Worship Central — “Stir A Passion” Album Review

Last October, the imaginative team behind Worship Central convened The Gathering in Birmingham, England and recorded some of the live music enjoyed over the weekend for release this spring. Stir A Passion is the very pleasing end result, a vibrant and inspired compilation of worshipful songs that easily translate from personal to corporate use.

“Pray” is an exciting electric opener that frames the Lord’s Prayer in an compelling, mid-tempo rock setting (trust us, you’ll love it). The album’s title track is a sincere prayer for the Spirit to stir God’s people to meaningful action. “Waves” is a tender refrain that encourages listeners to create space enough to reflect on God’s presence. Finally, a fitting close is found on “Hope and Glory,” which reminds us that “Christ alone, our hope and glory, Christ alone, in You we stand.”
