Tennessee music collective United Pursuit is well known for its raw, organic sound and the intimate worship which the band shares in weekly Tuesday night gatherings that are open to the public for free at Knoxville's Fifth Ave House and are livestreamed through their website. They have penned many worship favorites that have greatly impacted the church and have been covered by numerous artists such as Jesus Culture, Tasha Cobbs, and The Digital Age. The band's new live album Simple Gospel is filled with passionate anthems that capture the timeless message of God's great love for us.
People are certain to connect with these songs as with simple lyrics and a rich personal sound, they invite God's presence and promote deep-seated corporate worship. "Simple Gospel" expresses a desire for intimacy with the Father, opening with the phrase, "I want to know You, Lord, like I know a friend." The song unfolds as a heartfelt confession to God, praising Him for the way He found us when we sought Him and rejoicing that nothing can separate us from His love. "Head to the Heart" has a laid-back Southern sound that gives it a modern-hymn feel. The song brings us to a place where we place our complete trust in Christ, letting everything go and allowing Him to lead where He will. "Never Going Back" repeats the simple truth that because of God's faithfulness and love, we are never alone. It professes our surrender and declares, "I've made up my mind I'm never going, I'm never going back." After the music drops back allowing for a time of prayer and spontaneous worship, a warm cello line picks up and drives the song forward and it continues to build as it praises to the end, "There’s nothing that I have need of cuz there’s nothing you haven’t done. You make my soul alive. You put your love inside. I’m singing out your lovely name, I’m giving you everything. You make my soul alive, You put your love inside."
Simple Gospel is now available on iTunes. We encourage you to check out all the songs on the album and download your copy today.
