Brenton Brown, one of the most gifted of worship leaders and writers at work today returned October 2, 2012 with a new album full of standout songs, God My Rock. From the writer of “Adoration” and “Everlasting God” comes a stunning brand new album that will strengthen and inspire the church the world over. God My Rock features the great new title track “God My Rock,” co-written with Paul Baloche. God My Rock features six brand new songs including “Word Of God,” “Send Us Out,” “Wonderful Redeemer” and “Jesus My Victory (Communion Song)” and new versions of many of Brenton’s worship classics.
I have loved the hymns “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” based on Beethoven’s 9th symphony, and “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” since I was a young child. As we ready our hearts to celebrate the birth of our King Jesus, Brenton Brown’s great new recordings and re-writes of these hymns of the faith can be found in these energetic live recordings of “Joyful” and “God My Rock.”
Brown’s great new recording of this hymn of the faith “Joyful” is a wonderful way to lift up your voice in praise and adoration of our Savior. He came to earth to teach us how to be more like Him and to die for our sins to save us. Share the love of Jesus with your unsaved friends and family members and tell them the reason for the “hope and joy” in your heart, Jesus! The album features the great worship anthem co-written with Paul Baloche, “Glorious,” which also appeared on Baloche’s last album. Brown and Baloche have been a prolific songwriting team having also co-written the church standards, “Because Of Your Love,” “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising),” and “Our God Saves.”
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Don’t miss any of these great songs for the Church. Brenton Brown’s best overall work is this excellent new album God My Rock. Brenton’s strength is the strong biblical truth of his songs, and he prays and calls upon our King Jesus in every single song. There is absolutely no doubt Who these songs are about. Brenton enthusiastically sings Brit-rock style praise and worship, and the highlights for me are the excellent live recordings of “Joyful,” “God My Rock,” “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising),” “Glorious,” “Humble King” and the closing medley of “Everlasting God” and “How He Loves.” View All Music And Book Reviews By KevinDavis_NRT | View KevinDavis_NRT's Profile
