“Crowns down”
written by Norm Strauss is a hard rocker in the vein of Neil Young . I
don’t usually like to compare spiritual music with secular but as Ruis is quoted in the book “Thoughts on worship”, this kind of rock music
(i.e. U2 etc.) is our heritage. If I was only able to take a few CD’s to
my exile on a desert island this would be included in my backpack. This one will “Awaken the song” in your heart.
If you are familiar with the Brownsville revival in Pensacola
Florida you have heard this title track referred to as “The Year of the Favour of the Lord”. The original has a biting rock edge with searing guitar and a nice back beat. “Break dividing walls” another ‘theme’ song of revival is just one of 5 songs by Pastor David Ruis from Winnepeg Canada. I said Ruis had received the music ministry
mantle from the late great Keith Green before finding out he worked with
Keith’s widow Melody before that ministry group hooked up with YWAM
(Youth with a mission). “Let the winds blow” and “There must be more”
are highlights in this set.
Cindy Rethmeier’s “Abba Father” and “Hide me in the shelter” are also
personal favorites of mine. “Abba Father” was also recorded on her solo children’s album “I want 2 be like Jesus” also on VMG.
