THE JOURNEY represents chronologically several phases of one young man's personal "journey" as a believer in Jesus Christ. The album begins as he receives the Gospel Message -- the good news of God's unconditional, incomparable love for him, so undeniably demonstrated at the Cross of Calvary. (Nobody)

Upon the young man's conversion and declaration of Jesus Christ as his savior, joy reigns supreme as heavenly angels unite with believers to celebrate the greatest miracle of them all -- the new birth. (Prison Door)

Later, the babe in Christ begins to grow, but so does his reponsibility to God. Soon he experiences the pangs of gross failure and the realization that he has been compromising his faith. In utter brokenness, the young man repents and enthrones Jesus Christ as the supreme Lord of His Life. (Fully Broken)

This experience is followed by a time of fasting, praying and waiting upon the Lord (In One Accord) until a confirming word is received with power. (Rushing Wind)

The believer is then thrust into a greater awareness of spiritual conflict -- the battle within, (Look to Jesus) and as the warfare intensifies, the enemy is able to penetrate and expose all sorts of weakness in this believer. But as the failures abound, much more so does the Grace of God and the wounded soldier experiences healing and deliverance at the hand of Christ. (Battleground) It is during this period that the believer learns the effective use of praise & worship as a weapon of spiritual warfare. (Praises)

The album concludes during a lull in the battle and in a quiet moment, the believer prays. (Only Room for Love)

This project is dedicated to those individuals who can identify with this young man, having embarked upon a similar journey of their own. May God richly bless you!
