Christopher Lewis – Crisis: Change Is Required

The undeviating lyrics that reflect a man in pain, emotionally seeking the comfort of God during troubled times are heard on every song on this album. Lewis includes short dialogues to emphasize this message, including The Fall of London Bridge featuring Darlene McCoy. The dialogue is a fight between a man and a wife over an alleged online affair. Touching on sensitive issues such as infidelity and death, Lewis does not shy away from issues that trouble Christians. Title track, Change summarizes how crises drive people to change. The song is both comforting and provokes the soul to action. Lewis’ soothing vocals tell listeners: “If you want to get through/you got to keep pressing on….Got to keep pressing on/if you want to get your change to come/Got to keep pressing on/if I want to get my change to come…I got to press on!”

The second disk includes a compilation of praise and worship styles with an enchanting twist. The 10 tracks include melodious ballads, from the sweet serenity of Open My Heart to the spiritually inviting Incline My Heart. Other tracks include the revitalizing Psalm 95: A Call to Worship and the soul-filling Flow. Lewis takes the listener on a journey of reverence – a sacred place of worshipping God in spirit and truth.

Born and raised in Goldsboro, North Carolina, Lewis’s early upbringing in a family heavily influenced by gospel music is evident in his music ministry. Released on Tyco Records, Crisis: Change Is Coming is an innovative project. With two disks provided and a wealth of information about the artist and his inspiration behind the project, Crisis is truly a unique and introspective listen.
