Sunrise on Mount Snow!

 

Sunrise on Mount Snow!

Who knows how many years Living Waters went up to the top of Mount Snow for an Easter Sunrise service, hosted by our beloved deacon, Paul Mello? Sometimes we hauled equipment up there by the big snow vehicles. 

There were certain songs we usually did: "Song of Witness", "Easter Song" by Second Chapter of Acts, "Was It a Morning Like This" by Sandi Patty (sung by Denise). Julia says she always liked our version of "Easter Song" best! We would go together to Mass in Jacksonville and get together at that big house many of us had helped to build.


One song that comes to mind is Mike's "Sunrise". He actually wrote it back in the early 80's, but it was just recorded in our latest album, "Overflow". Up on this slope, can you hear Your Maker, who defeated the power of sin, vice and death whisper to you, "I'll be here with you till the ending; I was here with you from the start"?

A New Review this Easter: Alleluia! Alleluia!

 A New Review this Easter: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Our classic, "Sing to Jesus", just got a new review in time for EASTER!

Living Waters - 'Sing to Jesus'

Review by Daniel Deprè

“Sing To Jesus” is a crowd pleasing jam that is a heck of a lot of fun. There is something very endearing about this song as it’s truly welcoming and warm. It has a classic rock vibe that calls to mind the stylings of Neil Young and The Cars. The song is well arranged, and the vocals are sure to inspire anyone to sing along. This is the kind of song you want to see performed live so you can really feel it’s positive energy and chant the chorus with the band.


Lyrically, this is a song about singing to Jesus when you are feeling the blues. The songs heartwarming nature lends itself to the lyrics which are offering Jesus’ love to lift you up out of the gutter. It’s nice how approachable the lyrics are in the way they are written. They are kind and catchy. “Sing to Jesus when you’re feeling blue, he will show you just what to do, Jesus knows about hurt and pain”. The Chorus than employs some really catchy Non-lexical vocables that are easy to get a hang of.
The arrangement is the traditional classic rock setup and it totally jams with confidence and pride. The piano and acoustic guitar fill in the middle nicely with some ornamentation and rhythmic accompaniment. The electric guitar gets to show off a bit with a few short solos that are busy and impressive. The guitar also gets to give some grit to the song by playing low with lots of distortion in a few of the verses. The vocals are warm and thrive in their mid-range zone, allowing anyone to sing along. The harmonies add a really nice texture as well to the vocals, especially in the chorus’ where a whole group of vocals are introduced. It really creates the sensation of togetherness. “Sing To Jesus” is a forgiving song that will bring the light of Jesus back into your life.
