Ben Cantelon is a UK-based songwriter and worship leader well known for his work with Soul Survivor and Worship Central. Today, we are pleased to let you know that the MultiTracks are available from his brand new EP entitled The Ascent, Vol. 1. "My hope and prayer is that these songs will bring people closer to Jesus," Ben shares. "It's also acknowledging that it's a journey and that it can be a challenge and hard at times and that's ok. When we are in those hard times, it's so important get close to Him and to pursue His presence. For its in His presence that we find life to the fullest and strength for the journey!"
"Not By Might" reminds us that God is in control of all things and that we can rely on Him for He has overcome and in our weakness, He is strong. The chorus utilizes the words of Zechariah 4:6 as it shares this powerful truth, "Not by might, not by power, by My spirit says the lord for our God, He has overcome. Not by strength, not by sight, it’s by faith we come alive for our God, He has overcome!" "Mightier" explores a similar theme as it proclaims the incredible might of our God, praising, "You are stronger than wildest storm, greater than the thunder's roar, forever mightier. You are higher than the endless waves, far above it all You reign, forever mightier." Ben co-wrote "Simple Pursuit" with Nick Herbert, Matt Redman and Sam Bailey and it was then introduced by worship leader Melodie Malone on the latest Passion album, Salvation's Tide is Rising. The song is a plea for God to bring us back to the place where we first encountered Him that our hearts might feel the same passion and desire as when we first made the decision to follow Him. It worships with great adoration as it declares our desire for "Nothing and no one comes close to You, nothing could ever come close. Nothing and no one, it's You and You only. Nothing could ever come close."
The Ascent, Vol. 1 is now available on iTunes! Check out all the songs from this new EP - download your copy today.
