CD Review: Modern Pioneers (Song of David)
“When Love comes to town, He brings hope and joy and laughter. When Love comes to town, He gives the brokenhearted peace.” Those lyrics sum up what we’re celebrating this weekend, doesn’t it. Because Christ arose, He is still bringing hope and joy and laughter. He is still giving the brokenhearted peace. He still moves mountains and pours out His grace because He lives! This uptempo song opens the new CD from Song of David.
David Bryan then put together a progressive version of Dottie Rambo’s song, “The Holy Hills.”
The tempo then slows down for “Water in the Wilderness.”
Next is the title song: “Modern Pioneers” which talks about our pilgrimage to Heaven.
“The Sound of the Sun (Going Down)” has a country feel which tells how “When I get over-burdened, I just pause to listen to the sound of the sun going down.” It is possible to find peace in the midst of the storm.
“One Step (at a Time)” has a Crabb Family sound. Sometimes God asks us to just take one step at a time and let Him lead the way.
“When I Leave it in Your Hands” was written by Ann Downing and Dwight Lyle. The greatest peace really does come from leaving it in God’s hands.
“Angels Watching” is a great reminder that we always have angels watching over us. We have nothing to fear.
Ashley Cook Mackey joins David in singing “This Storm.” “Don’t let this storm go to waste.” This is a prayer of mine often. If I must go through storms, I pray they accomplish God’s purposes.
“Power in His Name” begins by talking about Jesus’ birth. Then it talks about today, if you are going through trials, there is still power in Jesus’ name. “Over mountains, through valleys, in the city or on the plains … when the world needs a miracle, there’s power in His name.” It then breaks into a chorus of “Crown Him Lord of All.” A great song.
Five of the ten songs on this CD were written by David who is very gifted at writing. I realize this may be too progressive for some people but I was impressed with the songs and the heart with which he sings. His style took me back to the days of listening to the group Harvest.
David bryan is a very dynamic vocalist and sings with passion and is annointed. All this and not to mention he is an awesome evangelists with a great attitude and personality. I promise this CD will minister to you! Do yourself a favor and buy one.
I totally agree, Pat. Thank you for the comment.
