Chris Rice's music is perfect- the lyrics are witty yet touching, and the tunes are sweet but not too overdone. This is my favorite album- I love "Wonder" and "Everything's OK". These songs are so powerful- they can make me cry, smile, and remember. Download the album, you won't regret it. This is a great way to praise God.
I had never really listened to any of his songs, but I had heard he was good. I listened to "The Other Side of the Radio" and "Spare an Angel", and I immediately bought them.I think his songs are great. They put faith into words...literally.
I love the song "Smile" - it expresses the yearning of my heart quite accurately!
The words and music of Chris Rice makes my spirit soar like the wings of an eagle... what more could you want? My favorite songs of this album -- "My Cathedral" and "Circle Up."
This song strikes a cord of almost every life situation one finds oneself in: days of gladness and sorrow, hope and fear, birth, death, and eternity. No matter what you are facing: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. The music and lyrics are matched so appropriately, it ministers to me everytime I hear, no matter what I am undergoing.
I can't speak for the rest of this album. In general, Chris Rice is not my style. But Untitled Hymn is one of the most beautiful songs about faith I have ever heard. It won't (and is not meant to) stand up to the scrunity of those who disparage faith, but for the already convinced, it will be hard to find a sweeter song that more poignantly captures the journey of faith.
