MultiTracks Now Available from Wasteland by John Redgrave Friday, March 17, 2017 MultiTracks are now available from Wasteland, the new EP from worship leader and songwriter John Redgrave. It features 6 new anthems that are both fresh and congregational, including John's dynamic take on the classic "Doxology," a cover of Lauren Daigle's "How Can It Be," and his 2015 worship single, "Wind and Waves." The album's title track, "Wasteland," reminds us that even in the trials of life, we are covered under the blood of Jesus Christ. "We often lose ourself and our identity in moments of darkness," John explains. "It is my hope that Wasteland can be a tool that helps us to look towards the One who our identity resides in. Even in the darkest points of life God is walking with us. Even in moments of trial He always goes before us. It is often too easy to shift our perspective towards our sorrow rather than to lift our eyes to a place of promise. I pray Wasteland provides others with hope in His promise.

New From Elevation Worship - There Is A Cloud Thursday, March 16, 2017 Today marks the worldwide release of Elevation Worship's There Is A Cloud, a new live worship album that echoes the team's passion to see a new season of spiritual awakening rise in our hearts, our churches and in our world. Songwriter and worship leader Chris Brown shares, "Our prayer is that the songs of this album will fuel your faith and renew your hope even if you are in the midst of a dry and barren season." There Is A Cloud drew its title from an encounter with the Prophet Elijah and one of his servants during a severe season of drought and famine and it asks the listener to rediscover what it means to worship not solely on the mountaintop, but also in the valley – finding faith, joy, and gratitude in the midst of trial and difficulty. We previously released the album's first two singles, "There Is A Cloud" and "Do It Again" and are now excited to bring you the MultiTracks for the rest of the album today. "Yours (Glory and Praise)" is one standout, reverently worshipping the Lamb of God and bringing Him passionate exaltation, "And the praise is Yours, and the praise is Yours. You're the One we bow before. Reigning over us as we lift You up. You will reign forevermore!" "Overcome" is another anthem that you'll find perfect for the Easter season as it recounts the moment Jesus overcame death and the grave, rejoicing in His resurrection and eternal reign. We truly believe these new songs will have a great impact on churches all over the world and encourage you to check out the entire album, which you can pick up today on iTunes.
