VINEYARD (Playlist Series) - I STAND IN AWE

[SaintLewis]

These past few years the Vineyard Music Group has delivered some VERY impressive new worship compilations (Dwell, Sweetly Broken, & More than Ever LIVE), from which I've harvested no less than 14 songs for regular use in various corporate worship environments, not even mentioning Jeremy Riddle's incredible Full Attention, a solo-worship effort that stands alongside the best releases by Redman, Tomlin, and Crowder. Well, I'm excited to announce that the Vineyard has just added a new release to it's excellent PLAYLIST, I Stand in Awe, and a new Club Vineyard Release (samples of songs that may show up on later Vineyard releases - where I found 'Sweetly Broken' a few years ago) called Fascinated. I'm already considering no less that 5 songs from I Stand in Awe for introduction at our INSIDE OUT Youth services (some of these songs I've heard on past Club Vineyard releases) - "Saving Grace" is a driving mid-tempo anthem that's easy to sing along with but not overly-simplistic; "Christ is Exalted" is a lovely, beautifully melodic female led ballad-anthem that just makes me want to lean my head back and sing loudly towards the sky; "I am Changed" is all groove; and "God of All Glory", though not quite as powerful as "Sweetly Broken", contains all of the things that made "Sweetly Broken" so good. Anyway, this is all just to say - I'm excited. I encourage all who are interested in edgy, passionate, powerful contemporary praise & worship music to check this one out. Thank you, Vineyard Music Group - please keep'em coming!

Stand In Awe probebly won't be considered as the best Vineyard recording to date but it is a very good CD. It features many of the artists we have come to love from Vineyard and some very good new songs and a few that have been recorded before. My 2 favorites are Alleluia (More Than Worthy) and God Of All Glory.

Alleluia (More Than Worthy) -Sheri Carr
Saving Grace- Steve Jones
Stand In Awe- Jeremy Riddle
Christ Is Exalted- Jan L'ecuyer
God Of All Glory- Jeremy Riddle
All I Have- Charlie Hines
As It Is In Heaven- Tony Sanchez
I Am CHanged- Sheri Carr
Throne Of Grace- Charlie Hines
With All Of My Heart- Tony Sanchez
Our God Is Good- Steve Jones

It's definitely (as you can tell by my earlier review) one of my favorites...the more I listen, then less I can name a favorite song.

Currently I'm absolutely loving "I am Changed", "Saving Grace", "Stand in Awe", "God of All Glory", "All I Have", "Christ is Exalted", and the new version of the classic "Throne of Grace". I also really like "With all of my Heart", "Alleluia", & "Our God is Good". That leaves only one song that doesn't really move me: "As it is in Heaven" - it's not bad, but just doesn't 'capture' me, if you know what I mean.

In my not so humble opinion, that is a 'classic'. Lovin' it!
