Firestorm Worship
Just a few of the songs from 2013, our first recording session (In our living room!). 9 songs total. Yes, this was recorded in our living room using an M-Audio 8 track interface with Ableton Live 8 software. Also, this adds fun recording learning curve! … Meaning this: anyone, “and I mean anyone,” can record their own praise or worship music. It is not that hard. We only recorded for our needed copyrights due these are original songs. But then, the recording turned out sounding pretty good, so we converted it to a CD. We have given most away. Now, we attached some here, for worship use, we freely give, we allow downloads of our songs as “Limited Free-Use“. Use them in Worship, for soaking, or for your Personal or Corporate worship or ministry usage. We only ask, that they be as “Limited Free-Use only” and therefore Limited, in that they are for worship, or your general ministry use, not to be sold, for profits/gain. We still have a small few remaining of the 1st and 2nd CD, we will simply give them out to the Passionfire Life Group “New Comer folk”, and the people that contact us, due they still have a CD player. Don’t laugh, I still got one! …FYI. if you are up to date you can download. How to digital download, just click the 3 dots on left side of the song and follow download instructions.
Track #1 “Bring Revival” This song just came as a “cry to the Lord” for more of His presence. Karen is Playing Keyboard – Keyboard effects are crystal arpeggiator (This added shimmer) – our son Caleb is on Drums – Check out his photo above …. he was quite young, but a natural drummer! Nothing was written down at the time, it was just spontaneous.
Track #2 “The River” this was an intimate song that came out of Ezekiel 47:1-12. I am playing acoustic guitar, the progression just happened, and Karen again is in spontaneous song. After listening, we decided for arrangement, that some kind of wood flute sound was missing. So, Karen played a Rosewood flute, it has a mellow, rich tone. I just dubbed it in after our first session. We chose this song, for the name of the CD. Karen vocal – No Drums – Me on Acoustic guitar – and Me again dubbed in playing quietly 2 very soft acoustic harmonies. This added a barley noticeable, 12 string flavor – Also, nothing was written at the time, just spontaneous worship.
A great read for getting into the River. Worship was, and is,… Never about some kind of Perfection… It is, and will always be,… about your Heart! (Just Click the Book)
Track #5 “You are Everything” Karen vocal – Karen arranged. This song is with Kelly Wiersma and Vicky Walden blended in as soft back-up vocal harmonies – Caleb on drums – Michael Yates played Acoustic guitar – I played Electric guitar – We had the whole team present on this song.
Track #6 “You are Worthy” This is a fun song – we played again and again – Karen vocal – Karen arranged it with the dynamic “all stop” near the end – Caleb on drums – Me again on electric guitar – this is a Kingdom song for worshiping the “Identity” of Christ.
Also, a Live Prophetic worship recorded
In 2014, we had our first Full Prophetic Worship Service (where the Spirit just showed up and scrapped our, pre-planned song list). This was quite different, and unpredictable; with there being no plan, no music/no songs at all, or chord sheets. And this all happened, in a live worship setting; we were familiar with soaking. But, this was just a bit above a soaking level service, Karen was singing out the Rama word. This was not something any of us had experienced at this level before. Except, when we were present when Don Potter sang out a revelation message combined teaching. This service had a very Heavy, blanket Presence feel, in the room. …At this evening service, …a strong outflow, both prophetic word and revelational teaching, was being “Declared” over an “entire church”; as a “whole body”, as apposed to the prophetic words that are normally sung over individual people, in a soaking service! This was such a contrast, honestly, too what we had been expecting in the flow of the Holy Spirit we felt a bit stunned! And, for that evening, …for us, it was more like Witnessing a Corporate Healing in full process! …We were taken back! …So, we just did what we could, and fell face first into it! We started the recorder at the beginning of the service! After mixing down what we could, …from this one live take, and allowing for prayerful reflection, it seemed to us, as if, we were only there observing something, …we concluded it was a Corporate Open Heart Surgery!
Track #3 “Surgery by Fire” Soaking in His Sons Blood, He begins His Wondrous work in your Heart.
Track #4 “Peace and Clarity” He covers you with the Blanket of His Peace, you Recover all that was Lost.
