Welcome to the revival! Come on in and leave your troubles at the door. This exciting collection from a true talent and vibrant voice in sacred music takes you to church. The eclectic fusion of styles like gospel, R & B, jazz, and traditional organ-based hymnody ensures that there is something in this collection to please absolutely everyone. “Lord, Make Me an Instrument,” a setting of the classic Prayer of St. Francis text, builds to a powerful and stirring climax. “Worthy God” is a moving declaration of faith and devotion, and the infectious and inspiring title track, “Building Up the Kingdom,” encourages God’s call to action. Rhythmic drive, a singable melody, and an impassioned text will make “Daily Bread” a congregation favorite that begs to be sung. The songs of Building Up the Kingdom are sure to ignite the fire of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of all the assembled, and their raised voices will set the rafters ablaze. Contents: Give the Lord Glory and Honor, Remember Your Mercies, Blessed, Worthy God, Mary's Song (The Annunciation), Worship the Newborn King, Hail, Queen of Heaven, Getting Ready, Daily Bread, The Christ in Me, Building Up the Kingdom, Lord, Make Me an Instrument, Anchored in de Lord.
