"In September 2015, the whole Message family gathered for two days of stories and vision, worship and prayer", explains the Message Trust.
"During this time, we recorded a collection of new songs - some which we’ve been singing for years, others which are brand new. All have been born out of the life of The Message as it takes the good news of Jesus to the hardest to reach young people in our nation and, increasingly, around the globe. It is the sound of a movement on mission."
It didn't take me long to get into this album. It is one of those instant hits kind of albums. The distinctive vocals of Jamie Hill are all around this album but his wonderful vocal really bounds out during the thumping track 'I Hear The Drums'. Be prepared to clap, jump and stamp your feet to this track which is a no holds bar kind of worship song.
'Our Light Has Come' has a fist pumping chorus, whilst in Arise' and 'Calvary' you have to stop what you are doing and get lost in worship with them. I love the tone and sound of 'Not Giving up'. There are so many strong songs on this album and actually one of the strongest points on the album is how varied in style and sound they are.
When I took a step back from the album I soon discovered why I enjoyed it so much. The songs and album stands out from other worship albums, not necessarily for being a new fresh modern sound that is 'on trend', but for it's lyrics. These words are not only powerful, they have been thought about and taken time over to help the worshipper in their personal worship time. It's this that makes the songs something very special. It could be said some songs out there are all about the musical sound and the lyrics are a second thought, I name no names. Yet on this album it's all about giving people words to explore the Majesty of God.
