5.0 out of 5 stars Please Don't Sleep On A True Blessing, October 21, 2003

I have heard Marvin Sapp's music in the past, but never got around to purchasing any of his cd's. I heard "One Thing" and liked it - but then I heard "You Are God Alone." This song is truly a blessing. I still didn't buy the cd yet. I then saw an hour long special on the WORD channel where Marvin performed "You Are God Alone", "Miracle", "Worship Medley", "Glory To The Lamb", "Lift Those Hands" - All I could do was sit there in all the presence of the Lord and praise Him for the message He sent forth through Marvin. You are missing out on a blessing if you let this cd pass you by. He also has his son singing background with him on the video - it is great.

Praise the Lord for such a servant. I don't know alot about Brother Sapp but I do know that he knows the Lord! I can tell in his testimony as he sings of the great works and praises to our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. The song, "One Thing" is amazing. It is straight up scripture (Psalm 27). The song that really got me and makes me cry and worship is "You are God Alone!" WOW! It got my attention the first time I heard it. It stayed in my spirit for a long time. I had to find out who the artist was to get my hands on that song. I dream that song sometimes. It is so powerful! It is blessed to have a song that ministers to our God. Blessed! I visited my sibling in Christ's website and he lets it be known that he is not a singer that happens to preach...NO, HE IS A PREACHER CALLED BY GOD THAT HAPPENS TO SING! Blessed truly blessed! "Dairy of a Psalmist," what a fitting title!

If you can't make it to church on Sunday morning for any reason, you could get your praise, worship, and shout on with this album. Sometime his music moves me to tears. After his previous cd "I Believe", I didn't believe he could craft such a masterpiece of praise. However, "Diary of a Psalmist" is more of a praise and worship album. He blends contemporary lyrics with more traditional arrangements. When I say contemporary, I simply mean more complicated musical and lyrical arrangements. Most traditional songs are very repetitive with very little in between. This is clearly one of the best gospel albums I have ever purchased. I slept on Marvin for years because I didn't like his first album produced by Fred Hammond (both of them should stick with more traditional arrangements and leave the new age stuff to younger artist... Fred's more contemporary productions don't work well either). Plus, the production is top notch. So often you purchase live CDs and the choir and artist sound as if they are standing miles from the microphones and you hear more from the audience than the artist. That isn't the case here. Please purchase this CD, post a review and let me know what you think.
