Working with these beautiful hymns was an experience that I will never forget. When I started this project I decided to learn a bit about each of the hymns I had chosen to arrange and this really brought each piece alive for me. The words of the hymns, themselves, also had a profound impact on me. Although I've grown up singing hymns at church, I never stopped to really focus on the words that I was singing before. Boy, was I missing out! This project was certainly an eye opener for me and I don't think I'll ever look at hymns the same way again!--Jennifer HainesREVIEWS:"Fans of solo pianist Jennifer Haines ( usfourmusic ) have something new to look forward to, a beautiful collection of everyone's favorite traditional hymns: Blessed Assurance.
In a world intent on throwing curve balls and complications our way, Jennifer's gentle melodies offer a soothing balm; a reminder that when things spin out of OUR control, Someone stronger and wiser is still at the helm.
With 14 timeless classics ranging from "Amazing Grace" to "I Surrender All", this 45 minute CD is like a breath of fresh air, catching you up in a spirit of worship and devotion made all the more powerful by the sincerity and adoration of the vessel stroking the keys with passion from her God and King. It's breathtaking, tranquil, beautiful... unbelievably moving.
No matter where you are while you listen - at home, at work or on the road - you'll suddenly find yourself transported to your inner Sanctuary, tapping into the strength and security that only the Almighty can supply.
Tuning into Blessed Assurance is anything BUT a passive experience. As the music wells up within you, you'll catch yourself humming and singing along. And, if it's been a while since you've heard them, simply look inside and you'll find the lyrics and return to simpler times.
Life pulls us in a lot of different directions. Sadly, so many of them are the WRONG directions. Jennifer's latest album offers us a chance to run into the open arms of our Savior and be lavished in His love.
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,Calling for you and for me...Won't you listen?"--Jennifer Gibbs jennifergibbs ---------------
