Beautiful New Music from Sovereign Grace & **A Giveaway**
I wanted to alert you to a new album from Sovereign Grace Music (a ministry that I would highly recommend you make yourself familiar with!). “From Age to Age” was released on April 10th and truly is a faith building, spirit lifting collection of songs that I would encourage you to add to your music library. Here is the description from SGM’s website:
Inspired and influenced by hymn writers of the past like Martin Luther, Augustus Toplady, and Charles Wesley, From Age to Age contains 14 new hymns that combine rich, theologically driven lyrics with singable melodies for the glory of the Savior whose praises know no end.
The beauty of Sovereign Grace’s music is that most of their songs are written with congregational worship in mind. I have sang many of their songs with my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ and am always blessed by the biblically sound lyrics and Christ-exalting subject matter. The melodies are reminiscent (as the blurb above mentions) of the beloved hymns of old in their sing-ability, which makes them perfect for corporate worship, but also for family and private worship. The beauty of the songs makes them perfect for playing as you go about your daily business at home and in the car. Basically, they are songs that you can listen and worship with in every aspect of your life!
I have been listening to this album for the past week and have been incredibly blessed by it. I love songs that are easy to sing, but that make me think as well–songs that encourage me to mine the depths of God’s glory and his love. This album does just that. Each time I listen to it a new song jumps out at me and offers my soul good, nourishing truth.
My favorite song has got to be O My Soul, Arise. I encourage you to listen to it now (in its entirety… and loudly) and be blessed by the vision of our Risen Savior to passionately loves us, always our High Priest and Sacrifice.
A more upbeat song which is a favorite of my boys is Mighty Fortress. They refer to it as the “Strong Song” and we are known to blare it in the car while pumping our fists in the air… yeah.
There are so many beautiful songs on this album. Here is one more of my favorites, My Redeemer’s Love:
You can listen to all of the songs online here.
