Rivers: Sunday Mornings Live - Deeper Worship

-

 YES!!! Deeper Worship y'all did it! 

Rivers is the debut worship album from the worship team at Pastor William McDowell's church. I have been to the most recent Habitation Conference (Habitation 2019) and am currently attending his Deeper Worship Intensive.  In short, William McDowell is a major influence on my worship life. After the Binions, he is probably the person who has influenced me the most. After that would be Kim Walker-Smith, Steffany Gretzinger, and Israel Houghton. 

The people featured on this album are no strangers to William McDowell fans or people familiar with his church. Trinity Anderson is most likely his successor, his Elisha for a lack of better words. She and another worship leader at his church, Chris Lawson, have been featured on his most recent album titled The Cry: A Live Worship Experience.  It also features Matt Gilman, who recently joined  William McDowell's church. Matt Gilman although new to William McDowell's church is not new to the worship leader community, he penned the song Holy, which was made popular by Jesus Culture.

All the songs featured on this album are cover with the worship team's spontaneous spin. I literally love this Album! I have no critic. Every song is great, in good order and definitely, Holy Spirit led.

I have heard all of the original versions of the songs except two songs which are Endless Praise, and I Surrender (which were sung by Planetshakers and Hillsong, respectively). 

I like how certain songs flow really well together. I Can't Stay Here and I See Heaven, which I originally heard the combination on Deeper Worship Intensive (DWI). Is soooooo anointed!!! I can't share the word Pastor Caleb Grant spoke when it was on DWI, but it went so well together. 

The Other songs that go together really well are the first two songs which is  Riverlude &  In the River/All the Way In  and Only You Can Satisfy/You Satisfy & Satisfied (The Minstrel's Song). 

I hope you can appreciate this album as much as I do!

Happy Listening!!!

Homecoming (Live) - Bethel Music

-
 Homecoming, when I first heard about this album I was thinking " That's an odd name for a worship album."  After listening to at least the first and last song ( and maybe a couple in the middle) the name makes total sense. I was super excited about this album, much more than the last album from Bethel Music titled "Revival's In The Air". Actually, most of the songs from that album are great songs they just took a while for me to realize it.  The first songs I will talk about are the song that you may have heard before. These would be, of course, Son of Suffering, Too Good To Not Believe, Hymn Of Heaven, My King Forever, and All Hail King Jesus.   My King Forever I like the song but I was expecting a spontaneous moment or something; since the song has been recorded by Josh Baldwin multiple times before now.   All Hail King Jesus was ehh. To be honest, I have not really been a fan of Bethany Wohrle (who lead the song on this album). I love the song since I he

Phil Wickham & Bethel Music album?

-
 If you are a fan of modern worship music, then you probably have heard of Phil Wickham. Well for the last ten years his most popular songs have been writing collaborations with Bethel Music and Jesus Culture.     I had this idea that he calls over all these people he wrote with, and records an album titled "Phil Wickham: The Bethel Sessions (Live)". He calls his friends Jeremy Riddle, Chris Quilala, and  Kalley (who are no longer with Bethel Music, though Chris is still part of their affiliate church/group Jesus Culture) to come over to his church so they can record the album. Then he ask his good friend Brian Johnson to rally all the Bethel Music troops he wrote with (Brandon Lake, Cory Asbury, Zahriya Zachary, and himself) to come and record too! Maybe there will be appearances from Hillsong's Chris Davenport and Reuben Morgan, the Legend Matt Redman, the Passion Crew (Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran and etc), Mack Brock formally of Elevation,  and Josh Farro!  This wo

Inhale (Exhale) - MercyMe

-
 Two songs, that's it only two songs that actually did not make me want to fall asleep. Not trying to be rude or funny but is it sad I just realized that there are usually only 2 songs on a MercyMe album that do not make you tired. Not that is boring it just sounds like something I would use to put my little cousin to sleep.  If you listen to the radio and hear a MercyMe song, it is a good chance those would be the only songs you would like. It wasn't that memorable but it was peaceful so if you need noise to go to sleep this is it. I can't even say more than a paragraph and a half it is just simple. Well... Happy Listening !!! :-)
