Rebecca St. James: I Will Praise You

Rebecca St. James charts yet another new course with I Will Praise You, a new collection of worship songs she terms “ her most personal recording to date.” From the opening notes of track one, listeners are offered a welcoming connection with Rebecca’s recognizably authentic vocal warmth and delivery. More than anything, I Will Praise You represents the latest steps in Rebecca’s life long journey towards the presence of God.

In honor of her new cd release, Rebecca St. James is having a fun listening party where you can preview the new cd. The cd, I Will Praise You, is releasing today, April 5, 2011.

Rebecca St. James has a beautiful, clear, unique voice. Her love of the Lord shines through in each of the songs on the album. This contemporary Christian music has beautiful words paired with upbeat music. While the music is upbeat, it still has a calm, soothing sound – a salve to the soul. I like that each song is based upon a scripture passage (noted on the song list below). Music and words are very powerful, so I appreciate the careful thought that went into this album.

I liked Rebecca’s mission statement (in cd cover insert):

Our mission statement as a ministry team is to serve the church and point people to Jesus. We can remind each other of this at our band devotions, before our shows, and as often as we can. We pray that this album will encourage you in your journey with God and that it will draw you to worship Him! Than you for supporting this mission by being part of our ministry. ~Keep Seeking and Serving Jesus, Rebecca St. James, Ephesians 3:20~

The songs on this album include:

I Will Praise You {Hebrews 13:15}
You Never Let Go {Psalm 23:4}
Shine Your Glory Down {Isaiah 60:1}
You Still Amaze Me {Ephesians 2:8,9}
