New From Covenant Worship - Sand and Stars Friday, April 14, 2017 Sand and Stars is the new live worship album from Covenant Worship. It was recorded under the stars at a church retreat and contains a more organic, reflective sound with songs drawn from scripture. The album is full of strong congregational worship including the title track "Sand and Stars," which was inspired by the covenant God made to Abraham in Genesis and shares a message of God's love and legacy, "Countless as the grains of sand, I could never comprehend Your plans for me. On and on, Your love goes on and on. The One who was and is and is to come, we stand in awe and wonder." "All Things" is another powerful anthem which offers a firm declaration of God's providence, recognizing that even when we cannot see it, He is working all things for our good while "All Honor" reverently brings Him our highest exaltations and pairs nicely with Covenant Worship's special arrangement of "Doxology." Sand and Stars is now available on iTunes. Pick up your copy of this incredible new album today!

MultiTracks Available from "God That Saves" (Radio Version) by Iron Bell Music Wednesday, April 12, 2017 Iron Bell Music is passionate about cultivating a heart of adoration in believers through creating worship music that leads people into the knowledge of God. What started out in 2009 as a small worship gathering in a home has since grown to encompass hundreds of worshippers meeting together on a regular basis. Their music focuses on declaring the truth of who God is as in "God That Saves" which they recently released for radio. "God That Saves" was written by worship leader Stephen McWhirter as the result of an encounter he had in which at the height of years of addiction, he encountered the God of Zephaniah 3:17. It gives a testimony of the way Jesus found him and through His love and grace, rescued him and gave him new life. Not only does the song rejoice in the power of Jesus' saving grace, but it offers encouragement that God desires to reveal Himself as the One who can save people from every type of bondage. We invite to check out Stephen's full story here and pick up your copy of this new radio single today on iTunes.
