In stores everywhere is the new worship album from Passion, God of this City. Why is this getting so much attention? Only the fact that many songs the different Passion artists have contributed (i.e. David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, etc) have been widely adopted for worship use in the North American church over the years, the Army included. Don’t believe me? I’m sure you’ll remember singing any number of these songs at least 200 times: Blessed Be Your Name (Matt Redman), All Creatures Of Our God And King (DCB cover, drum intro please), Not To Us (Chris Tomlin), You Never Let Go (Matt Redman, CBLI anyone? Re:gen?).
With this release, the artists are imparting some more original material for worship bands to add to their repitoure. Not only can these songs help us in worship, but they can also inspire worshippers to create their own songs. For a limited time, you can go to the album’s promo website and download chord charts for Let God Arise (Chris Tomlin), Walk The World (Charlie Hall), and God Of Our Yesterdays (Matt Redman), as well as listen to some of the tracks. You can also find info about their upcoming World Tour, scheduled to start on May 16 in Kyiv, or visit the Passion Conference Website to learn more about who, what and why Passion is.
