Main Review
Assuming most of us don't have the time or the discernment to create a themed playlist, Revelation
Songs was compiled to inspire and express feelings. Appropriately enough, all of the songs on
Revelation Songs deal with the experience of or a response to a revelation.
There's a mix of older and newer songs (some date back 6 years). Some choices are no-brainers; Kari
Jobe, anyone? Her "Revelation Song" is included in its shorter version with Gateway Worship. It's a song
I've loved since I first heard it, (She also appears with Klaus on the song "Running"). Other standouts are
New Life Worship's "Hear Us From Heaven", and Paul Baloche's "Glorious". The songs all seem to
blend into each other, creating a near-seamless effect. (Sorry Third Day fans; "Revelation" is not
included.) As the songs range from long to very long ("Revelation Song" @ 4:33 to "Where You Go I'll Go"
by Brian and Jenn Johnson @ 9:48) it's more of an atmospheric album (revelation mood music, if you
will) than a sing-along.
Closing Thoughts
While I didn't have any revelations of my own listening to it, I do believe that Revelation Songs would be a
nice gift album for a friend who's waiting for direction from God. Chances are if you're a big music fan you
already have the best songs anyway.
