Review

A full hour sharing the breadth and length of God's profound love from Scripture and great Christian writers describes the energy of their 3rd album, Held by Love by Songs In His Presence. Powerful and prayerful songs are performed by 6 vocal soloists, choir, and fifteen instrumentalists in richly textured and appealing musical styles from Latin/rock to folk, pop, and even baroque. The songs of the five composers in Held by Love draw from the deepest wells of the Christian life. You will find them a fresh invitation to become humble and open and make a space for Christ. As this sixteenth-century monk St. John of the Cross taught, we go to the fragile place, to the place of our need; it is Christ who is waiting there. On the cover of Held by Love are two hearts, one being held by the other, both sharing a tiny branch of thorns. This is an image of the love between God and the beloved (us) and a gentle reminder of sufferings shared. Held by Love opens with three songs of unabashed joy in Gods fatherly love: The mood of the music deepens with the captivating fourth and fifth songs. The heart of the message of this CD is discovered in its beautiful and inspiring middle tracks; our response of gratitude, surrender, emptying, and death to self. Following the heat-intense "Living Flame," the album takes us through several songs which draw us into intimate communion and abiding in Jesus, including the tender "What Costly Love." It draws to an energetic close with two songs heralding our call to be the Body of Christ, bearing his love to the world. Held by Love closes with a prayerful Celtic instrumental. Superbly arranged and edited, Held by Love is among the best of quality uplifting contemporary Christian music with proven appeal for all ages. You'll have a hard time picking just one favorite song or singer on this CD. Held by Love Songbooks are available from the publisher.
