Aaron Shust - "God Of Brilliant Lights"
Aaron describes God as Lord over all whose reign will never end. His Scripture reference for the song is James 1:17 and he says that the story behind the song started in the recording studio. Scott (Producer Ed Cash's younger brother) had written the song and Ed asked Aaron if he would listen to it. Shust says that as soon as Ed started playing it on guitar, he knew he had to record it.
From the song ...
The God of brilliant lights
Is shining down over us
Breaking through the darkness
Covering all the earth
Oooh, his love is like an ocean
Oooh, forever overflowing
The God of brilliant lights is shining over us.
Chris Tomlin - "God's Great Dance Floor"
Chris describes the song as "One of the most exciting songs I've been a part of in a good little while." When Martin Smith shared his idea for the song, Chris asked if he could use it and Martin said, "Yeah man, there's no rules. Let's do it!"
From the song ...
You’ll never stop loving us
No matter how far we run
You’ll never give up on us
All of heaven shouts: let the future begin
I feel alive, I come alive
I am alive on God’s great dance floor
Jeremy Camp - "My God"
Jeremy refers to God as the unchanging love and says that his Scripture reference when writing it was Psalm 139. He shared, "For me, it's understanding that no matter what the deep, dark pits of my heart are and the bondages I may be in, He knows. He says that it's all about surrender and knowing that our God never changes."
From the song ...
My God, You are the unchanging love
My God, Your heart sends hope from above
The great Creator, beautiful Savior
I've been redeemed
There is life now from Your victory
You are my God
You are my God
Kingdom - "God of Fire"
For the Kingdom band, based out of Destiny Christian Church in Rocklin, California, "God of Fire" is like all of their music - about ministry. They openly say, "The gospel of Jesus Christ is not our underlying message, it's our only message." This song declares that God reigns forever.
From the song ...
No fear, no doubt
Nothing can ever seperate us now
In faith we shout
Everything within me cries out
My Lord, my Lord
So let our voices arise
The King was dead, now he is alive
He reigns forever
Hearts ablaze here and now
This anthem we raise
God of fire
Passion f/ Kristian Stanfill - "The Lord Our God"
Calling God a promise maker, promise keeper and ever faithful, Kristian Stanfill and Passion bring their love of the Lord to the front and center.
From the song ...
The Lord our God is ever faithful
Never changing through the ages
From this darkness You will lead us
And forever we will say
You're the Lord our God
