The Paths of Grace CD builds strongly on from Stuart Townend's previous album, The Journey, with a new collection of Christian songs and lyrical hymns for the Church today. As you'd expect from this sensitive and creative song writer, this is a collection of expressive and devotional music that is not just for the Church but for every church member to hear, listen to, share, sing and make a response.
Unmistakably Stuart Townend this blend of folk sounds and rhythms, with its Celtic lilt and rich lyrical heritage, also has much to say about and to the Christian in their daily life in today's home, workplace and public arena. There's a song about unity, about meeting Christ in the streets rather than just in church. There's, a setting of the Lord's prayer, and a deeply thoughtful song that stands like a scaffolding for prayer when you need it most.
These songs of grace and strength are equally effective sung aloud in congregational worship and hummed or simply heard in times of private devotion. But there are also songs to 'get you out there' into the real world; where the Gospel message is most needed and least known. Diary of an Agnostic is more for the evangelistic in tone as is Streets of the City; just a bit edgy and keeping you thinking about what you're actually singing.
This is an album with a strong acoustic folk flavour, especially with the voice of Ruth Notman, but with attitude. There's a bit more big drum and a bit more electric guitar but definitely still within the abilities of your local worship band when the sheet music comes along.
This is the Stuart Townend album for all seasons and all spaces. You'll want it with you in your quiet times, when you're out in the world and when you're building your faith in the company of othe Christians. It's the collection you've been looking for to bring you close to God and give you the motivation to take God with you into a world that needs reminding of Gospel message more than ever before.
