Elevation Worship originates from North Carolina as a segment of Elevation Church. “O Come To The Altar”, one of the band’s most popular tracks, is about bringing all you have before Jesus, and completely surrendering to Him. Their newest album, Graves Into Gardens, is a live recorded experience, sure to have you singing along.
“RATTLE!” will radically change how current worship music is viewed. The rich vocals bring so much power while the lyrics’ deep meaning pulls the song together in a beautiful way. The title of the track pulls you in and hooks you right from the start.
“Never Lost” features Tauren Wells, a soulful singer known for “Hills and Valleys”. The mixture of voices as well as instruments melds worship and christian contemporary music together. The partnership between Wells and Elevation is a very fitting duo, as shown in the fact that they both not only have concerts, but a true worship experience is found when listening to both artists.
“My Testimony” starts off with a clapping instrumental that sets the tone for the song. The lyrics of this track show a side of Christianity that is typically depicted as a hard thing to share with others. But, this song shows that it doesn’t have to be difficult, sharing your life with others is a way to share the Gospel in a more personal way.
Elevation Worship brings joy and a refreshing sound to the worship music world. Graves Into Gardens is a live album that will leave you uplifted and full of love for the Lord and others. This record is one that is good for the whole family to enjoy and discover a new type of worship experience.
