Great SalvationLive worship from Huddersfield Christian FellowshipBeating timeGREAT SALVATION Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth! If you think you have the measure of a live and lively Christian recording by a single congregation, think again. Here is a CD to surprise you, by a gifted bunch of sincere believers living out God's Word to proclaim him to others. 'Great salvation' is at least on a par with offerings from Stoneleigh and Spring Harvest, with 12 superb and original songs. Huddersfield Christian Fellowship include believers from many countries, and this is reflected in the styles of music and worship. There are lively songs to draw you in with their enthusiasm and love for the Lord, such as the title track, as well as more reflective pieces. 'Bamuyita Yesu' - they call him Jesus, he who never fails - is sung in Ugandan, Spanish and English, and is heartfelt worship sung by beautifully-blended voices. Many songs are taken from Scripture: 'Sing to God' is Psalm 68 set to a driving tune, and 'In your image' is a powerful and building piece of music proclaiming what Christ has done for us ('You gave your Son to die for me / To suffer shame on my behalf upon the cross / And when I see his sacrifice / How willingly he paid the price / All my earthly glories I consider loss'). This is music blending the best soul and gospel influences with contemporary worship. The interactive CD-ROM also allows you to see more of the work of the fellowship, and how the recording of the CD took place. God has gifted these accomplished musicians and this is a CD that deserves to be widely heard. Buy it in time for your summer holidays and sing along to it in the car with the windows down! Your spirit is sure to be refreshed. Julie Skelton © Evangelicals Now - July 2001 |
