Today marks the release of the highly anticipated release of Take It All from Passion and we have all the Original Master MultiTracks available for download at Multitracks.com. Thousands of college students gathered in Houston and Atlanta earlier this year to lift up the name of Jesus and this live recording captures the event led by worship leaders Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, Crowder, Matt Redman, and Kristian Stanfill. As with all Passion releases, this one proves worthy of the pre-release excitement.
From the start, Chris Tomlin's "Don't Ever Stop" launches the project with an opening declaration of praise with a modern sound of driving synth/guitar riffs. There is a great corporate chant in the bridge "I don't want to live outside Your ways, I don't want to miss Your heart for me!" Continuing with a folksy stomp beat, "Never Gonna Let Me Go" has a hymn like feel declaring "O Love, that wilt not let me go." "Let It Be Jesus" is a powerful song of worship led by Christy Nockels written out of Phillipians 1:21 "For me to live is Christ, God I breathe Your name above everything, Let it Be, Let it Be Jesus." The lyrical play on Crowder's title "I Am" is not only singable and clever, but it's a great declaration for corporate worship and all the rich string parts are included in the MultiTracks to add to your team. "My Heart Is Yours" has a great mash-up with "I Surrender All" building the hymn during the middle of the song which anchors the modern worship experience with a taste of the past. At The Cross (Love Ran Red) paints an incredible picture of Christ's sacrifice "Where Your love ran red and my sin washed white, I owe all to you." In another piano-driven song, Tomlin leads out with "Almighty" which is a definitely a congregational song of adoration.
As Worship Leaders, we're always on the lookout for great opening songs with passion and energy and we think "You Came to My Rescue" does a great job of this--both lyrically and musically. "Come As You Are" led by Crowder has a raw and honest feel with moving string arrangements and a tasteful upright piano asking us to lay down our burdens and come to Him as we are declaring "Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal." So many great songs on this project, be sure to check out "Worthy" and "Mercy" from modern worship pioneer Matt Redman.
Throughout the album there are layers of synth and electronic sounds that give this project such a modern feel and we're glad to offer these parts to you in six keys to download into Ableton, Playback and CustomMix today!
