With lyrics for comfort, conviction, and reminders of our original nature and Jesus’ saving grace, the new CD from Casting Crowns, titled “Until the Whole World Hears”, does not disappoint. Mark Hall, Megan Garrett, Juan and Melodee DeVevo, Chris Huffman, Hector Cervantes and newcomer Brian Scoggin have taken the term “praise CD” to the next level. The 4th studio CD released by Crowns in 6 years, their message is a friendship with Jesus, the kind that continues into Monday, and throughout the week,
A few notable tracks include: 1. Until the Whole World Hears. In letters Mark Hall received from his Mentor in student ministry, the signature line always included “Until the Whole World Hears.” To shine Jesus’ light to those that need it, and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The congregation of Eagles Landing Baptist Church, where Mark Hall serves as Youth Pastor, sings at the end as the choir. 9. Mercy. With Jesus’ mercy, we are saved. Saved from our brokenness, our humanness. After we prayed to Jesus to be saved, and He provided His mercy, the next part of our prayer should have been (if it wasn’t) “THANK YOU for your mercy!” 10. Jesus Hold Me Now. When life happens, where do we turn? A call to our Father, to be there with us for our spiritual life, just as our human fathers were there for us when we skinned our knees, or had our hearts broken. We need to know that He is with us as we experience those trials and tribulations of our earthly life. 11. Blessed Redeemer. Melodee sings lead vocals on this song, with the Eagles Landing Baptist Church congregation as the choir. A song of praise, and a definite favorite! “How can my praises ever find end?” 12. Shadow Of Your Wings. A fun song, and not a typical Crowns song! Best played loud, driving on the highway, with the steering wheel used as the drum kit. The song has a great message too, that every part of our life, is conducted under the watchful eyes of our Father. I started listening to this CD on September 11th, ’09. What a day to be reminded of the promise of our eternal salvation, and the love our Father has for each and every one of us! I give the CD a full 5 stars, not because I truly love Casting Crowns’ music. The message in the lyrics connects us, and reminds us that when everything is taken away, we will still have Jesus, and He should always be enough! |
