Passion - Hymns Ancient & Modern - February
24th, 2004
Worship melodies change with the times... but the lyrics
remain the same. Recapture and discover the heartbeat of Ancient-Future Worship.
Passion: Hymns Ancient And Modern - Live Songs Of Our Faith is a live worship
collection like no other. Lead by the familiar voices of Charlie Hall, Chris Tomlin,
David Crowder*Band, Matt Redman and more, this musical offering is grounded with
the desire to rally around songs of the faith - songs of the church. Passion's
vibrant collection of hymns-made-new resurrects the need to offer our lives as
living sacrifices in awe of God's unwavering love for us.
Recorded live
in concert, HYMNS: ANCIENT AND MODERN- Live Songs Of Our Faith is the result of
each Passion artists' love for classic songs of the church. All 13 tracks were
written at least 100 years ago and in most cases have been updated with a contemporary
refrain or praise chorus composed by the current performer. In fact, one selection
("Hail Gladdening Light") is a rewrite of the oldest known hymn on record, "Phos
Hilaren," which dates back to 200 AD.
VISITOR COMMENTS
To
Whom it may concern;
Passion has to be the greatist praise and worship band
ever!!!!!! The music is so inspiring and the messages effective. We have been
playing passions' music in our youth department at our church. Our youth minister
said before we started playing the music the youth group had no real interest
in going to the mid week service. We have two very talented musicians that had
heard passion and decided to play the music at hte youth group meetings. At first
they had only a couple of guitarists and a piano player.
When I had heard
they were looking for a drummer I stepped up to the plate and said I can play.
Man do we have a good time. The best part of this story is the youth are fired
up and we have seen a tremedous diffrence in the attitude of our youth. They have
become regulars and are starting to bring more kids to the worship service. Amen!!!!!!!!
I
would like to commend Passion for there vision and talent. The music is awsome
and we can see why the colleges have been going wild. Our youth are excited about
christ!!!!!!!!! I end this letter with this last note: Passion has the hand of
God on them and I firmly believe that music can be a very effective tool for our
generation.
Winning people to christ has been truly rewarding and it's been
passions' music that has turned our youth around. God Bless,
Friends in
Christ, Scott

My Comments
on Passion (The Group, LOL)
Passion is undoubtedly the best Christian group
I have ever heard. They have such a great mix of popular music and praise that
they move everyone who hears them. When I listen too their music I always end
up singing along, no matter how bad of a mood I'm in. It's worked miracles in
our youth group. People who were completely lost came to one of our overnight
events and as they sang along you could see them begin to realize what they've
been missing. I've seen people begin crying as they sing, some who I never thought
would see Jesus. Passion's music is the most powerful tool for youth ministry
I have ever seen.
And the best part is that the lyrics are easy to catch.
Just figure out the words to seven or eight songs and put them on an overhead
and you've made a huge step towards bringing God to the youth of your church.

Every song sung from Passion
is the cry of my heart for this generation. Once I pop in a Passion tape there
is a worship service, just me and God. The music is so intimate and life-changing!
This generation is groaning for a savior, and Passion sees that and there hearts
are broken so they cry out to God the only one who can save them. Well that's
why I like Passion and i can't wait to get the newest CD.
