For over 30 years, Sovereign Grace Music's mission has been to provide Christ-exalting songs and training for local churches, defining their ministry as "Sound+Doctrine." The team's 2014 release, Sooner Count the Stars, is an album that worships a triune God and celebrates the grace, love, and fellowship we find as we draw close to Him. "As we wrote the songs for this album," they share, "we wanted to inspire gratefulness and wonder that the Father has joined us to Himself through the substitutionary sacrifice of His Son and sent His Spirit to open our eyes to His love. We pray that's what happens as you listen to and sing these songs."
"Cling to Christ" is a modern hymn that encourages worshipers to hold to the only One who can satisfy. It rejoices in Jesus' intercession with the Father on our behalf and the way He calls us to Him when we stray, showing us His forgiveness and love. The song points out that even as we place Him before all else in this world, we can have the assurance that He is the One who holds tightly to us and will never let us go. The album's title track, "Sooner Count the Stars" recognizes that it is impossible to adequately describe the extent of all that God has done for us for His goodness and mercy are far greater than any of us could ever fathom. Reflecting a heart that is full of awe and gratitude, it proclaims, "No praise is high enough, no thanks is deep enough, No life is long enough to tell of all You’ve done. No shout is loud enough, no words are strong enough, No song is sweet enough to sing Your love." "Blessed Assurance" is a new version of Fanny Crosby's classic hymn, utilizing the original lyrics in the bridge and chorus while introducing new verses and an original melody. The song testifies of the price Jesus paid for our sins and it holds to His grace, praying that we might retain a strong faith in Him until we are face to face with Him for all eternity.
