JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Eye on Integrity is based on John 14:6.Jesus said, “I am the truth.”When Jesus was on trial, He said to the Roman Governor Pilate, “The reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”Jesus invites us to listen to His teaching and live out what He says. If we do, Jesus says we will know the truth and the truth will set us free.

But Pilate was not ready to acknowledge Jesus as the source of truth. He was not even ready to acknowledge that there was truth. He asked Jesus, “what is truth?” And then, he walked out to face the crowd. If truth is not established firmly in our heart, it leaves us vulnerable to just go along with the wishes of the crowd. That is what Pilate did.Faith walks toward God, using the bridge that He has provided to cross over from a world of lies to a place of truth.Walking in the truth of Jesus is a virtue to embrace for our lives in the Year of Integrity.John Shirkjohn@wjtl.com.

Abide with Me – Sara Groves.Sara Groves follows her acclaimed 2015 album Floodplain with her thirteenth studio album. She has stated that her previous album found her on the floodplain reflecting on the kind provision that comes when she finds herself in a place where she cannot rescue herself. Abide with Me is a collection of hymns and songs that were with her on the floodplain. The album was recorded in a 105-year old church (the construction of which is shown on the album cover photo), that the Groves purchased in 2011 and converted into Art House North, a creative community for the common good, in the West End of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Groves has stated that it was appropriate that the album was recorded in a space built for congregational singing. The album was recorded with her long-time bandmates, Aaron Fabbrini (bass, pedal steel) and Zach Miller (drums), produced by John Mark Nelson and mixed by Ben Gowell. The album includes songs carefully selected from Groves’ personal list of hymns.

Each song has provided a source of healing and comfort to her throughout the years. Groves’ husband first came up with the idea of a hymns album about fifteen years ago and has been compiling possible songs for inclusion since then.The album is recorded simply and sparsely and may underwhelm on initial listen.

However, I encourage you to give these hymns additional listens and the project will grow on you with each listen. I would also recommend you have the lyrics to these hymns in front of you as you listen to this beautiful recording.Below are a few comments about each of the eleven songs:For the Beauty of the Earth – This Eucharistic hymn was written in 1864 by Folliott S. It begins beautifully with woodwinds, then Groves’ vocal and then piano is added.

Many will be familiar with the chorus:Lord of all, to Thee we raiseThis our hymn of grateful praiseFairest Lord Jesus – This hymn, also known as “Beautiful Savior”, has a long and unconfirmed history. The lyrics we are familiar with are most likely from an 1873 translation by Joseph A. The song begins with acoustic guitar. Groves’ vocal is then joined with light drums, pedal steel guitar and backing vocals. Key lyric:Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purerThan all the angels heaven can boastPraise to the Lord – The lyrics to this hymn were written in German by Joachim Neander in 1680. Catherine Winkworth translated them into English in 1863. This was my favorite hymn growing up.

This version features a choir providing backing vocals.Abide with Me – This hymn was written by Scottish Anglican Henry Francis Lyte in 1847 as he was dying from tuberculosis. He would die just three weeks after its completion. It is most often sung to English composer William Henry Monk’s tune “Eventide”. This version features piano, banjo, pedal steel guitar and backing vocals.

Key lyric: In life and death, Lord, abide with meThe Love of God – This hymn was written by Frederick M. Lehman in 1917, based on a Jewish poem titled Haddamut. This song starts with Groves accompanied by acoustic guitar and light backing vocals. As the song moves to verse two, she is joined by piano, bass and then a choir. Key lyric:O love of God, how rich and pureHow measureless and strongThe Song of Blessing – Groves sings this short song with a choir, backed by acoustic guitar, piano and banjo.What a Friend – This song has Groves singing to her redeemer about what a friend he is over piano, acoustic guitar and light backing vocals. Key lyric:Nearer, draw nearerTill my soul is lost in YouTo the Dawn – This beautiful song is based on Henry Burton’s 19 th century poem “There’s a Light Upon the Mountains” with a refrain based on Isaiah 9:2.

“All who walk in the dark have seen a great light”. The song begins with piano and strings. Then guitar, percussion, pedal steel guitar and backing vocals are added.Tis So Sweet – The lyrics to the hymn “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” were written by Louisa M.R.

Stead in 1882. The music was written by William J.

This version begins with some likeable percussion, and then adds acoustic guitar, backing harmonies and a good mandolin solo. A highlight.Lead on O King Eternal – This hymn was written Ernest Shurtleff upon request of his classmates for their graduation ceremony at Andover Seminary in 1887. The song begins with piano, with backing vocals and light drums added.He’s Always Been Faithful – This song originally appeared on Groves’ 2001 debut album Conversations. The song incorporates the hymn “Great Is Your Faithfulness”, the lyrics of which were written by Thomas Chisholm in 1923, and the music composed by William Runyan that same year. The song features piano, upright bass and woodwinds. Groves estimates that she has played the song in concert well over a thousand times.

A highlight.Resurrection Letters, Volume 1 – Andrew Peterson.Ten years ago, Andrew Peterson, one of our most respected singer/songwriters, was working on an album that he says was more or less on the resurrection of Jesus. As he started working on the songs, he realized that they actually were more about the way Jesus’ resurrection plays out in our lives rather than the resurrection itself. So, the album was creatively titled Resurrection Letters, Vol. 2.This year, Peterson finally began work on Vol. 1 with producer Ben Shive, who also produced Vol. 2, ten years ago. But Peterson felt it would be odd to write about Jesus’s victory over death without spending time writing about his death itself.

That led to an EP, Resurrection Letters: Prologue. See my review.Now it is time for Resurrection Letters, Vol. And it has been worth the wait. A Deluxe Edition version includes Resurrection Letters: Prologue. Below are a few brief comments about each song on this wonderful collection from one of our best songwriters.His Heart Beats – This joyful song is about our Lord waking up, coming back to life in the grave. It begins with a drum beat that sounds like a heartbeat.

It includes piano, drum, acoustic guitar and backing vocals. The Lamb of God slain for us is a lion ready to roar. His work is already done, he has defeated death, the final enemy, and the grave. Death no long has dominion over him. He took one breath and put death to death.

The song includes the chorus of the much-loved Matthew Bridges 1851 hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns”.Key lyric: The blood that brought us peace with God is racing through his veins.Risen Indeed – This is a song that Peterson wrote in 2009 on the Resurrection Letters Volume 2 tour and was saving to record for Resurrection Letters Vol. The song begins with piano and builds with base and drum.

He sings of Peter racing to the tomb and then of Jesus speaking Mary’s name. Abraham could not have dreamed of how all of those promises would be fulfilled in Jesus.Key lyric: He is not dead; he is risen, risen indeed.Remember Me – This song was written by Ben Shive to help himself and his church remember Jesus one Good Friday. There are references to familiar scripture passages throughout. The chorus is based on words spoken by the thief on the cross who came to faith in Christ. “Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom.” The uses a creative drum beat throughout, as well as piano and backing vocals.I’ve Seen Too Much – This song is from the perspective of Peter. He knows it sounds crazy, but he knows what he saw. He saw Jesus die and be laid in the tomb.

He’s seen too much to deny Jesus. Though the faithful have been scattered and he is tired and doubt has crept in, he can’t deny what he knows to be true.

The song echoes Peter in John 6:68 when he said to Jesus “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life”. The song opens with piano, percussion, acoustic guitar and then builds.Remember and Proclaim – This upbeat song about celebrating the Lord’s Supper features some nice guitar work, light percussion and backing vocals. As we gather around the table, break the bread and drink the wine, we remember and proclaim his death until he comes again. Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.Maybe Next Year – This song was inspired by Peterson’s recent trip to the Western Wall, or Wailing Wall, in Jerusalem. It begins and ends with voices based on what we might hear at the Wailing Wall, and features piano, light percussion, accordion, keys, backing vocals and a guitar solo.

Jesus never felt so real to him. He never felt so close to him. We’ll meet in the New Jerusalem someday, maybe next year.Rise Up – This encouraging song is written by Ben Shive. It begins with piano and light percussion and then builds, featuring strings. Await, await the day of His return.

Every stone that makes you stumble, every sad seduction and every clever lie will be crushed by the King of Love one day.Key lyric:‘Cause He will rise up in the end.He will rise up in the end.I know you need a savior,And He is patient in his anger,But He will rise up in the end.Is He Worthy? – It is rare when that song comes along and from the first listen you know that it is special. That’s was the case with this song, the first song released from the album.

Peterson has written that “the chorus is taken from that staggering moment in Revelation 5 when the prophet asks, “Is anyone worthy to break the seal and open the scroll?” He looks around, along with all the hosts of heaven, and when no one is found who is worthy to do so, he weeps bitterly. But then one of the elders says, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able.” And then the Lamb, looking as if it has been slain, appears at the center of the throne, takes the scroll and breaks the seal, and at once all the heavenly hosts sing his praises: “He is worthy!””I think this song, is destined to be a song that will be sung for years in churches around the world. The song starts with Andrew’s vocals and piano. It builds powerfully and triumphantly with strings and a choir.Key lyric:Is He worthy? Is He worthy?Of all blessing and honor and gloryIs He worthy of this?He isAll Things Together – The album ends with this worship song about Jesus.

He sings about the attributes of Jesus from Scripture. He holds all things together. The song begins with piano and light percussion and then builds with strings and backing vocals.Key lyric: He made peace by the blood of His cross.A Million Lights – Michael W. Smith.A Million Lights is one of two new albums the 60-year-old Contemporary Christian Music legend Michael W.

Smith released in February. And the two albums could not be any more different.

While Surrounded is a live worship album of originals and covers similar to his other three live worship albums, A Million Lights is an album of all new pop songs. The first nine songs reflect a new sound, leaning on synthesizers and electronic dance beats, giving the album a fresh, modern toe-tapping sound. Think of Michael W.

Smith meets Toby Mac. Smith used multi-platinum producer and songwriter Bryan Todd and songwriter Kyle Lee to help flesh out his vision for the new songs. Three of the final four songs will sound more familiar to Smith fans. I would have preferred that he continue with the new sound all the way through the album, but I give him a lot of credit for experimenting and taking chances with a more current sound for most of the album. While at first, the new sound was hard to adjust to (as I heard Surrounded first), the songs on A Million Lights grew on me with each repeated listen.

So, if the album’s new sound puts you off at first, give it a chance. The theme of the album is on unity and reconciliation in our divided society, so the uplifting lyrics are filled with hope.Below are a few comments about each song:A Million Lights – This song is written by Kyle Lee and Smith and was the album’s first single. The song is musically interesting, opening with piano and building with backing vocals and synths.

It is a celebration of God’s creation, as all of the stars are singing for Him.Conversation – This song is written by Bryan Todd, Jason Walker and Smith. The song has an infectious beat and is about bringing reconciliation and unity to the division in our culture. It features a dance beat and hand clap. He wants to talk, and to hear what others are saying. Key lyric:One by one we’re separatedWhat I thought was love just looked like hatredI’ve been losing myself trying to prove You wrongAnd right now all I know is I can’t go onSo I’m stepping across all the lines I’ve drawnSomething in My Heart – This song is written by Bryan Todd, Jason Walker and Smith. It is likeable musically, featuring upbeat dance music, but it is a little light and repetitive lyrically. If not for God, he would never move.

God wakes something in his heart.Footsteps – This song is written by Chris Davenport, Jason Walker and Smith. It is immediately likeable with a dance beat and finger snaps. The song is about complete dependence in following God’s guidance in life. Key lyric: But as long as I can see Your footsteps, I’m alright.Your Love – This song is written by Kyle Lee and Smith. Style wise this song starts with a more Smith sound and then quickly builds with electronic dance beats. The song is about God’s wonderful endless love.

Key lyric:With trembling hands and an empty breathYou saw the struggle and You cast the netsYou knew me better than I ever knew myselfAnd now the only thing that’s left is Your LoveLove Always Wins – This song is written by Thad Cockrell and Smith. The song opens with synthesized sounds and then builds with electronic drums, hand claps and gang vocal chorus. He sings of a distance between those who disagree and say that the space between them is two wide, but God’s love always wins.Crashing Waves – This song is written by Jonathan Jackson and Smith. This song opens with distorted vocals. He is broken, that’s how God found him. It is creative musically with a passionate vocal. The song ends with hope.

Key lyric:Somebody stole the pain, a thief in the night came.I’ll never be the same, You rolled this stone awayLouder – This song is written by Bryan Todd, Jason Walker and Smith. The song begins with piano and distorted vocals. It is upbeat musically and lyrically encouraging, continuing the overall theme of the album to have open and honest conversation in these divided times.Revolution – Musically, the pace slows down a bit on this song, with some use of acoustic guitar. The song is about building bridges in a world of hate and fear. There is a good use of high-range backing vocals.Hey Love – This song is written by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Smith. Musically and lyrically, this song doesn’t fit with the previous nine songs.

It is a piano driven love song, featuring the vocals of Jordan Sparks. Their voices blend well, but after the upbeat electronic dance beats, this song sticks out.

My least favorite song on the album.You Make Me Feel This Way – This song is written by Bryan Todd, Jason Walker and Smith. This song opens with acoustic guitar and features some good keyboard work. He sings in a lower register than normal.

It is upbeat and joyous with good backing vocals. The lyrics are vague enough that he could be singing to God or to his wife.Forgive – This song is written by Wes King and Smith. This song has more of a traditional Smith sound, a ballad that builds with piano, strings and backing vocals. The song is about someone who left him when he was young, breaking his heart. He is writing to say that he forgives them.Who You Are – This song has a slower pace that gradually builds.

It features piano, light drums and guitar. The theme is hope and healing of the pain. Key lyric:Give me timeI’ll heal the pain you feelGive me timeI’ll show you love that’s realI Knew You When – Bob Seger (Deluxe Edition).This is 72-year old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Bob Seger’s eighteenth studio album. It was self-produced and recorded in Detroit and Nashville and dedicated to longtime friend Glenn Frey, who died in 2016. The album cover features a mid-60’s photo of Seger. Some of the songs were written and originally recorded several years ago.I saw Seger in concert with the Silver Bullet Band back at the now defunct Poplar Creek Music Theatre near Chicago in the summer of 1980 and have enjoyed his music ever since.

Here are a few brief comments about each of the songs:Gracile – The album opens strong with this rocker, featuring excellent guitar, including a nice solo, bass, drums and backing vocals. This song is a about a woman. She’s a winner, her body is gracile (slender, thin, graceful), and she’s in control.Busload Of Faith – This song was written by Lou Reed and appeared on his 1989 album New York. It was the first single released from the new album. Seger changed some of the lyrics, substituting “You can’t depend on the President” for Reed’s “You can’t depend on the churches”. It’s an upbeat song with horns, a guitar solo and gospel-like backing vocals.The Highway – This rocker is driven by guitar and a drum beat. It features a strong vocal by Seger, backing vocals, some of which sounds like an uncredited Bruce Springsteen, and a guitar solo.

In a world of phony prophets, he’s packing up his gear, getting out of here and heading for the highway.I Knew You When – This song has the feel of some of Seger’s biggest hits. It is a mid-tempo song featuring piano and backing vocals. The song dates back to 1997 and was considered for his Face the Promise album. It has Seger looking back to memories of a “glorious long ago”. He’s singing to someone who was always a friend.I’ll Remember You – This is a powerful guitar driven ballad, that also features piano. Seger delivers a passionate vocal, and is backed by strong backing vocals. He has some regrets and wishes he had the words to take it all away.

The song was originally considered for his 2014 album Ride Out.The Sea Inside – Seger has described this song as being “very Led Zeppelin”. It features heavy guitars, including a few solos and strong drums. The song is about moving away from earthly things, being free at last, leaving the past behind, charting a new course and sailing the sea inside you.

I’m not sure what that means exactly, perhaps some type of meditation technique. The song was originally considered for his 2014 album Ride Out.Marie – This ballad features piano, drums, acoustic guitar and backing vocals. I had a hard time figuring out this song, directed to a Marie, who he encourages to stay free. He is going to follow her down for a while. He sings that not much has changed in 5,000 years.Runaway Train – This is an up-tempo rocker, first recorded in 1993 for his album It’s a Mystery.

It has a driving beat, strong vocal, excellent guitar and sax solos and good backing vocals. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, or where he’s going. He’s like a runaway train. Is there a reason he’s on this road or is it random?Something More – This song dates back to 2001. It’s a power ballad with guitar, strong drum beat, sax and guitar solos and backing vocals.

He asks the important question “Is that all you want or is there something more?”Democracy – This song was written by Leonard Cohen and included on his 1992 album The Future. It features military style drumming, guitar, synth and backing vocals. Democracy is coming to the USA. Key lyric: I love the country but I can’t stand the scene. And I’m neither left or right, I’m just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.Forward Into The Past – This rocker dates back to 1999. The song is driven by guitar, including a solo, and heavy drum beat, with piano and backing vocals. Rural towns are drying up as everyone is heading to the city, taking jobs with big corporations, too tired to make a stand.

There are references to bailouts and Wall Street. Hometowns are nearly empty, as are schools and churches, as everyone has left to go to the city. That whole way of life is fading fast.Blue Ridge – This up-tempo rocker is an ode to the history and beauty of the Appalachian Mountains.

This song dates back to 1997 and was a candidate for his Face the Promise album. The song is drum-driven and features keys, a guitar solo and backing vocals.Glenn Song – This beautiful acoustic ballad is about Seger’s 50-year friendship with the Eagles’ Glenn Frey. Seger originally posted the song on his website on January 16, the one-year anniversary of Frey’s death.Key lyric:You were strongYou were sharpBut you had the deepest heartYou showed the whole world what we knewThere was no one quite like youSurrounded by Michael W.

Smith.Michael W. Smith has been a leader in the Contemporary Christian Music industry since his debut album in 1983, about the entire length of my Christian life. In addition to his pop albums, the talented artist has released several live worship and Christmas albums, along with a few instrumental albums, two albums of hymns, and even wrote music for Steve Taylor’s The Second Chance, a film he starred in. His 2001 album Worship has sold in excess of 2 million copies and the 2002 Worship Again has sold in excess of 1 million copies.

He has won three Grammy Awards and an incredible 45 Dove Awards. Now 60 years old, Smith shows he is not slowing down. Surrounded, his second album to be released this month, and twenty-fifth overall, is a live worship album recorded during an in-the-round performance November 2, 2017 at the Factory in Franklin, Tennessee.Smith has said that the idea of doing another live worship project has been something he has been thinking about for a while.

He feels God calling His Church together, every nation, every tribe, tongue, social class and denomination.Like his other worship albums, the songs here are a mix of originals and covers. My only critique would have been for Smith to include more originals. If you have enjoyed Smith’s previous worship albums, you’ll enjoy this one as well.Here are a few thoughts about each song on this excellent album.Your House – This song is written by Smith.

It is an upbeat and joyful song that reminds me of a Chris Tomlin like sound – drums, guitar, piano, backing vocals. It’s an excellent start to the worship experience. Key lyric: We come into Your house with thanksgiving and praise all for Your name.Light to You – This song is written by Smith. The song starts slowly, picking up triumphantly in the bridge. To the farthest horizon, God is there, He’ll find me. Key lyric: Even the darkness is light to You.King of My Heart – This song is written by John Mark McMillan and Sarah McMillan, and has been covered by a number of artists such as Bethel Music and Kutless.

The song builds powerfully. God is good and He will never let us down.Reckless Love – This song is written by Cory Asbury, Caleb Culver and Ran Jackson and has been covered by several artists. The song, about the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, begins with piano and then slowly builds, running nearly nine minutes in length.Here I Bow – This song is written by Jason Ingram, Matt Redman, Jonas Myrin, Brian Johnson and Jenn Johnson. It begins with light guitar and then builds with piano and backing vocals. Key lyric: So here I bow, to lift You high, Jesus, be glorified in all things, for all my life. I am Yours, forever Yours.Miracles – This song is a cover of a Jesus Culture song, written by Stuart Garrard, Dustin Smith, Joshua Silverberg and Chris Quilala. The song starts slowly and then powerfully builds, running nearly nine minutes in length.

It includes some lyrics sung in Spanish. Key lyric: I believe in You, You’re the God of miracles.Do It Again – This is a cover of an Elevation Music song, written by Steven Furtick, Matt Redman, Mack Brown and Chris Brown.

The song starts slowly and then builds powerfully in the bridge. God has never failed us. Key lyric: I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains, and I believe, I’ll see You do it again.Surrounded (Fight My Battles) – This song is written by Elyssa Smith. It is simple lyrically, pretty much repeating the lines “This is how I fight my battles” and “It may look like I’m surrounded but I’m surrounded by You”. It is triumphant song, with the music and backing vocals building powerfully.Build My Life – This song is written by Pat Barrett, Matt Redman, Brett Younker, Kirby Kaple and Karl Martin and has been recorded by Christy Nockels. It begins with some effective percussion, and includes piano and backing vocals. Jesus is worthy and we live for Him.

Key lyric: I will build my life upon Your love, it is a firm foundation.Washed Away – This song is written by Smith. This song begins with piano and builds powerfully with backing vocals about the joy that the believer has knowing that their sins washed away by the blood of Jesus. The song incorporates the classic hymn “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus”.Great Are You Lord – This song was written by Jason Ingram, David Leonard and Leslie Jordan and has been recorded by All Songs and Daughters and others. The song starts with piano and slowly builds. Key lyric: It’s Your breath in our lungsSo we pour out our praise.Light to You (Reprise) – The album closes with a reprise of the earlier “Light to You”. Key lyric: Even the darkness is light to you.Resurrection Letters: Prologue.Ten years ago, Andrew Peterson, one of our most respected singer/songwriters, was working on an album that he says was more or less on the resurrection of Jesus.

As he started working on the songs, he realized that they actually were more about the way Jesus’s resurrection plays out in our lives rather than the resurrection itself. So, the album was creatively titled Resurrection Letters, Vol.

2.This year, Peterson finally began work on Vol. 1 with producer Ben Shive, who also produced Vol. 2, ten years ago. But Peterson felt it would be odd to write about Jesus’s victory over death without writing about his death itself.

That led to this recording, which he humorously has called the prequel to the prequel. Got all that?Volume 1 will be out soon. For this release, Peterson has written ““The five songs on Prologue are meant to be a sort of fast, opening with the last words of Jesus on the cross and ending with his interment in the tomb.

May they’ll be a good reminder of the hard road Jesus walked in order to make the world new.”Let’s look at the excellent EP, Resurrection Letters: Prologue, which is superbly written and performed:Last Words (Tenebrae) – This beautiful song driven by piano, light percussion and backing vocals, focuses on Jesus’s last words on the cross, beginning with, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do”. The vocals are layered and build powerfully throughout the song. Ending with “Father into your hands I commit my spirit”.Well Done, Good and Faithful – This song features piano and light percussion. It takes the listener through the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross, through his cries and groans when his Father turned away from him. The chorus is based on Hebrews 12:2 which reads in part “who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Jesus finished his work, well, good and faithful, reminding us of the servant in Matthew 25:23.The Ninth Hour – This is a beautiful instrumental featuring strings and piano.

Mark 15:33 states “And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.”Always Good – This intimate song to Jesus is driven by acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Jesus, who laid down his life and suffered for us, knows what we are feeling. Somehow His sorrow is shaping our hearts like it should, as we try to believe what is not meant to be understood.

It’s hard to know what He is doing. Help us to trust that His intentions for us are still good. Maybe the answer surrounds us, but we don’t have the eyes to see that He’s always good.God Rested – The EP ends with this song about Jesus’s body being taken down from the cross and being buried in the tomb of a rich man.

Pilate had no peace during this time. Peterson creatively connects God’s work in creation with Jesus’s work. “Six days shall you labor, the seventh is the Lord’s. In six He made the earth and all the heavens, but He rested on the seventh.” He worked till it was finished (Matthew 19:30).

God blessed the seventh day. The song is driven by piano, drums, synth and backing vocals.Peterson has stated that his hope is that the listener would use these five songs during Lent and Holy Week to dwell on the terrible road Jesus had to walk in order to conquer not just sin, but the grave.Meditate on these songs as you prepare your heart to celebrate the Lord’s resurrection.Andrew will be one of the speakers at the Conference September 10-12 in Nashville.One More Song by Ashley Cleveland.The first time I saw three-time Grammy winner Ashley Cleveland was outdoors at the Cornerstone Musical Festival years ago. I was blown away by this guitar playing artist with a powerful bluesy voice who reminded me of Bonnie Raitt. I would see her several more times over the years, including a few times playing her heart out for a small group of people at the Jesus House, a local inner-city mission in the community I live in. I’m convinced that she is one of rock music’s most under-appreciated talents.This is her tenth album, and it is produced by husband and guitarist Kenny Greenberg. The album cover was painted by Jimmy Abegg.

Cleveland wrote 6 of the 11 songs on the album. She has stated that all of the songs are very autobiographical. The songs travel along themes of addiction recovery and loss, loving – or attempting to love – those who are different from her, her children becoming adults and leaving home, aging and the joy and solace of her faith and the struggle to live it out in a broken world. Cleveland is working on a documentary titled Who’s the Girl, which will feature some of these songs. Below are a few comments on each song, all of which feature Cleveland’s powerful vocals and Greenberg’s excellent guitar work:Way Out of No Way – This song was written by Cleveland.

The Mountain Ben Cantelon

It’s a strong opener featuring powerful vocals and excellent guitar work from Greenberg. It’s an autobiographical song about her start in music, drinking and her need for a Savior.Down by the Riverside – This arrangement from Cleveland features acoustic and electric guitars, including an excellent solo, organ, drums and backing vocals. Key lyric: I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, I’m gonna study, study, war no moreCrooked Heart – This is a slower, reflective acoustic song written by Cleveland, Rachel Yellen and Jameson Fuller. It begins with acoustic guitar and includes some light electric guitar. Key lyric: I love my crooked neighbor with my crooked heart.Lily Grown Wild – This song is written by Cleveland about her youngest child leaving home. This guitar driven song has a Rolling Stones vibe to it (Ashley has previously covered the band’s song “Gimme Shelter”). The song is about children becoming adults and the struggle of learning to let go.

A definite highlight.Take Me to the Water/Cool Down by the Banks of Jordan – This arrangement from Cleveland includes her powerful vocals, acoustic guitar and organ. It starts slowly and as it transitions to “Cool Down by the Banks of Jordan”, where Jesus is going to meet us there.

Ben Cantelon Songs

Driven by Greenberg’s guitar, you’ll not be able keep still. Features an excellent guitar solo.Halfway Down – This song is written by Jim Lauderdale and was made popular by country artist Patty Loveless in 1995. It includes keys, bass, guitar, including a couple of solos, and organ. Key lyric: Halfway down, just a getting started, Yes, I’m beginning on my journey now.To Be Good – This is a slower, reflective acoustic song written by Cleveland and Winston Yellen. It begins with acoustic guitar and includes some light drums and electric guitar, with a mid-song solo. It is a reflection of the end of one’s life.

Key lyric: All I ever wanted was to be good.Ezekiel 2 – This song was written by Cleveland and Phil Keaggy. “Ezekiel” appeared on Phil Keaggy’s excellent 2016 album All at Once. On that bluesy rocker, Ashley sang a duet with Phil, their voices blending well. Both that song and “Ezekiel 2” are about the valley of dry bones from chapter 37 of the book of Ezekiel. “Ezekiel 2” is faster, with Ashley’s powerful vocal and Greenberg providing some excellent guitar work, including a nice solo.One More Song – This song, written by Cleveland is based on a story that Cleveland’s mother told her on a trip to the Smokey Mountains to see their old cabin for the last time.

Jackman, with his Broadway experience, is excellent in his portrayal of Barnum. He is joined on this song by Zac Efron, Zendaya and Keala Settle.A Million Dreams – This song is initially sung by Ziv Zaifman as a young Barnum and then shifts to the adult Barnum with Jackman and Michelle Williams singing. In the film, the song is sung as we see a flashback in which Barnum, a young and impoverished tailor’s son, played by Ellis Rubin, first meets the privileged but sweet Charity, played by Skylar Dunn. We see them fall in love, but Charity’s father tells P.T. To stay away from his daughter, who is then sent away to a boarding school.
