The Third Day Move

One of the staples of Christian music over the last 19 years , Third Day have just released a new album called Move. It is their 11th studio album since emerging on the scene in 1997. The success of the band has been amazing over that time . The first album exploded on the scene and they have not been slowed down at all.

Move is another solid piece of music , regardless of it falling under the name Christian. The songs are well crafted and have solid melodies through out. Mac Powell's vocals are in top form , and I would say with age ,he has become even more seasoned. Bringing that soulful , southern quality to bare on the songs.

The album kicks of off with the anthem Lift Up Your face, a call to have hope , for salvation is at hand. It more or less sets the tone for the rest of the album. From the get go you can tell that they have embraced the earlier sounds of southern rock again. Which is evident with the heavy groove on the rocker Move. Once again the album flows from mid tempo rockers to the slower anthem type songs TD is known for. The standout  one on this album is the song Trust in Jesus. Its very bold lyrics declaring that on the day of judgement the only thing that will save you is Jesus Christ.

The lyrics leave little to the imagination in declaring the greatness of God , the gospel of Christ and the hope one can have regardless of the circumstances one finds your self in. One will quickly find that you will be singing and remembering the riffs and melodies . Once again an excellent fresh piece of music from this experienced band that still burns with the fire to glorify God with their gifts .
