This Is Your Kingdom Come Now

This latest release from Vineyard Worship is called This Is Your Kingdom Come Now. It features worship leader and songwriter Casey Corum and was recorded at Corum's home church near Houston, TX. Some of the other voices on this cd are Torri Baker (Vineyard Church - Columbus, Ohio) and Crispin Schroeder (Northshore Vineyard - Covington, Louisiana), as well as a 17-voice gospel choir. Rhythm and Blues, gospel, and rock are fused together to create an album that is unmistakably a Vineyard worship experience of joy, worship, and intimacy with God.

Starting with a rocking "Love Has Rescued Me' the beat continues with  "Heaven Come Down" and "Where The Mercy Falls". The music next slows down in the soothing, "Peace" before moving into my personal favorite on the album, "How I Love Your Ways". I also love to hear a much loved psalm, "Psalm 92" set to music. There are too many good songs on here, and I know I am leaving out some great ones. This has been one of my favorites of the Vineyard Worship cds.

Cultivation Generation: My Foundation

June 19th brings the newest release from Vineyard Music. A multi-layered mix of guitars. banjos, synthesizers and voices combine to bring you My Foundation. Recorded LIVE at the Cultivation Generation Vineyard young adult conference, this brings you the feeling of being with a crowd of fellow believers as you are ushered into a time of worshiping God. These are very upbeat songs, and many have a pop style that many will find appealing. Listen to the video below for a sampling of the music and comments from some of the musicians.

I admit that there was a bit too much "pop" for my personal tastes. I liked some of the songs by themselves, but I didn't want to hear quite so many at one time. However there were a couple on there that I truly fell in love with. God Don't Never Change  and The Bridegroom really blew me away. I am hoping to hear more songs like them on future albums.

GIVEAWAY: Propeller is offering a download copy of this cd to one of my readers. To enter, just let me know on the blog. Drawing will be held Friday, June 29, 2012 at 9pm CDT.

Miami Vineyard Live cd review & giveaway

What happens when a group of 20+ musicians and 10+ songwriters steeped deep in their own musical traditions of Black Gospel, Latin, Caribbean, and Anglo come together to create a new tradition and sound? What happens when the fusion of Black, Anglo, Latino, Caribbean, and Cuban voices unite together to worship in one voice? Among the 2000 people that attend the Miami Vineyard Community Church, there are over a hundred singers, instrumentalists and songwriters that make up its eclectic worship ministry. For one night, these musicians joined together in worship and invited the church to document the sound that is uniquely MIAMI VINEYARD LIVE.
This distinctive bi-lingual liturgy is filled with many flavors, from Latino claves to gospel two-step to funk and soul to delay-laden rock guitars of modern worship, yet they all work together seamlessly to create a new sound and voice that is authentic and refreshing. From anthems of praise and proclamation to songs of intimacy and adoration, there is a common thread running deep throughout this recording and that is true worship of the Living God as an expression of His Kingdom breaking in on the streets and beaches of Miami, FL.

 This cd is certainly a mixture of different sounds, and everyone is sure to find a style or song that really speaks to them. As I was listening to me, I thought that it would be great for the person who likes to use praise music as part of their work-out routine. There are some very high energy songs, but also has some slower ones that would work for a cool-down. Yet, most important, each song points you straight to God and you find yourself totally worshiping your Creator.

GIVEAWAY: An extra cd has been provided for the winner of the Rafflecopter drawing. Enter below!

I Love Your Presence

I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE was recorded live at the Burn Bright: Worship and The Kingdom Of God conference, hosted by Vineyard Worship. Several hundred worship leaders and worshipers gathered in the Arizona desert to explore the nature of God’s kingdom through music and teaching with some of the Vineyard’s most gifted communicators and musicians. This inspiring collection of songs recorded live at the The Vineyard Church North Phoenix will immerse listeners in the powerful worship that was the highlight of the event. I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE reminds us to not just think of worship as singing songs, but also laying down our lives for Him. ~ press description

While listening to these songs, no matter how busy I was, they would draw me into His presence. The first few selections were pleasant background music as I was busy working on other things, but then track 5, "Love Of God", grabbed my attention as it slowly built up in intensity. It was followed by "One Thing Remains" which caused me to stop all I was doing to just soak in the music that turned into my own time of just worshiping God. All of the songs were good, but the other 2 stand-outs for me were "Isn't He_Amazing Grace" and the title track, "I Love Your Presence".  I certainly recommend this cd of worship songs.
