Citizens/Integrity Music album “The Joy Of Being” on WorshipTeam

Citizens has released “The Joy Of Being” through Integrity Music and the songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “The Joy Of Being” is a recording of some great new songs.

Music is this experiential world that pulls at our emotions and sometimes says the very words we needed to hear without saying anything at all. The notes of a guitar, the melodic progression of a piano, the driving rhythms of drums, joining together in ways that captivate more than just the basic senses. Music digs deeper.

And even still, for all the ways we crave it’s power, can we become so obsessed with the feeling it brings us that we allow ourselves to be manipulated by it? For thousands and thousands of years people have been singing songs. Even before there were instruments to play, the sounds of gentle wind and violent thunder served as accompaniment and even inspiration for the lyric. Have we forgotten to dance the beautiful steps between our hearts and our minds, seeing them as one synchronized piece?

Even as the scales may weigh heavy to one side or the other of lyric or melody, we find ourselves at a point in history when all the decorations we’ve used to dress up the songs we sing in the church have been temporarily boxed up. Perhaps there’s never been a better time for honest introspection as we consider the songs that we sing in the church. Songs that teach us our theology. Build our faith. Rattle our defenses. Give breath to our emotions.

It’s just a voice and an instrument now in front of a shaky camera leading the people of God. This is the moment where we dig deeper then music can ever go. Where we take thoughtful inventory of the words moving from our lips to the ears of those listening. Where we find a middle that doesn’t diminish the importance of words and melody but strives to say what is true in the clearest and most wonderful way possible.

This record was first written as a call to ourselves to get back to middle ground, to a space that occupies more than just emotion or thought, but the soul; a call to be. To find contentment in the absence of production and the honesty of an unrefined voice lifted up in praise to our glorious God.

These songs are yours to use in whatever way you want. We have intentionally made these arrangements as basic as possible to leave room for your imagination. (That’s why ‘The Joy of Being’ was first recorded on iPhones!) If the aim of our worship is to bring God glory, why should there just be 3 or 4 styles and sounds that we use in the church globally to express our praise? There is a world of possibilities and a number of ways for us to articulate that through our own individual creativity.

Sing these songs in your life. Arrange the music in a way that best represents you and your people, and with time, we’ll share our own musical interpretations of these same songs! Let’s journey together in ‘The Joy of Being.’

Natalie Grant/Curb Records Inc. album “No Stranger” on WorshipTeam

Natalie Grant has released “No Stranger” through Curb Records Inc. and all songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “No Stranger” is a recording of some great new songs.

Natalie said to her husband and the album’s producer, Bernie Herms, “I am going to write what I feel. I want to write what has been changing my life for the last few years. I am not going to put a constraint on myself and I am asking you to do the same musically. I want you to go in and say, ‘Holy Spirit, lead me musically. If I had no rules, what would I do?’ That is what I did.”The 5-Time Female Vocalist of the Year co-wrote eight of the album’s 10 songs which includes a cover of one of Natalie’s favorite songs, “Praise You in This Storm,” a song Bernie co-wrote with Casting Crowns’ Mark Hall.Natalie and Bernie developed a timeless and beautiful body of work whose lush musicality and orchestration were led by the weightiness of the lyrics. They spent three days in London, recording at the famed Lyndhurst Hall, which was built in 1884 and became one of the world’s largest recording rooms, able to accommodate a full orchestra and choir simultaneously. After Sir George Martin purchased the church and turned the sanctuary into a studio in 1992, it became home to some of the most iconic recordings worldwide. This is one of the rare contemporary albums that features live strings.Co-writers on No Stranger include Paul Duncan (“ No Stranger,” “Face to Face,” and “Do It Through Me”), Sam and Becca Mizell (“Who Else”), and Bernie, Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin (Presence of a King”). The album features collaborations with hip hop recording artist Steven Malcolm (“Even Louder”), and independent alternative pop/folk artist Fleurie (“Presence of the King”).At times, the music’s strength is in its simplicity. If the sound or word didn’t serve a purpose, it was eliminated. “It’s about removing all of the extra stuff, boiling it down to what really matters, in music and my life. I didn’t need to prove vocal awesomeness. I didn’t want anything to distract from the message.”

God deeply loves us & deeply wants a relationship with us. The same Jesus that did all of that for me can do the same for you too. Let Him be YOUR Jesus. 😭🙌❤️” – Anne Wilson

Rises up from an empty grave
Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save

North Point Worship/Centricity Music album “Anchor of Peace (Live From Decatur City)” on WorshipTeam

North Point Worship has released “Anchor of Peace (Live From Decatur City)” through Centricity Music and the songs are now loaded into WorshipTeam.com “Anchor of Peace (Live From Decatur City)” is a recording of some great new songs.

Part of North Point Ministries’ global network of more than 90 partner churches, North Point Worship captured Live From Decatur City audio and video with a full 12-piece band at Decatur City Church, which is one of the ministries’ seven Atlanta-area campuses. Although recorded without an audience due to COVID-19 restrictions, the worship team is excited to share what they experienced in the church during the recording.

“Live From Decatur City is a project that truly reflects who we are and who we want North Point Worship to be,” says worship leader Lauren Lee. “The entire project takes place inside a beautiful church, with all of us worshipping together. While this past year has thrown us all many curve balls, and being all together isn’t an option for many, we decided to try to create that experience as best we could virtually. Our hope is that these songs will translate through your screen, speakers or phone the way we felt them in that room; a group of friends, full of love for each other, pursuing Jesus side by side.”

And while North Point Worship rarely covers worship songs written outside of its group of talented songwriters and musicians, there are two songs special to the team that they recorded for the new EP. Chris Cauley, Desi Raines and Lee lead a rousing version of Maverick City’s “Promises” and Heath Balltzglier and Emily Harrison lead Bethel Music’s “Goodness of God.”
