An Pleasant Surprise,
By
This review is from: In Christ Alone: Modern Hymns Of Worship (Audio CD)
n Christ Alone: Modern Hymns Of Worship is a brand new album by Bethany Dillon and Matt Hammitt (whom you may know as the lead vocalist of the band Sanctus Real). The album offers exactly what you'd expect if judging by the title: a selection of modern hymns. These are not just straightforward recitations of the songs, though, but are what could best be described as alt-pop adaptations. The artists come through with several different musical styles and each takes turns singing lead. Somehow it combines to make a great album. A reviewer at Christianity Today says, "those looking for more originality and lyrical depth in modern worship might enjoy this unusually crafted collection of modern hymns set to alternative pop arrangements and sung by Bethany Dillon and Matt Hammitt."
You are probably familiar with most of the songs. The album features several tracks by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend (including, of course, the title track) along with selections by Martin Smith (of Delirious fame), Tim Hughes, Vicky Beeching and a couple of others. The songs focus primarily on the person and work of Jesus Christ, making this an ideal selection for listening to this week as we prepare for Easter. Here is the song list: 1. Clinging to the Cross 2. In Christ Alone 3. Jesus Is Lord 4. Joy Has Dawned 5. O Church Arise 6. God Of Justice 7. On The Third Day 8. The Power Of The Cross 9. Adoration 10. How Deep The Father's Love For Us 11. In The Cross Alone I Glory 12. The Wonder Of The Cross I quickly fell for their arrangements of "Jesus is Lord," "Joy Has Dawned," "On the Third Day" and "In the Cross Alone I Glory." But truly, there isn't a rotten selection among them. I hadn't anticipated enjoying this album but was glad I picked it up. It was a very pleasant surprise.

This album is unique. I think that's why some people don't like it. I can honestly say that I've never heard anything quite like it. It's got an acoustic/pop worship album feel that is unique unto itself. I was unsure the first time I heard it. The more I listed to this album, though, I discovered the beauty of the lyrics and duets of Matt and Bethany. This album is a powerful worship experience. I have been blessed by the songs on it. I would say that this album is not as much for the Sanctus Real fan as it is for the Bethany Dillon fan. If you like both (as I do) I think you will find this album a welcome addition to your music collection.
