Mandisa is Quite the Overcomer!

A theme of overcoming has surfaced in this blog which makes the timing right to introduce Mandisa's album, in its modernity, to you.  The album is called "Overcomer" which opens with the song of the same name.  "Overcomer" sets the mood of God's children overcoming the world.  Fearfulness, hopelessness and brokenness result from tribulations in the world.  When God's children rely on their Savior, Jesus, all fearfulness, hopelessness and brokenness fade away.  This is shown in the songs "The Distance", "Face 2 Face" and "Press On."  There are times when the children of God are moved to thank God and praise Him as shown in the songs "Back To You", "At All Times" and "Joy Unspeakable." 

I found the song "Back To You" unique in the sense that it is talking about giving a life to God for His purposes instead of futilely giving a life to earn God's favor for salvation.  "Back To You" is written from the perspective of someone who has already accepted Christ as indicated in the testimony of words from the song:

"I'll testify, testify how You gave Your life for mine"



"Dear John" is a letter in song for you if you have not accepted Christ as your Savior.  You will find your opportunity to choose Jesus' forgiveness by His scars.  If you choose Jesus, the Father is waiting with open arms.  Here is the description from "Dear John" of choosing Jesus' side:

There's freedom

On the other side of

Things that keep us tied up and afraid

There's hope in every situation

No matter what you're facing everyday

But it's up to you

You get to choose

The Father is waiting there with open arms



When the child comes home to the Father, there is a celebration in store.  "Joy Unspeakable" is an awesome celebration of the Lord with all reverence intact!
