A: (Cassidy): surely, we've got been during this actually crazy season in our world and these 4 songs on the EP have turn into form of like anthems for our church. These songs had been encouraging. individuals have reached out to us and noted these songs have been sustaining them via this season. So we desired to assemble those songs collectively and type of put out this venture as a kind of altar to commemorate what God has accomplished in our church via this complete COVID-19 shutdown season.
Q: can you discuss one of the new singles from the EP like "Heaven's all around"? It got here out right earlier than the shutdown in March.
A: (Cassidy): yes, we started introducing that music to our church right before we needed to shut our doorways so it be wonderful to me how God works. We wrote this tune, all of the songs on the "Jesus Is near" album, lower back in 2019, including "Heaven's all around." All we knew at that time as a bunch of writers became that God turned into telling us He changed into going to do whatever thing new in the church so we wrote "Heaven's throughout" as a daring invitation for God to return and flow like He desires to, to come and make the old fresh. And he is blown us away at how he is used this track to do exactly that. At a time once we couldn't meet together bodily, He had already gone ahead and made a method with Church on-line. We're simply seeing Him reveal up time and time again as he is remodeling the Church via this length of time. So it is in fact been an anthem for us via this complete season.
(Rob) I be aware once we played it ("Heaven's all around") for the first time. such as you observed, it changed into before everything shut down. It was in February and the band, every person worried with the creation of that event, there turned into this weight on all people, considering here's going to be significant— we did not understand exactly why or how — we simply felt the Spirit in the room getting ready us. And right here we go, a month later all of this occurs. although the shutdown became by no means most useful and that i do not think any of us would say that we loved it or wanted it to ensue, God answered the prayer that we sing in the bridge: "Come and do what You need to, come and make the old fresh." here is a renewing season. he is filtering out lots of issues, i do know in my very own lifestyles, and bringing something new. We're excited to peer that occur.
Q: How have americans answered to that track?
A: (Cassidy) The response has been very constant that it be been motivating and it's helped americans type of shift their attitude from all of the negativity and chaos it truly is so rampant in our world. it be been a focusing, unifying music, a reminder that God is moving; he is near even once we cannot be close every different.
Q: can you focus on an additional single from the brand new EP, "under no circumstances Will"?
A: (Cassidy) "under no circumstances Will" talks about how in each season that we face, high or low, God is consistent. he is devoted via it, he is never going to allow us to go. The group of us who wrote the song, we have been form of speakme about what does someone who goes through a season of anxiety and melancholy should hear. bear in mind we wrote this returned in October 2019, earlier than any of the pandemic hit. We had been it like what does a person walking through a off-season should hear. The answer is not at all times "Oh, or not it's going to get enhanced." on occasion, the issue we deserve to hear probably the most is that God is with us right the place we're and he isn't going to go away and he's not going to let us go. quick ahead to March of this 12 months when we have been closing our (church) doorways, people at that time and nevertheless these days, have been coping with things like unemployment, health and just no longer figuring out what the future holds. Wh at an ideal time to be reminded that God is not going anyplace. people latched onto that tune as quickly as we brought it all the way through the pandemic and or not it's been a big one for our individuals each in view that.
