Worship God Live

Debuts

The newest Sovereign Grace semi-live, "Worship God Live" has recently been released. All in all, with the exception of the Awesome God CD, it is the best album Sovereign Grace has published in a while.

It was refreshing to see see Sovereign Grace music return to a style that was more accesible, that is sing-able, for the average person. A pleasant suprise was that the strongest songs on the album come from some of Sovereign Grace's newcomer's.

This question begs to be asked, though: Why have we abonded the horn and only use the pennywhistle (which I belive went out of style in the late 90's and violin for acoustic lead instruments? These songs practically beg for brass.

I was disappointed with Bob Kauflin's version of "God Moves in Mysterious Ways". The words are fantastic, but the melody doesn't quite live up to the strength of the lyrics.

Perhaps the strongest song on the album is "Perfect Lamb of God". It is a great balance of musical and lyrical intensity and the words have a fresh focus.
