Bishop Bruce Parham’s Live CD Recording

By Richard Cox

EMTRO Gospel Recording artist Bishop Bruce Parham had a spectacular live CD/DVD recording in 2006.  The project is appropriately entitled Dwell Together.  It was held at the Harvest Life Changers Church International in Woodbridge, Virginia where the pastors are Lyle and Deborah Dukes. 

Thousands of loyal Parham fans filled the church anxiously waiting to experience his anointed music ministry.  He stated at the beginning of the recording that these songs were designed for you to have an awesome worship experience.  Opening with the title track he set an atmosphere of worship.  Six gifted backup singers (Eric Lewis, Larry Daniels, Angie White, Tenisha Harris, Inez Jennings, Trina Miller) accompanied Parham from his church, Oasis of Refreshing Ministries.

Parham continued the worship experience with Atmosphere.  This song talked about putting on your garment of praise.  After that song the tempo changed to a more upbeat pace with All Of Me, which showcased his vocal range on this uplifting cut.  We Praise You shifted gears back to a more solemn worship.  After this selection there were bursts of shouting and high praise expressed throughout the church as he gave powerful words of exhortation.

The Harvest Life Changers Mass Choir sang backup for the two Sunday morning style songs Call On Jesus and He Won’t Fail You.  Tenisha Harris contributed a soul stirring performance on Call On Jesus.  On He Won’t Fail You,  Parham ended the first half of his recording with this upbeat hand clapping song of encouragement.

For the second half of the recording, he started by singing an upbeat quartet style song Tell the World.  Everyone in the audience immediately jumped to their feet joining in the praise by clapping their hands, and stomping their feet.  After the song, the anointing fell all over the church.  He took another preaching moment to minister during the high praise to exhort the name of the Lord.
