Easter Needs Some New Tunes

I love Christmas music .The hymns and the carols are magical and awe inspiring.But along with the old , many new albums have been released over the last 40 years that have added new songs and put some cool twist on old songs.

That can not be said for Easter. Yes there are many great hymns but where are the contemporary new artist or albums that celebrate the risen Lord.The fact without Christ risen , we have no faith .So where is the same new inspiration to write about this great truth.  

Well the good news is there are 2 new albums that I hope to purchase over the next few weeks . One is a new album by the Sovereign Grace Music group . The new album is simple called Risen and is comprised of all new songs focused on the what Jesus accomplished on the cross and in His resurrection. Having sampled the songs , they are a combo of both up-tempo and more reflective ballads. Sure it will be an excellent piece of music for helping focus on the message of Easter.

Another is from artist David Potter called Man of Sorrow Glorious King. This one gathers together older hymns that are cross centered and puts a bit of a new twist on them . He even adds some new verses to compliment the classics featured. It happens to feature one of my favorites , There is a Fountain . 

So it is nice to see both of them being released before Easter. The way I look at it , why should Christmas get all the good music.

[101:1] I will sing of steadfast love and justice;

to you, O LORD, I will make music.
