Open Heaven is a passionate collective of singers, songwriters, and musicians based out of the worship ministry of Faith Life Church in Columbus, Ohio. With progressive and ambient pop sounds mixed with the power of live worship, Open Heaven brings a refreshing and exciting experience in their debut album, Live From Faith Life Church. Worship Director Amy Freudiger shares the vision behind this new project, "This music is meant to bring a prophetic voice to churches, inspiring us all to cry out, ‘Open up, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together’ as it says in Isaiah 45:8. We believe that God has already given us an open heaven, and we are simply saying yes to what God wants to pour out. We want to come into agreement with heaven so God can move on the hearts of people.”
"Heart Beats Praise" is an energetic anthem that reminds worshippers of all of God's blessings and offers a joyful response of thankfulness and praise, "My heart beat-beats, my heart beats praise. My soul sing-sings, it sings Your name. My heart beat-beats, my heart beats praise to You, to You, to You, You are my heartbeat!" "I Stand Amazed" marvels at the incomparable majesty of God, praising His love and offering Him our full surrender, "Be the Ruler of my heart. Be the King of my dreams. Lord, I surrender my life to You. To You, to You, to You. Lord, I surrender my life to You." It blends in the classic hymn, "I Surrender All," before segueing back into a passionate declaration of amazement and surrender, which is repeated to the end. Based on Psalm 47:2-9, "God You Reign" rejoices in the God's mercy, grace, and power and proclaims His majesty with great exaltation, "God You reign. Another chance to proclaim God You reign. Another day to sing Your praise. God You reign. Heaven and earth shall fade but You remain. God You reign."
