A Mirror Dimly is the name of Citizens & Saints' brand new studio project. The album came about as the band worked through the dissolving of their home church, Mars Hill, and it explores the dichotomy of faith and doubt. Frontman Zach Bolen shares, "We all search for something to believe in, and A Mirror Dimly is a concept album about our search for clarity. Faith and doubt aren't exclusive to Christian belief, but relative to the nature of the human heart. To doubt God is evidence of that nature, and doubt in one thing often prompts the belief in another. So in regards to the gospel, we have to first doubt our own ability to save ourselves (acknowledging our neediness) in order to believe (have faith) that God is our only way to salvation. To believe in God is evidence of a power at work that goes beyond the bounds of human nature." Recently, we brought you the MultiTracks for "Madness," "Relent," and "Day by Day" and we are pleased to let you know that the remaining songs from the album are now available!
"Crown Him"is a passionate worship anthem that walks through Jesus' incarnation, sacrifice, and resurrection. It exalts Him as the resurrected King and magnifies Him in all His glory, worshipping, "Christ the King is Lord, crown Him. Seated on His throne, hail Him. See the Lamb adorned, praise Him. Glory in His love, praise Him." "Kids" shares the story of the way God cleansed us of our sins and adopted us as His sons and daughters. Emphasizing this identity that we have because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, the song exudes great joy as it encourages people to remember that nothing can separate us from God's love, "There's nothing better than to know we belong. We've been adopted by the father of love. Our brother suffered on the cross of grace. We are kids of grace."
