Eternity Invades

If you’re looking for some great new worship music or a CD to pop in the car stereo and bop around town to, you should pick this one up today.

This collection of songs is Vicky’s personal favorite so far and for good reason; here artfully-simple and passionate lyrics are well-paired with catchy and powerful music. The result is both uplifting and challenging. These songs attest to a pure and consuming love of Christ, and will encourage others in that pursuit.

The songs that bookend the album celebrate salvation; the first (Salvation Day) is new for this album, the last (The Wonder of the Cross) a bonus track which is already well known and loved.

Here are some brief comments on a few of my personal favorites.

“Deliverer” is a beautiful prayer for God to come into our broken lives and world along with a proclamation of His power to change us.

“Breath of God” is proclamation of and prayer for the power of God to breathe His life into us.

“Blessing and Honor” is a vivid and exciting portrait of the transfixed worship in heaven and a joining into that from earth.

“Break Our Hearts” is a prayer for transformation that minces no words: “…change the way we think and how we spend.” I can identify with this, as so often I am wasteful with the resources of time/talent/treasure that I’ve been trusted with, not taking full advantage of the opportunities I have to bring life to others.

“Emmanuel” is a reflection about Christ’s sacrifice for us, and a prayer for the purity and freedom that He offers through this.

“Listening” is a song about not needing another song; a creative reminder that we would be well-served by some silence and waiting to hear God’s voice.

Finally, “Undivided Heart” is an acknowledgement of the evil inside of us, and a passionate request that this be replaced by purity of purpose through an overwhelming love for Christ. Amen.
