5.0 out of 5 stars The Brooklyn Tabernacle does it again!, March 7, 2002

This review is from: Be Glad (Audio CD)

JOY, JOY, JOY. This latest album from The Brooklyn Tabernacle will make you jump for joy, literally! It is impossible to be sad and gloomy when listening to the first cut on the disk, Be Glad. It contains the joy of knowing that Jesus is in control and in charge. The instrumental track is well performed and the bass guitar line has a real kick. He Reigns Forever, the fourth cut, has a similar theme. It's upbeat and asks us to give God all the glory for everything he's done. This album is TBT's response to the 9/11 crisis. The message it shares with us is the message that this precious church has always shared with us. There is still hope because God lives and he cares for everyone of us even though our lives become very dark for a season. The seventh song on the album, This Is How It Feels To Be Free, speaks of the freedom that can only be known when your life is given to Jesus. It is only then that you experience the true joy of not being held back by the sins of this world. Go Forth is the last song on the album. It's message tells us to carry on in the name of Jesus. Life is hard, we all know that. But you can get through it with God's help. Carol Cymbala has discovered the path to success. Her heart is so obedient, soft and compliant to the will of God that everything she does expresses her love and gratitude to the Lord for what he has done. That leads me to He's Still Doing Great Things, the eighth song. God still performs miracles. He does not sleep. This song reminds us of that. I'm afraid I'm running out of words to describe all the great work this choir does. Their popularity comes not only from the material they sing but from the love and passion they have for Jesus. You can hear it everytime they sing. You won't be disappointed with this latest offering. It's instant joy in a plastic case. Don't pop a pill when you need a lift in your spirit. Listen to this album instead.

How could I ever expect anything other than to be greatly blessed by this amazing choir! The CD is beautiful, inspiring and worshipful, and like most music from Brooklyn Tabernacle, makes my cry! As a professional musician, I alway appreciate their great arrangments as well as the soloists. Get this. You will be blessed and you will BE GLAD!

5.0 out of 5 stars There's something for everybody on this project!!, March 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Be Glad (Audio CD)

OK! I might be prejudiced, this is my home church choir. But, I don't always love their projects. But I love this one! Buy it ASAP! My favorite songs are the title song Be Glad and Goodness of the Lord. Be Glad makes you happy to know Our Savior and Goodness of the Lord makes you want to shout because of all His goodness. This project has different syles for different moods. However, I kept hitting my back button on my CD player to hear 1&2 again and again. (I had to leave my CD player home today, because my husband wanted to take the CD today.) Though I have other music, it just wasn't Be Glad, and Be Glad was what I wanted to hear. (If you think it's great on recording, you should hear it live).....anointed!
