Worship Central Debut Album - Spirit Break Out

January 20, 2012 10:22 AM

Spirit Break Out.jpg From Kingsway Music

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.

All Sons and Daughters new EP - Reason to Sing

January 18, 2012 09:25 AM

From Integrity Music

Allsons.jpgWhen 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!"

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."

FREE Christmas webinar today at 2E/1C/1800 UTC in "The Choir Room"

September 09, 2010 09:42 AM

Every month, LifeWay has a free, online webcast for worship leaders and music ministers called The Choir Room. It's an hour-long show that shares with you some of the people behind the music, and some of the music that you can use in your church.

As you might guess by the title, some of the show is focused on churches that have choirs as a part of their music ministry, but that's not all we discuss. Last month, Keith Getty stopped by to share about his song "Joy Has Dawned" which serves as the core of our new Christmas musical by the same title.

This month, several LifeWay folks including LifeWayWorship.com's Ken Barker will be sharing new songs your church can sing this Christmas. Plus, it's a great time to share ideas with the hosts, and other guests in the chat room.

Next month, mark your calendars for October 21, because Mike Harland and Ed Stetzer will be hosting a whole hour on Transformational Worship in a Transformational Church. It's the sequel to their first webcast Worship: Reverence vs. Relevance which has been viewed by thousands of worship leaders, pastors and seminaries over the past year.

Pre-register for the October 21st event today, and tweet your question using the hashtag #twtc to be answered in the event!

Day 26: Stand and Shout (Cottrell / Harland)

July 06, 2010 08:59 AM

Mike HarlandWhat do you get when you mix a little Mike Harland with a little Travis Cottrell?

Both of these great songwriters also have a strong connection to the church. Mike's had multiple decades of experience serving churches of every size and style, and Travis has led worship for hundreds of thousands of people... probably mostly women... and is now on staff at a church full time. These guys know what it takes to put together a song that is scripturally sound, musically engaging, useful for the Church and honoring to God.

Travis CottrellStand and Shout is a song that the two collaborated on that exhorts the church to lift up their voices in song. You might already be familiar with this song from Worship Leader Magazine's SongDiscovery or the SonPower book of the same name. (Wait, you don't know what SonPower is?)

Charts, tracks and PowerPoint for Stand and Shout are available today at LifeWayWorship.com.

Day 25: Our God (Redman/Jonas/Tomlin/Reeves) from Passion: Awakening

July 05, 2010 07:45 AM

Passion AwakeningAs soon as we found out about the Passion Awakening CD at LifeWayWorship.com, we knew that it would be filled with songs that you'd want to be singing at your church. So, thanks to our friends at EMICMG, we created SuperCharts for every song on the CD and released them the same day that the CD became available.

Our God by Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves and Jonas Myrin is one of those songs that just connects in worship. With a climactic driving bridge built on Romans 8:31, we thought it should be available to more churches who need more than a SuperChart. So now, you can choose from any of our available LifeWayWorship.com product configurations for your church orchestra, pianist, organist, or... if you have no musicians, choose one of the WorshipTracks options. No musicians? No problem!

Day 23: Awakening (Tomlin / Morgan) - now mappable!

July 03, 2010 07:26 AM

Passion AwakeningDay 23 of 21 days of New Music at LifeWayWorship.com, gives us a chance to introduce you to our new arrangement of Awakening, from the Passion: Awakening album, written by Chris Tomlin and Reuben Morgan. You might remember that on the day that the record released from the Passion project, we made SuperCharts available for every song, in every key. That's how committed we are to getting you new music first at LifeWayWorship.com.

However, we know that not everyone can use a SuperChart. If you just have guitar, bass and drums, you might just buy three SuperCharts and be ready to go. But, if you have a pianist who needs notes on the page, or maybe you have brass players, woodwind players, string players, or even a harpist, the SuperCharts are just part of the picture.

That's why, when we find out which SuperCharts are being adopted and sung by churches, we sometimes go back and create all of the other parts, record our own version of the song for an accompaniment track, and add a PowerPoint presentation to match. It also lets us create a version you can use with our cutting edge SongMap™ tool.

Click here to add the LifeWayWorship.com version to your cart, and choose from multiple variations of tracks, charts and media. SongMap™ a version to fit your music ministry!
