"Sojourn Community Church in Louisville KY's Germantown neighborhood, has a refreshing approach to contemporary Christian music. Blessed with a congregation loaded with talented artists and musicians, Executive Producer, Mike Cosper and his staff took 11 Isaac Watts hymns, rich in liturgy, and updated their music and lyrics for contemporary listeners. This album is great in every way. The updated lyrics maintain their biblical focus, while the music is pleasantly on the contemporary side. This is a church project with about 35 people on this CD as either musicians or vocalists. These updated hymns are used regularly in Sojourn's church services along with many other original and traditional songs. It is just good music to listen to!
It should be noted that this CD, Over the Grave - The Hymns of Isaac Watts, Volume 1, was produced by Sojourn; writing, arranging, recording, mixing, and even the album cover and inserts were produced by the church staff and congregants. Universal's Bonded Records picked this project up after it was completed. The professional level of this production is outstanding. The good news is they are working on Volume 2."
Amazing

"Sojourn does it again with this album. Great lyrics (modified from Isaac Watts), and great music. Love it!"
