Much love and respect has to go to the local worship leader who, instead of defaulting to the “easy out” of simply copying and pasting the top songs on the CCLI chart into his Sunday morning set list, instead sets out to use his talents and reflect the heart of the community of which he’s a part. It’s this kind of determination, this kind of passion, which leads to true worship. It’s also the heartbeat of an artist like Eddy Mann.
That heart colors the whole of Mann’s Something Beautiful & New. Mann’s lyrics are consistently vertical, offering praise to the King while, in his own words, focusing “on the tolerance and inclusiveness that can be found in a life of abundant love.
Eddy Mann is clearly a dedicated man of faith and an artistic one at that...
[excerpts] Andrew Greenhalgh, Soul Audio
Recording began in August of 2010 after the completion of "The Twelve" and finished in March of 2011. The songs were written and recorded in a time of physical concern which was followed by a period of spiritual growth. Whenever life reminds us of how fragile it is, we usually walk away with a clearer picture of our purpose. That was the case for me, and I stand a bit stronger now having walked through my valley.
As always there was much prayer and meditation over the conception and eventual completion of this project. My prayer is that it touches the hearts and minds of those who are on the path, and opens the gates of those who are struggling to find their way.
We are a new generation speaking in every tongue
Spreading across the nations reborn in faith forever young
Forever young
Forever young
We're coming alive in the spirit singing anew what our elders sung
Coming of age with the Savior's word in faith forever young
We're singing a new song of praise, living a new life of glory
Awakened, unshaken with faith forever young
Awakened, unshaken with faith forever young
All are welcome every color and creed
All are welcome whatever your need
So rise up and praise the King
Lift your voice to Him and sing
All glory to the risen One
To the Savior, God's own Son
Are all welcome to hear His voice
All are welcome to shout and rejoice
All are welcome to hear His word
All are welcome to share what you heard
All are welcome here
All are welcome here
Are all welcome as sister and brother
All are welcome as one another
All are welcome across the land
All are welcome God's Kingdom's at hand
You are good, and Your goodness prevails
I am broken, You are healing
I'm repenting and prayerfully kneeling
You are good, and Your goodness prevails
It's a good, good world You made
It's a shame the mess I've made
You're a good, good, God to me
How You take my life, and show mercy on me
Good has the first word, and good has the last
Good will overcome like it has in the past
You are good, and Your goodness prevails
Without love I am nothing
Without love
It doesn't matter what I believe
It doesn't matter what I receive
Without love I am nothing
Without love
People of God let's go, let's make a better way
People of God let's go, let's not get in the way
Creator, liberator, reconciler
We live for You
Right here, Right now
Lead us to Your peaceable kingdom
No more others, just one another
All sisters and brothers in the peaceable kingdom [2x]
Make this into a peaceable kingdom
Let's all make this into a peaceable kingdom

Something
Beautiful & New
Words and Music ©2010 Eddy Mann
Hear my honest heart put forth the truth
It's time I took a stand
I know my path's not always straight
I wander on my own
I long to rest upon the word
That always brings me home
Hear my soul cry out to You
Feel my heart reveal it's shame
Create in me something beautiful and new
I pray this in Your name
I'm on a journey to understand
My discipleship to You
Grant me wisdom, guide me
To create something beautiful and new
Kelly Graber - vocals
Let my integrity and uprightness preserve me
For I wait on You
Let my honesty and forthrightness sustain me
For I wait on You
No bending my ways for the favor of men
No hiding who I am
Kelly Graber - vocals
Unconditional love
Pouring down from above
Try as I may, I'm short by the end of each day
But another sun will rise, to wash away the tears from my eyes
As evening draws near, my imperfections are clear
But morning will wake, to wash away yesterdays mistake
A heart that beats true, has only one thing to do
Pray a prayer of thanks, and praise the God of rescue
Bring It All
Words and Music ©2010 Eddy Mann, Scott Merrill
I pour my love out, bearing no shed of doubt
My worship’s only for You
Only for You do I bring it all
Only for You do I bring it all
Take my offering, my all for my great King
My praises only for You
My breath is Yours Lord, the cross is my reward
My worship’s only for You
Open the floodgates of heaven
Pour out Your blessings on me
Only for You do I bring it all
I come before You humbly
Scott
Merrill - acoustic guitar
With hands that are freeing
With eyes that are seeing
With feet that are carrying a heart that's beating
With listening ears
A smile that dries tears
A word of encouragement that calms and removes fears
It's what we were created to do
God give us the strength to be like you
Everything we do must be done with love
People need affirmation
They need caring attention
They need loving affection
So be humble, and gentle, and patient in love

[excerpts] Andrew Greenhalgh, Soul Audio
The follow up to "The Twelve" is a project that focuses
on the tolerance and inclusiveness that can be found in a life of abundant
love. Through this love the aim is that we can learn to touch people
emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Recording began in August of 2010 after the completion of "The Twelve" and finished in March of 2011. The songs were written and recorded in a time of physical concern which was followed by a period of spiritual growth. Whenever life reminds us of how fragile it is, we usually walk away with a clearer picture of our purpose. That was the case for me, and I stand a bit stronger now having walked through my valley.

Lord, may this work bring You pleasure.
