I had the great fortune of seeing the Newsboys in Roseville, CA several years back. They’re an amazing band. He Reigns was the second song they played.
That is a great song. It makes me tear up.
Yeah, I think Peter wrote that. He’s no longer with the band.
We go back to 1989-90 or so when we first saw them live at AtlantaFest on a brutally hot afternoon as a "secondary" band. They were just full of raw energy and power both in their music and in their gospel message. Still like their music (and message!) 25 years later...
Wish I could be there - love Newsboys.
For you Newsboys fans that may not know,,, Peter Furler is now part of Steve Taylor’s new band “Steve Taylor and The Perfect Foil”. Steve wrote/co-wrote and produced many of the Newsboys hit albums. Their new album “Goliath” is about as good as it gets in my opinion.
The bands successful Kickstarter campaign had a hillarious video of Steve “renewing his license to rock”. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2128223578/steve-taylor-and-the-perfect-foil-new-album-really/description
Album is at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/goliath/id918767320
Not to hijack the thread from the Newsboys but since Steve Taylor was brought up...
Be a clone and kiss conviction, goodnight
Cloneliness is next to Godliness, right
I’m grateful that they show the way ‘cause I could never know
The way to serve Him on my own, I want to be a clone
They told me that I’d fall away unless I followed what they say
Who needs the Bible anyway, I want to be a clone
Shine was my favourite song for a while, it really said how to live as a Christian.
I have listened to them since I was real young too, but haven’t heard as much of their newer stuff.
I hope Cruz can unite Christian conservatives and the original constitution can be restored.
If that’s not the case, things will get even uglier soon.
“He Reigns” is one of my favorites! Thanks for posting it. Will have to pop the CD in the truck this morning
