Some Old Music Reviews « Cavman Considers
Devotion by the Newsboys- I expected this to be Adoration Part 2. At first I was disappointed. But I am disappointed no more. This disc is a great hybrid of Thrive and Adoration. 3 songs are by others (Blessed be Your Name, Name Above All Names & When the Tears Fall). Their version of the Matt Redman song, Blessed be Your Name, features help by Rebecca St. James. It is spunkier than other others. Taking a cue from Job, it deals with the commitment to praise God even when life is difficult. Other songs of longing are The Orphan and Landslide of Love. They put forth a ‘real-world’ Christianity. God of Nations, Name Above All Names, and Strong Tower direct our devotion to our God. This is an encouraging and enjoyable collection of songs. There are plenty of stick-in-your head lyrics, and some kickin’ music.
