The Right Time For Reba McEntire’s Sing It Now! Songs of Faith and Hope

The timing is so right for Reba McEntire’s new album Sing It Now! Gospel Songs of Life and Hope. These seem to be newly written songs and arrangements of other songs by other writers. It is so great and the spirit of grace is in the air. The overall message and tone of the album is “Come back to God in all seriousness and receive his grace.” His grace is for Him and for you to have. Reba’s first song “Back to God,” hints at the fact that we are all worth saving. We must keep on praying. There are many people that have been hurt and need God. This song sets the tone for the entire album. “Pray for Peace” is a repetitive, meditative song that implores us to pray for a peace that only God can provide in our world.

She mixes newer songs with older classics in the Christian community of songs like “Oh Happy Day,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” “Amazing Grace,”  “Jesus Loves Me,” “Meanwhile Back At The Cross” and many others. It is definitely one to keep for the books. Many of the songs outline the world that we live in today, marred by sin, trampled by anger, stress and worry. It really is not a safe world. We are living in constant fear everyday as things take us by surprise. We need all the hope that we could get. This may be a particularly long album, but it does more than cover the basses of Christian culture while still maintaining that classic country twang. Buy this album if you are in need of some hope. The hope of the album tries to restore faith in our humanity in the years coming up ahead. You won’t regret the purchase.
