This past Sunday Night Chris Tomlin released his latest album: “Love Ran Red.”
Those who know me well know that I’m a huge Tomlin fan. His music has had a tremendous impact on my life & ministry. I have had the chance to meet him once or twice & I’ll always be grateful for that. So don’t be surprised when I say that I love this CD as well. Truthfully, he could sing the phone book & I would write a favorable review. Just being honest!
On a more serious note, here’s what I love about his music, & specifically this CD as I’ve lived with it for the past 36 hours or so.
- Once again it’s filled with scripture. I love that Tomlin’s music is anchored in scripture. He brings the Word to life through his ability to craft melody & harmony.
- These songs are centered squarely on Jesus. You can’t sing these songs without singing the name of Jesus. Without encountering the cross & worshiping there at your Savior’s feet.
- These songs are easy for the church to sing. In my opinion Chris may be the closet thing we have to a modern day David, writing great songs for the church. As soon as you hear it you can sing along & it quickly feels like a song you’ve known all your life. What a gift.
If you haven’t had a chance, give it a listen. Maybe you & I will have a chance to sing some of these songs together soon. I’d love that. You can get it here: http://bit.ly/1wHu4CB
