Title: Faith And Devotions Of A Satellite Heart / The Violet Burning
Subtitle: The Violet Burning

Description
Faith And Devotions Of A Satellite Heart is a progressive collection of new Worship songs.

The Violet Burning once again set the pace for the church and for worshippers worldwide in intimacy, passion, and creativity. Review: You know the feeling that you get when you’re deep in the center of worship? Where the music stops and you’re just totally lost in a spiritual place of complete peace and rest and joy and hope? Where you’re certain that you’ve never been more in the presence of God than you are at that very moment? Usually, for me anyway, that state of being only comes during intense quiet times or in a small group of worshippers where there are no distractions and special attention is placed on just simply worshipping God. However, once in a while it happens when I least expect it. When I hear a song that moves me to tears or speaks a powerful truth about God’s wonderful heart and character. I could be in my car, I could be at work, or I could even be sitting down to review a CD. Listening to The Violet Burning’s latest, I find myself often inspired to raise my hands, or close my eyes or just simply let the power of the words wash over me. Mike Pritzl, lead vocalist and songwriter for The Violets, started his musical career as a worship leader, penning classics like “The Blood Of Jesus”, which is reprised here with eloquent gracefulness, and other Vineyard songs of worship. However, he’s devoted much of his musical career to the writing insightful and painfully honest songs about his faith in Christ in the Christian Alternative Rock arena. However, leading and singing and writing worship songs is what Mike Pritzl was created for, and these ten songs of worship are fine exhibits of his true calling fulfilled. Just hearing the songs on this disc, you can sense that Pritzl is doing what he does best. On “Nobody Else” when you hear him sing, “You held me as a child/ Touched me when I was dying/ Kissed me when I was blind/ Breathe in me your life/ Clean me when I’m dirty/ Make my heart your home/ Come down from your throne/ For there is nobody else who is like You…” and no matter where you are, you’ll feel the urge to stop, and sing, and agree, and join in the worship. Again, on the song “Forty Wait” when he sings, “Your love is forever/ And your mercy is forever/ Your love is higher than the heavens/ I reach up, I reach up/ I wait for you to hear me/ Won’t you come just a little bit closer?/ Your love is deeper than the oceans/ I go down, I still breathe/ And wait for you to fill me up” there is the sense that something powerful is taking place below the surface of those words. Without a doubt, for this reviewer, the best song here is “All Right” where Pritzl bares his soul and lets us join with him as he says, “When my heart is sad/ When my soul is weary/ I go to Jesus, Jesus/ I go down upon my knees/ Lord take all of these things/ That separate us/ It’s all right/ Here in Your arms/ Your love is all around me/ It’s all right/ When you call my name/ I know you are near me/ Holding me now/ O God, I need You.” What I’ve neglected to talk about, to this point, is the incredible muscianship here. The Violet Burning are easily one of the best bands I’ve ever heard, live or on tape. Yes, they can rock with the best of them. Yes, it’s like hearing Delirious for the first time. Yes, this album has already been nominated for a top album award in the UK. Yes, yes, yes. But, what I’d hate for anyone to miss here is the worship. Because, that’s the most remarkable thing of all.
