For worship leader Brenton Brown, making records is not about a career, but rather a response to what God has done and how his faith has grown.
Raised in Cape Town, South Africa, this record is new to the States but much of it was previously released in the United Kingdom. Those who enjoy the worship style of Chris Tomlin will want to check out this record.
While the lyrics aren’t necessarily profound, the tunes tend to be easy to learn and appropriate for corporate worship.
“Adoration,” “Amazing God,” and “Holy” all have similar themes. I really enjoyed the great pop sensibility on “Come Let Us Return.”
“Adoration” is Brown’s expression of hope he and his wife went through following the painful loss of a stillborn baby girl. Worship can be difficult under the best of circumstances, but Brown says, “It was hard to imagine that there could ever be a happy ending. But we resolved to fall upon the Lord. We can think that ‘most’ of what we need is found in Him. Yet what brought us hope and encouragement is the fact that this life is not all there is to the story.”
