes more about what we can create and less about our response to God's initiating love and glory.

"We always need to be looking to be Spirit led in our worship. The Spirit gives life, releases freedom and joy, puts a new song on our lips and reveals the beauty and majesty of Christ."

The message is well-explored through the album, which features Tim Hughes, Ben Cantelon, Al Gordon, Nikki Fletcher and Luke Hellebronth. The team combined forces to lead at the HMV Forum in March this year, and the album's 14 tracks draw out the very best of the evening's worship. Established songs like Tim Hughes' 'Counting On Your Name' and 'Wake Up' as well as Ben Cantelon's 'Saviour Of The World' are found on the album, along with a great selection of new ones.

From the opening moments of 'Spirit Of The Living God' - rising up, phoenix-like with a call for the Holy Spirit to take control - through to the closing moments of 'Undivided Love' and 'All Glory', the album is urgent, focused and engaging.

'Now Is The Time' brings in some beautiful arrangements while 'Sing Alleluia' clearly has the potential to become a big congregational winner. 'New Day' jumps about, 'At Your Name' gets epic while the title track builds into a mountain-sized cry for something bigger and bolder than can be created by human hands, as Tim explains:

"The title track feels like a revival song: it's a heart cry to see God smashing out of the box, turning us upside down, inside out and leading us into more of His presence and glory. Our heart at Worship Central is that these songs and this album will fire people up and inspire them in their worship and will lead people into a deeper relationship with Christ."

Worship Central is a school of worship from Alpha International with a vision to encounter God, equip the worshipper and empower the local church. Led by Tim Hughes and Al Gordon, since launching in 2006, over 100,000 worship leaders, musicians and worshippers have attended training events around the world, as well as using the online resource, Worship Central.

While this is the first live album from Worship Central, they previously released a studio album - 'Lifting High' - in 2009. They have also just put out their first ever album sung in Mandarin, featuring worship leaders from across Asia.

Worship Central continues to run training conferences internationally, in Holland, Germany, London, Scotland, California, Hong Kong, and India.

From Integrity Music

When the pieces seem too shattered to gather off the floor; and all that seems to matter is that I can't feel you anymore...I need a reason to sing.

If we're honest, it's a lot easier to talk about and fully embrace the seasons when God's goodness feels so real, those proverbial spiritual mountaintops where faith is effortless and life's little circumstances are easily explained.

But when life is hard and heartache and confusion inevitably reign, what do we do with those moments, and how do we actually worship God in the midst of them? This uncomfortable tension is precisely what fuels the latest release from All Sons & Daughters, the duo who penned the congregational favorite "All the Poor & Powerless."

Born out of what's happening with their unique community of believers at The Journey Church in Franklin, Tenn., worship leaders David Leonard and Leslie Jordan have written songs they hope will give people permission to not only ask questions, but to express their pain in the midst of it.

"I think that's one of the biggest problems in the modern church right now. We don't always give people permission to feel these things," David says. "When things are going wrong, we tell them 'It's okay, God's taking care of it.' But if you read the Psalms, David is never afraid to express exactly what he's feeling, so that gave us the freedom to be honest and transparent."

To wit, the album's affecting title track comes from a very personal place. "A lot of it stemmed from a conversation I had with my sister who was struggling to conceive," Leslie shares. "They'd tried for four years, and she was completely broken from wondering why in the world this wasn't happening for her."

Adding another layer of resonance was David and his wife's own struggles with becoming parents. "It had gotten to the point where we simply accepted that it wasn't going to happen," David adds. "And when we were writing this song, emotions were swirling in the room--just the question of 'why?'. Luckily, I can say now that my wife and I have a little girl. But this is the kind of struggle that countless people are going through every day with varying results. And it's the kind of issue that leaves us with questions."

In this spirit of transparency, David and Leslie wanted Reason to Sing to strip away the layers of guilt and shame so that we can begin to accept God's grace. Posing the question of whether God can love us, in spite of us, tracks like "Oh Our Lord," "All Praise to You" and "Spirit Speaks" point listeners to the One who's always drawing us to Himself, even when we have questions and life fails to make sense.

Adding to that reassurance is "Buried in the Grave," a song inspired by an article David and Leslie read in Relevant magazine. "In the Easter story, we focus on the death and the resurrection but not always the waiting period in between and what that means to us as believers about being patient and obedient," Leslie says. "I liked how the writer focused on the Saturday that comes between Friday and Sunday, which is exactly the season we feel like we're walking through."

Grace was in the tension of everything we'd lost,
Standing empty handed, shattered by the cross
All we had, all we had was a promise like a thread
Holding us, keeping us, oh from fraying at the edge

Produced by Paul Mabury (Hillsong, Brooke Fraser, One Sonic Society), whom David refers to as the "third member of All Sons & Daughters," it was equally important to create an accompanying soundtrack that was stripped of pretense.

"Rather than looking at aesthetics or serving the emotion of the moment, Paul was driving us to look at our church, at the lyrics and the movement of the music and how it all relates to our community," says David. And whether they're ministering at their home church or at congregations across the globe, the one thing that keeps them grounded is community.

"For us, it's an intangible," Leslie shares. "In this past year, we've realized just how much we need our community. It's life-giving and makes such a difference. Plus, as worship leaders, you're not going to know the songs your body needs to sing if you don't know your body. So that's why it's so incredibly important to dig into life with your church."

One listen to this new song from Nicole C. Mullen, and you'll know the heartfelt truths that it embodies, pulled from the pages of scripture, are the kind of message that our world needs to hear today. One reviewer at dreaminsoul.com said

Look at the news today and you'll see so many heart-moving stories - the aftermath of the earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, uprisings in Egypt and Libya, and even more closer to home. Nicole C. Mullen's timely new song Kingdom Come, inspired by The Lord's Prayer is a soothing reminder of God's reign and power on the Earth - as it is in Heaven.

At LifeWayWorship.com, you can download the original version, soon the accompaniment track, and, of course, the SuperChart for "Kingdom Come" in all 12 keys, so no matter the soloist, worship team or choir, you can sing it this Sunday in your church as a prayer to God to "let Thy kingdom come!"

Every track, every Superchart from Nicole C. Mullen's newest release "Captivated" is coming to LifeWayWorship.com on Tuesday, May 3!

You may know Nicole C. Mullen as an artist, as a songwriter, or as a speaker, but you probably know her best from her songs. Her songs "Redeemer" and "Call on Jesus" have become favorites in worship ministries around the world.

With "Captivated," Nicole says "Often I write songs that are more horizontal instead of vertical where I'm talking to the people about the Lord, but in this case I found that I kept writing more vertical songs. Before I knew it, I had a body of work and as I looked back I saw that I had a worship album here."

Be sure to come to LifeWayWorship.com on Tuesday for the exclusive launch of this brand new set of songs!

Our friends at Second Baptist Church have graciously made available the 1080p version of "Rise Up" for download for your church to use in your Easter celebration this Sunday! At LifeWayWorship.com, you can download the accompaniment tracks for "Rise Up," and have your worship team sing along to the video! Just complete the form below, and you'll receive a link to a page where you can download the 402MB MP4 format video.

Love Divine celebrates the legacy of one of the most significant voices in church hymnody: Charles Wesley, connecting the dots between two centuries of the worshipping church.

Each of the thirteen tracks on Love Divine has been arranged by Chris Eaton and John Hartley, and recorded by some of the most well known contemporary vocalists today, including: Aaron Keyes, Brenton Brown, Brian Johnson (Bethel Live), Chris Eaton, Chris McClarney, Chris Quilala (Jesus Culture), Jason Roy (Building 429), Jenn Johnson (Bethel Live), John Ellis, Kim Walker-Smith (Jesus Culture), Leigh Nash (Sixpence None The Richer), Mark Roach and Tim Hughes.

"Our church society throughout the world has maybe become too 'familiar' in our expression of worship at times," says Chris Eaton. "I longed to paint a musical picture in production of these new melodies, that truly enhances the text, born out of great liturgy, so that our modern experience of worship links us directly to the passion of the early hymn writers.

Producer and LifeWay Worship songwriter John Hartley says "Love Divine may be rooted in a time before the industrial revolution, but Wesley's songs can be communicated with just as much passion and purpose as when they were first aired."

Sing "Rise Up" this Easter Sunday at your church with the accompaniment track from Second Baptist Houston's viral video hit "Dance Your Shoes off."

With over a quarter million views on YouTube, this energetic new song from Josh Moore, Lauren Camey and Jonathan Camey challenges the people of the Lord to live out the resurrection celebration with their lives.

If you haven't seen Second Baptist Houston's video Dance Your Shoes off, take a look! Inspired by last year's Easter celebration video from Budapest, it's been featured at worship.com, at CNN's iReport site, on Facebook, and on countless blog posts.

The song in the video is "Rise Up," written by Caedmon's Call keyboardist and Second Baptist Church member Josh Moore. We're excited to announce that very soon, you'll be able to get charts, tracks and more for "rise up" right here at LifeWayWorship.com! Stay tuned!

Holy Rain

In dry and barren land,
Our fields have turned to sand.
Before you now we stand.
Lord, come and heal this land.

Let your holy rain fall down,
Let your holy rain fall down.
Wash and cleanse within, without.
Water our soul's thirsty ground.
Let your holy rain fall down.

The wells of our supply
Are broken and run dry.
With desp'rate hearts we cry;
Lord, open up the sky.

Let your holy rain fall down,
Let your holy rain fall down.
Wash and cleanse within, without.
Water our soul's thirsty ground.

Let your holy rain fall down.
Let your holy rain fall down.
Let your holy rain fall down.

"Always" by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill is one of the new original worship songs written for one sonic society's new release "society," now available for download from LifeWayWorship.com.

This worship anthem is one that serves as a rallying cry for your congregation. Rooted in Psalm 121, the chorus testifies:

Oh my God, He will not delay.
My refuge my strength always.
I will not fear, His promise is true.
My God will come through always, Always.

"Always" is available at LifeWayWorship.com, both as a downloadable MP3 of the original one sonic society recording, and as a SuperChart. SuperCharts come in all twelve keys, giving you the flexibility to sing the song in any range you need for this Sunday!

one sonic society's newest EP "Society" just released, and you can get the charts for every song right here at LifeWayWorship.com! You'll find two original songs penned by the members of one sonic society Jason Ingram, Stu Garrard and Paul Mabury, as well as songs co-written with Kristian Stanfill, Paul Baloche and Hillsong's Mia Fieldes.

All three members of one sonic society agree that this album is not artist driven, rather song driven. It's not about performing in front of massive crowds or gaining the next radio hit. The oss focus is to stir the church with new worship music that connects and resonates within people.

Paul Mabury of the group describes the album this way:

"In the 2nd chapter of Acts when Christian church was born, one of the most powerful elements was unity. God pours out His blessing where there is a group of people unified by love... His Love. The "society" element of this album is celebrating this, not only as an ideal but as a goal. We are intentionally wanting to connect people together, to not be competitive but creative and see what God does. These are exciting times!"

David M. Edwards is a gifted songwriter and worship leader whose songs like Let Your Holy Rain Fall Down have become part of the fabric of worship for churches around the world.

David's new recording Here with You is full of worship songs that you can use in your church. "These songs are all about Him - they're not about me," Edwards said. "Pain and life teach us to worship and cling to God, so my songs come from personal experiences of joy and pain in my own life. There's always something we can be grateful for - to come to God and thank Him."

Are We there Yet (Music Video) from imbConnecting on Vimeo.

When it comes to reaching a lost world for Christ, some may wonder how far we've come and how much farther to go.

Today, we can identify the people groups that remain untouched by the Gospel. For the first time, it is conceivable that all people groups can be reached in the coming years with a Gospel presence. According to IMB's 2009 statistical data* there were 506,019 baptisms, 204,192 churches. Church membership overseas was at 10.7 million, and there were 24,650 new churches.

Yes, there is still a long way to go, but progress is being made every day.

Now is the time to also take a fresh look at the challenges ahead and be ready to finish the task. With 45,560 churches in the Southern Baptist Convention, there is much work to be done.
Here's a global snapshot of the work ahead of us:

* 4,743 people groups are not engaged at all with the Gospel
* 6,426 unreached people groups (those with less than 2 percent of people who profess to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ)
* 1.7 billion with little or no access to the Gospel
* 1.5 billion Muslims - 22 percent of the world's population
* 950 million Hindus in the world
* Christian witness among China cities less than 1 percent
* 3 percent evangelical believers among Ethiopia's 82 million people
* 355 million in South America do not know Christ
* Less than 1 percent Christian among more than 270 million living in the Central Asia region
* 650,000 Lezghi in the Causcasus Mountains fear evil spirits
* 97 percent of all Palestinians are Muslim
* 89 percent of North African and Middle Eastern people groups are unreached
* 311 people groups in India have no known evangelical believers
* Only 1,600 believers among 1.6 million Muong of Northern Vietnam

A little overwhelming isn't it?

The task is doable, but it will take all of us - our churches, our missionaries, our national partners, our Great Commission partners.

Are we there yet? Not quite. But we're on our way.

If you are having a mission emphasis at your church this December, this song is for you!

LifeWay Worship, in cooperation with the International Mission Board, is making available to you charts and tracks for the new mission song "Are We There Yet?" Rick Heil of SONICFLOOd was inspired to write this amazing song during trips to areas of the world where there are still unreached people for Christ. This song is our gift, Rick's the IMB's and LifeWay's, to help you inspire your congregation to connect, grow, serve and go to help spread the soul-saving message of the Gospel to make disciples of all nations.

If you're a fan, or your offspring are fans of the one man "band" named Owl City, you've probably heard about his cover of Stuart Townend and Keith Getty's "In Christ Alone." If not, head over to his blog right now and take a listen.

Everyone from Tim Challies to Barry Westman to Loops in Worship to Christianity Today has taken notice, and the Twitterverse is all a-twitter about it.

Most of the reaction is positive. Owl City isn't a "Christian band," but Adam Young is a Christian, so it's only natural that someone who takes his faith as seriously as his music would feel moved to record something as moving as Stuart and Keith's song, and we think he did a great job too. In fact, we think his arrangement merits a new version of the song on our site!

Thanks to our friends at EMI Christian Music Group, Getty Music and expert engraver Bryce Inman, we've been able to create a piano accompaniment edition of the song that will let you play it just like Adam did on his blog!

Download and print the piano accompaniment edition of "In Christ Alone" today and play and sing it this Sunday! If you need to see it before you buy it, just add it to your cart to see the Print Preview.

A brand new worship song you won't find anywhere else, Be Glorified is a sensitive call to worship written by worship leader Jonathan Riggs to encourage us to "lose ourselves in finding You."

Be glorified, be glorified, We lift up our hands to say be glorified. Be glorified, be glorified, We lift up our hands to say be glorified.

As we gather here together make us one, make us one.
And we'll worship You forever, Praising Father, Spirit, Son.
And we'll leave here for the better
When what we choose to do is lose ourselves in finding You
And lift up our hands to say be glorified.
We lift up our hands to say be glorified.

We lift up our hands to say be glorified, be glorified.
