Passion - Sacred Revolution

My first Passion! CD..

I have played this one over and over in the year since I bought it. It is a great introduction to Passion! and a wonderful praise and worship CD that leads me to deeper levels with the Lord every time I hear it. It's a revolution, can you feel it? It's a revolution cry! :-) March 1, 2005

One of the best worship cd's available

The Passion cd's keep raising the bar for Christian praise and worship music. The 13 songs recorded live on this cd project a spiritual earnestness that only comes by much prayer prior to the music being played and sung. Passion's music, more than any other I think, draws one into the spirit of Worship and turns one's focus to God.

With several leaders singing the songs, there is not a focus on any person or star. The focus of the cd is on the Lord. The songs offer great upbeat music and variety. They keep the listener focused on the message. You can really experience the excitement of that "one-day" event where this was recorded.

I have four Passion cd's, and I think this one rates at the top. It is like a great book that I can't put down. I want to continually listen to it and get caught up in the Praise that glorifies Jesus.

Thanks and congratulations to the Passion team that comes together each year to bless us with wonderful music. December 22, 2004

Songs of Praise.

I've heard a great deal about the Passion albums, but until recently, never took the time to invest in one. I chose PASSION: SACRED REVOLUTION because it contains several songs by David Crowder (e.g. "O Prais Him (All This For a King)") and Matt Redman's "Blessed Be Your Name". When you look at Christian music, especially praise music, there aren't too many artists out there who are willing to leave the familiar confines of mediocrity and go out on a ledge to write and create something new. Most of the artists involved with Passion are some of the few who are rising above the addiction to mediocrity. PASSION: SACRED REVOLUTION is not they typical 'praise and worship' album. Instead, it's almost like an experience in itself. A few of the songs are old hymns, such as "O Come Let Us Adore Him". These songs do not dilute the spirit of the album, but instead add to it: I've always said the old hymn writers knew how to write music that mattered. My favorite songs on the album are:

"O Praise Him (All This For A King)"

"Blessed Be Your Name"

"Revolution Cry"

"Not To Us"

I highly recommend this album to anyone who is looking for some serious praise music to listen to. Who knows, it could start a revolution. September 13, 2004

Decent passion album, not as strong as previous ones

As a big fan of the previous Passion albums, I was somewhat disappointed with this one. The line-up of artists is great - David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, and Charlie Hall to name a few. But, the songs just are not that strong.

I like the David Crowder Band songs, and a few of the slower ones. But, other than that most of the album falls flat for me. The female vocalists oversing their songs, and even one of my favorite Matt Redman songs, "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord" is not that great.

Simply put, I would not recommend this Passion cd. The earlier ones are better. If you are new to the Passion movement, start with something like "Our love is loud" instead of this one. Hopefully, the next release is better. August 6, 2004

Glimpse of heaven

Having to come back from Passion's thirsty conference (April 2004), I still reflect on those awesome moments of worship where I have tasted and seen a glimpse of heaven. I will never forget those times of worship in my "entire" life!!! Nothing beats the presence of the Lord! This CD will allow you to experience just that. This is a great CD if you want to listen to the best songs of Passion singers (Charlie Hall, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, and David Crowder). This is also an ideal gift for friends who like variety of praise songs and singing styles. July 22, 2004
