In January of 2010, a group of worship leaders and musicians from Genesis, performed and recorded, a live all original worship CD called “Hope Rising.” Many of these songs are played regularly at Genesis as a part of our Sunday gatherings.
As worshippers in conversation with the living God, we know that the power is not in the song itself – but it is in the Creator who sometimes chooses to use music to speak to; to discipline, to encourage and to empower His creations. That is why we have written these songs. At Genesis we can think of nothing greater than responding to God’s invitation to know and be known by Him. If these songs can help us do that, how can we not write them? How can we not sing them?
Our hope is that as you listen and sing along you will hear truth and catch a glimpse of who God is and how much He cares for you. May you hear a challenge to live as Jesus did and feel compelled to respond in obedience. May you be humbled by the greatness of God and inspired to give Him the praise He deserves.
CDs are available in the church lobby. “Hope Rising” is also available for download on iTunes.
