For the Honor by Elevation Worship

For the Honor is the first live album from Elevation Worship, the music team of Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, released in 2011. Recorded live with the church, it gathers original songs written for that one body to sing. The title sets the heart of it, to give honour where it is due. I was drawn to its plain confidence, the sound of a young church finding its voice.

Why listen?

The sound is bright, modern worship, with big choruses and a strong band. The lead singers keep the words clear and the energy high. The production holds the room close while staying clean and full. There is a steady lift through the record from praise toward surrender. It is direct, singable music made for a crowd and for the car.

Favourite song: Give Me Faith

A quiet, pleading song about trust in hard seasons, built from a hush to a steady rise. It is the most honest moment here.

Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great
I'm broken inside, I give You my life
I may be weak, Your Spirit's strong in me
My flesh may fail, My God You never will

The way the song admits weakness before it asks for help makes the plea feel real rather than tidy. It reminds me of pausing on a steep path to gather breath and nerve before the next stretch. The track does not pretend the road is easy; it simply asks for the strength to keep walking it.

Key takeaway

For the Honor is a bright, singable worship record for fans of modern church music. A fair recommendation.
