Let Praise Resound

The lyrics of ‘Let Praise Resound’ are based in the solid truths of the Bible, whilst also giving encouragement for right now. I’ve loved and sung Resound Worship’s songs for years, and really rate the way they’re not afraid to cover the themes and Bible passages that other songwriters avoid.

Whilst not aimed specifically at families, ‘Let Praise Resound’ is great for all ages. It’s a live album, so has a real energy and excitement to it and every single song is a quality tune – from the anthemic title track ‘Let Praise Resound’ to the more reflective songs ‘O Faithful Lord’. They’re all in sensible keys for singing along (massive ‘Hooray’ from all musoes), and the breadth of topics and Bible passages covered make it a really useful tool for sharing the breadth of faith with our kids as they naturally pick up the words.

The powerful ‘Lord, You hear the cry’ is a prayer for social justice, helping our children to see that our faith must lead to intercession and action. ‘Jesus you have called us’ covers the culturally-challenging message from Matthew 16 about denying ourselves and taking up our cross. ‘Christ was raised’ puts into context the hard things we and our children go through: “Christ is raised, so our struggles have a purpose, he’s alive, so our work is not in vain”.

‘Let Praise Resound’ is one of the best worship albums I’ve heard, and definitely worth a spin if you haven’t come across these guys!
