Promises, takes the listener from praise to promise. Rick Robinson and Danny Weatherspoon join in at the production helm to serve up a project that is sure to encourage the soul. “Crazy Praise” opens with a bang of energetic possibility, set around just what might happen if you let go. “I Worship” takes a CCM flavored turn with an anthemic proclamation; guitar and strings ease the soulful sound of Mitchell’s mix. Delicate worship balladry on “Lift My Hands” grows and winds to full-blown choral splendor. Up-tempo gems “Able” set the stage nicely for title track “For My Good” a contemporary soul-clapper that is inherently infectious. Songs like “It Passed Over Me”, which Mitchell wrote after missing a deadly accident, courtesy of a traffic jam, speak to God’s sovereignty and his hand of protection. Kim Burrell guests spots on “Over & Over”, penned by up and comer Jason Claybourne, whose flowing writing style is perhaps the ying to Mitchell’s yang. “Testimony” is literally that, personal healing testimonies wrapped around a traditional Chicago-style vamp. The extra special energy of Angie Spivey takes things over the top!
Mitchell pens eight of the eleven tracks on this project that focuses on the promises of God. He writes masterfully not only to encourage the saints, but to speak to the heart of the cynic who may be tired of the “guarantees” that come with each new year. “There are some promises that people have been waiting for God to release on them. And we have to know, that no matter what we go through God is thinking of us. No matter what our present situation is, the word of God promises that our end is going to be good. It may not be January. It may not be February. It may not even be December, but we have to live according to our expected end that God has promised us.”
