David is one of the best examples of a worshiper who praised God regardless of the circumstances. He chose to turn to the Lord in his darkest and most desperate moments, not in denial of his trials, but by choosing to worship God regardless. Whether in the glory of victory, in a cave on the run or amidst great remorse over sin, David always turned his eyes to the Lord, his creator, refuge and strength. The most amazing part of all of this is that as believers we love and serve the same God today! And as great as David's enemies were in battle, our sin and darkness is that much greater in light of a perfectly Holy God. We were in need of rescue, a Savior, and God provided that once and for all in Jesus Christ. The purposed of this album is to bring attention to this theme: When we were lost, surrounded by sin and darkness, the Lord heard our cry, had mercy on us, and saved us! I pray that as you listen to this album, your heart will be turned towards the Lord in worship.

Lord of Elijah now we pray
Give us a picture of that day
When Holy fire came down
Burned up the altar and the ground
Lord we are calling on your name
Believing that You never change
So send Your fire here today
As we cry out
The Lord He is God
He is good
With our eyes we've seen it
The Lord He is God
He is good
All his people say it
And He's turning our hearts
He's turning our hearts back again
He who watches over Israel
Will never slumber nor sleep
He who watches over Israel
Is watching over me
How wonderful Your works O Lord
How precious are Your thoughts
My soul will cling to You O Lord
As Your right hand lifts me up
If I lift my eyes to the mountains
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
born to set Thy people free
from our fears and sins release us
let us find our rest in Thee
Israel's strength and consolation
hope of all the earth thou art
dear desire of every nation
joy of every longing heart
Born Thy people to deliver
born a child, and yet a king
born to reign in us for ever
now Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal Spirit
rule in all our hearts alone
by Thine all-sufficient merit
raise us to thy glorious throne
