Through This Veil, Vol 1 (7 song EP) OFFICIAL RELEASE: JANUARY 15, 2021
Additional Notes:
Just to mention: The graphic artwork on the physical CD is beautiful and is the inspired handiwork of David Berkley. It incorporates original horse drawing by Russian Artist: Elena Kolatusha
There can be wisdom in “owning” physical items in our age: bibles, books, and yes, CD’s. Hope to blog about this at some point. We felt it was wisdom to get these made in the window of time we are in.
THROUGH THIS VEIL, Volumes 1 and 2 …..the vision and intention
Each song in this work is intended to invite, convey, declare and/or encounter some aspect of the unfathomable riches of knowing God, and receiving the immeasurable gift He offers every person to “Come Home” to Him. It is our prayer that this music will in some way represent Him–and the unmatched beauty of Who He– our Creator, Suffering Servant and Soon Coming King truly is.
The title song and opening “Through This Veil” is a declaration of Who He is, and shall ever be: It is both a proclamation, and a prayer that “Through this Veil” (this life, our existence in this age of partial sight) “truth prevails”.
This opening prepares our hearts to “enter into His courts where ‘All Things Praise’ and simply to come and praise/worship the One Who alone is worthy.
These initial praise songs are followed–through to track 14 on Vol 2– by more intimate encounter offerings centered in themes of enjoying His presence, full surrender, the reality of spiritual warfare, and invitation of our Bridegroom King into the abundant life He offers and supplies both now and into eternity.
Each song* was birthed out of personal experience, relentless desire to know Him, and/or an unexpected download. All glory is His. The songs are intentionally ordered to follow one after the other from Track 1 (Vol 1) through Track 14 (Vol 2). This is ideally the best way to “enter in” to the true story they tell.
*Note: The final song is one familiar to many “Down in the Valley” (original title) and better known as “Down in the River”. We felt it was the perfect song to end the first 2 volumes as an invitation to all (brothers, sisters, sinners, mourners) “Let’s go down in the valley to pray”. The songs as a whole are meant to proclaim truth, extend invitation into the true family of God (Jew and Gentile) as well as prophetically warn of coming judgment. However, grace is available today–perhaps not tomorrow–but in this moment, available.
In short: There is no greater story than that of our Creator offering us forgiveness of our sins against Him: There is no one, not in need of this; and there is no other way to be reconciled to God but through the Way He alone provides. His offer: eternal life–versus eternal separation– overcoming victories, joy, hope, peace, and endless discoveries of the beauty of God that is the natural outcome of restored relationship with Him.
