Kingsway 2nd October

Title: God my Rock
First Line: When my heart is overwhelmed
Artist: Brenton Brown
Composer: Brenton Brown, Paul Baloche
Album: God my Rock
Mp3: Yes
Sheet Music: Yes
CCL: Too new
Popular sources: Too new...I think I can pretty much guarantee it will be in the next Kingsway publication though

My thoughts: To me, choruses and hymns fall into 4 broad categories; Praise, Worship, Praise Bridge (these include traditional hymns, they set the mood for the next half of the worship session) and Worship Bridge (set the mood for Worship and can be used to drift into the quiet time of the session).  The most valuable choruses and hymns are those that are, or can be adapted to be, 2 or more of the categories.  Brown and Baloche are an irresistable pairing, they haven't disappointed me yet, and this one not only is a very good Christian song, it is also both Praise Bridge and Worship Bridge, meaning it could go far - especially with me.   You can keep it at one speed, or break it right down at the end, wow I can just imagine it.   Itching to transcribe it already.  I've even added the God my Rock album to my Kingsway wishlist.

Great to get excited about something for a change, and there is definitely something about this one.  And a nice surprise - I thought it was going to be something from Bethel, but I didn't notice that Brown had a new one out also.  Maybe next week?  Or something from the Getty stable?

This song is available on Kingsway from today until 8th October inc.  To access, you must logon; or register with Kingsway, who in return will add you to their mailing list, but they are not serial spammers.
