It’s a call to prayer, a cry out to God, a warning that nothing can ever be the same again. From the war cry of Paint The Town Red to the tears at the feet of the Miracle Maker, from the abandon of Here I Am Send Me to the brokenness of Stronger, The Mission Bell rings with an urgency and a passion more than equal to its predecessor World Service
Musically the album is a combination of soaring anthems and worshipful ballads. Guitars are bold, melodies inspired, ambiance unavoidable. And there’s is depth and honesty in the lyrics, seen in tracks like All This Time: “so how can I serve God and wealth? I can captivate an army but I can’t control myself…” Take Off My Shoes takes things a step further, pleading with God to “hold me, blow all the pride from my bones with your fire… breathe on this heart made of stone, keep it pure.”
Now Is The Time gets to the heart of the matter: “now is the time for us to shine, shine with the light of Christ divine. No compromise, for all heaven cries ‘now is the time’. The Mission Bell rings loud and clear and true.
