New Birth Total Praise Choir - A New Beginning
By Cherisse Stephens
Bishop Eddie Long presents the New Birth Total Praise Choir with an offering that is sure to bless you. At the helm of production, is the talented and anointed BOND… Kevin Bond that is. Bond brings his one-of-a-kind flavor to this church choir as only he can. If you can’t make it to the house of the Lord but still want to be ministered to, then just get a copy of A New Beginning. You’ll experience the presence of the Lord in a mighty way! Here are a couple highlights from this incredible CD.
The CD begins with the voice of Bishop Eddie L. Longpreaching about Dreams! This short snippet is so powerful; it will have you asking for more. And guess what, you won’t be disappointed because the Bishop preaches throughout. I love the fact that they’ve brought the best of both worlds together - praise, worship and the Word.
It Shall Come To Pass , written by Bond and Kim McCormick, is power packed. I love the lyrics and music on this number. It’s a strong way to start after such an anointed sermonette from the Bishop. It’s hard to find quality music for church choirs lately but this offering is excellent.
Lord We Bless Your Name is nothing but rejoicing to an upbeat tempo. If you understand the power of praise and worship; then you’ll sing this tune over and over. Bond cultivates new writers on this project; Darrell Freeman co-wrote on this song.
A New Beginning has such a universal message and speaks volumes to the believer or anyone who wants to start over again. The band really brings it all together on this track. F.L.O.W. (the band’s name) consists of the very best musicians in the industry. Bond along with Derriuex Edgecombe, John Ely, Jonathan Dubose, Darrell Freeman, Ronald Jamesand the one and only Jeremy Haynes are putting it down as only they can. After hearing this number, I’m ready to begin again…
Just when you’ve enjoyed the music; here comes the Bishop; preaching like he’s gone CRAZY (in a good way). Bishop! What in the world…I can’t describe it, I just know I’m enjoying it. God Is has a funky beat that is sure to have your churches rocking on Sunday morning. KB understands ministry and delivery; he has something for everybody. The words say: God is an awesome God, God is an awesome God, God is an awesome God, He is an awesome God! Can you remember that? Thank you Kevin for writing with every church choir and praise team in mind!
