BAND BIOGRAPHY by Holly Simmers
Crossway Worship Band (CWB) exhibits a real freedom in worship that is rarely experienced and quite refreshing, in an age where anything new and cool is quickly ravaged and replicated faster than the Borg! CWB gets its sound from the roots and marrow of what has made them who they are, after years of life spent with and without God. Life gets real when all of its facets are lined up together from best to worst and embraced. So also, worship becomes most genuine when it can be written and uttered from all of those points, high and low, in the lives we live. CWB gets its sound from the roots and marrow of what has made them who they are, after years of life spent with and without God. Life gets real when all of its facets are lined up together from best to worst and embraced. So also, worship becomes most genuine when it can be written and uttered from all of those points, high and low, in the lives we live. Over a decade from its first writings and presentation, Crossway Worship Music (more than the band) has become an entity in itself. It is a style and origin of honest lyric, stirring melodies, and enjoyable grooves, from the perspective of less than perfect people in love with God. Despite popular definitions of what is or isn't worship music, Crossway Worship will always embody the Presence of God and His relationship with man. Through human eyes and holy revelation, our limited speech whether to Him, from Him, or about Him, presents an offering. Our lives poured out honestly before God and man is our true act of worship. But it is their passion for restoring the lost and the outcast, for lifting up the weak and the foolish, that has planted their music into the hearts of the unchurched and draw the lost and seekers into the light of Christ and home to true worship. The sounds of celebration and joy are served 'Memphis style' with plenty of blues, funk, rock and contemporary gospel, and some unexpected layers of rap and pop too. From awe and wonder to grief and despair, from questions to revelation, each song (or modern day psalm) in the four volume collection is a journal entry of the adventure and discovery of life and love, in the companionship of Christ. Crossway Worship Volume Four portrays a season of confident joy and celebration in God's constancy and undying mercy, which actively pursues each of us daily to bring wisdom, comfort, renewal, and strength.

"You can hear the Memphis sound influencing the entire CD. It has wonderful worship songs that I will be singing in my hoe, with my kids and at my church! Love "Amazed"! Highly anointed words and music! The song come from an independent record label in Memphis...I am AMAZED!"

"An excellent cd! This is contemporary worship at it's finest. This cd blends the styles of today's Christian music into one very annointed mix. The order of the songs allows the listener to enjoy each song without having to skip around. My favorite songs are "Hey, Hey, Good and Faithful Servant", "Amazed", & "Before You Start to Pray". I also like Paul Berkes's voice on "More & More" and the emotion of "Burn Me Up/Set Me Free". I hightly recommend this CD for worship leaders and music ministers all over, no matter what style of music your church enjoys. This one will be in my CD Player for quite a while."

"This cd has it all from soul to dance and deep praise and worship. This music is fresh and wonderfully put together.
The words are riveting and the sound like no other out there.
I have had Hosanna Intregity, and Vineyard but this is a whole
new level of worship..These guys are on to something great..."
