THOUGHTS:
Joseph Habedank is back with another exciting and meaningful album with Deeper Oceans. This Dove Award winning soloist delivers yet again with ten inspirational and exciting songs that are sure to delight listeners all over the country and beyond.
The album kicks off with the energetic “Sometimes It’s The Radio,” which says God knows what we need to hear. This fun song reminds us of the power of Christ through music. “None Of That Here,” is driving, mid-tempo tune that simply says: No guilt, shame, pain, tears, fear, or death will be in Heaven. “We’ll have none of that here.” You have had your time. No more! “Shame On Me,” is a laid back, Country style tune that proclaims: I’m forgiven. I am a child of the King. There is no shame on me since He made me clean. “This Grace,” is a powerful ballad that thanks Jesus for His unending Grace. It never runs out. It never grows cold. He won’t let me go. I will keep singing His praises. His Grace is available for everyone. No matter how far you stray, His Grace is there for you. “Gone” is a groovy tune that simply says: Thanks to Jesus, all of my guilt, shame, and sin is gone! Heaven is mine to claim. When He calls my name I’ll be gone! The title track is a beautifully written ballad that reminds us of the power of Christ’s Mercy. Forever will our sins be cast away in the sea of forgetfulness by Christ. “Goliath” is mid-tempo song of inspiration that encourages listeners that with God on your side, you can take down you Goliath. The beautiful ballad “Everything Bows,” simply says: Everything bows at the name of Jesus. God is greater than whatever you are facing in your life. “Something Different,” is a catchy tune with a driving rhythm. This song simply says: Everything changes when Christ appears. Lay down your burdens at His feet and let Him do something different in you. “One More Reason,” is an incredibly moving track that Habedank dedicates to his late grandmother. This powerful lyric says that now there is one more reason to for him to look forward to Heaven. The song opens a closes with a clip of his grandmother praying which is a touching tribute.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
JOSEPH HABEDANK IS AN INCREDIBLY TALENTED ARTIST AND THIS PROJECT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS. EACH SONG ON THIS RECORDING ARE WELL CRAFTED AND FULL OF MEANING. HABEDANK’S VOCALS ARE STELLAR ON THIS PROJECT AS USUAL. HE DELIVERS EACH LYRIC WITH SUCH CONVICTION AND EMOTION. HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME ON THIS RECORD INCLUDE: “ONE MORE REASON,” “THIS GRACE,” “GONE,” AND “NONE OF THAT HERE.”
THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR FANS OF GREAT SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC!
