London's KXC Worship Releasing 'Pull Me Through - Live at King's House'
KXC Worship, based at King’s Cross Church (KXC) a thriving church in the heart of London, releases 'Pull Me Through - Live at King’s House' on 27th January 2023.
"Last year we gathered together to worship in our new building in King’s Cross", the group explains. "The sound that came out of those nights was the sound of a community of worshippers coming back together and re-uniting in praise after the dislocation of lockdowns and a long search for a building.
The songs we captured were released in 2022 as two EPs (‘Light of Peace’ and ‘Hope Again’). On 27 January we are combining everything together into a 13-track album Pull Me Through - Live at King’s House - with two previously unreleased bonus tracks. The songs on the album carry a diversity of sounds and genres that reflect some of the life of our church community. What unites the sound is the passion and joy that is erupting as we gather to worship and pray every week. Part of our mission is to resource the wider church with songs of hope, songs of joy and songs that point people to Jesus. All of these songs can be used for congregational worship times and are written to serve both our community and the wider church. It’s an album brimming with life, hope and explosive joy.
‘Fighting For My Heart’ is a song that was written for young people struggling with issues of self-hatred and self-harm. The chorus is based on the closing verses in Romans 8, exhorting God’s people and celebrating how nothing can separate us from the love of God - not even our own brokenness. Our prayer is that this song can become an anthem of hope and a song of deliverance for all who have no hope left for themselves. The album version also features a powerful spontaneous moment of prayer and intercession for young people across the UK."
"These live recordings capture the sound of a church that is coming alive in worship and rediscovering our collective voice", explain Pete & Bee Hughes, Leaders at KXC. "The songs KXC have recorded and released have always been a soundtrack to the story of our church, but none more so than this album. It was recorded in our new church building - a building that had been a long time coming, but we always knew would be a place of worship and prayer. We believe it’s of great significance for us as a church that one of the first events we held in that space was the night of live worship we recorded."
"Every time we gather as a church it’s a reminder that we are not alone", continues Rich di Castiglione, Worship Pastor, KXC. "That our praises join the whole company of heaven celebrating who God is and all that he has done. We pray that this album is a blessing to you and that you can use these songs in your church and personal devotions."
