New Album!! YAY-
So here we sit in Phil Gaudion's studio again, things feeling strangely familiar. We have been sitting on these songs for a while so really felt the need to get them down. It has been a very busy season for us, not particularly with music but with home, church and work commitments, but we knew we needed to just get into the studio again. The aim is to get most of the recording done this year and to launch early next year (maybe around March?? We will keep you posted). So- woohoo…
We are really excited about this new album and this new season and really feel a sense that God is doing a new thing through these songs.
So lets just get a bit theological for a minute..
Jurgen Moltmann talks about the idea of ‘The novum ultimum - the ultimate new thing ' (Moltmann 1996:28) as a biblical theme.
God is always offering glimpses of the new thing. He suggests we can see it throughout Israel's history with the destruction and renewal of the temple, we see it ultimately in the person of Jesus who ushered in an entirely new thing, particularly demonstrated through His resurrection. We see it fulfilled also on a personal level - "Whoever is in Christ, is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17, KJV, alt.)..
God is into making things new- Not just once for all, but a continual making things new and creating the 'New Thing'..
Be encouraged, God never gives up, once he starts something he see it through to the end. He will continue to restore and make new until we are enveloped into the final culmination of the novum ultimum upon His return.
What are you needing Him to make new in your life at the moment?
'He who was seated on the throne said, " I am making everything new" (Rev 21: 5 NIV)
So yea…Thankyou so much for all your interest and support of us. We are so grateful for each of you that have journeyed with us for either a long time or a little. We really pray this new album will be a blessing. We will keep you updated as to launch details and also some pre-release goodies.
Here are some recording pics.
Heaps of Love-
Jess and Daniel
