About the CD:
Tracks such as “Salvation’s Tide” (featuring Kristian Stanfill) and “My Victory” (featuring Crowder) open with a glossy, upbeat and alternative sound, perfect to capture attention and prepare fiery hearts for worship. “Surrender,” much later in the worship set, maintains the alternative beats at a slower tempo as it focuses on surrendering oneself wholly to God.
Other songs, such as “God And God Alone” (featuring Chris Tomlin) and “Remember” (featuring Brett Younker), deliver a very familiar sound with powerful calls to praise, invoking passionate congregational worship in their own way.
Although the entire album is spectacular, one song in particular which stands out within the set is “All We Sinners,” featuring Crowder’s vocals.
The song feels like a mashup of a contemplative original hymn and a folk song, reminiscent of the legacy Crowder himself left behind in his worship-leading days at University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas– a style the church’s worship team still honours to this day.
The song’s refrain, simple but authoritative, says “Saved, we are saved / The gates of heaven wide open / Saved, we are saved / The keys to the grave have been stolen,” a strong reminder that in our sin and death, we were rescued at the perfect moment by a perfect Saviour.
