Church Volume Two by Jesus Culture

Church Volume Two is the 2020 companion to the first volume, again recorded live by Jesus Culture with a congregation present. It finishes the two part project the band built around the gathered church. The theme moves toward freedom, courage and keeping your eyes up when life presses down.

Why listen?

The set carries the same warm, full sound as the first volume, with the collective's worship leaders sharing the lead. The production stays close to the live room, so the crowd is part of the texture. The words speak of being unafraid, of promise, and of freedom on its way. There is a steady build across the songs from struggle toward release. It is plain, singable worship with little wasted effort.

Favourite song: Freedom Is Coming

A patient, rising song that holds out hope without rushing it. The room grows louder as the promise takes hold.

Freedom is coming
Woah, I can feel it in the air
Woah, freedom is coming
Woah, my deliverer is here
Woah, freedom is coming
Woah, I can feel it in the air
Woah, freedom is coming
Woah, my deliverer is here

The slow climb of that refrain feels like the last stretch of a long climb, when the summit is near but not yet reached. The song trades weariness for a stubborn expectation. That waiting hope is what I carry away from it.

Key takeaway

Church Volume Two closes the set with songs of freedom and courage. A fitting companion to the first volume.
