Rend Collective is well known for their authentic and energetic style of worship and their fifth studio album, As Family We Go, continues the tradition of dynamic praise they have been creating since they first established themselves as a worship collective. This new project encourages believers to follow the great commission, which centers around the word, "Go." The band shares, "Part of the title comes from the fact that we always have considered ourselves less as a band, and more like a family...We pray as a family, work as a family, and do ministry as a family. But more importantly, we belong to a larger family, and that family includes you. The children of God have always been a people on the move, driven by a mission and a purpose. We aren't part of a social club, but we're given a charge from the Father: to share His love with the world."
"You Will Never Run" celebrates God's faithfulness and constancy. From the opening declaration that "You will never run away, You're forever mine. You will never run away, You're by my side" to the exaltation, "Hearts open wide, hands lifted high over the clouds up into the blue sky," the song is a joyful testimony of God's deep and boundless love. "Your Royal Blood" takes the classic hymn, "Nothing But The Blood" and gives it a new bluesy feel as it praises the power of Jesus's blood and rejoices in His victory on the cross. The chorus offers a soulful proclamation, "Your blood will never lose its power. Your blood will never lose. Your victory will stand forever. Your blood will never lose." "One and Only" takes people from creation to the day when we will stand before the throne and emphasizes Jesus's holiness at every step. With heartfelt worship and devotion, it praises, "Jesus, one and only, great and holy, we are Yours. How our hearts race at Your glory. Lord Almighty, we are Yours and Yours alone."
Mixing a nice blend of folk and rock sounds with lots of creativity and energy, this album is certain to become a favorite of worshippers everywhere in that it leads them to exalt their Savior and to share His truths with the world around them.
