Until the Whole World Hears album (2009)
May 20th
This is the fourth studio album fifth overall by the American Christian Rock band Casting Crowns. It was released in November 17, 2009 by Beach Street/Reunion in the U.S and in the Philippines on January 2010 via Sony Music Entertainment. It includes hits like, “Until The Whole World Hears” and another hit “If We’ve ever Needed You”.
The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 2oo in the all genre album category of music. It sold 167432 copies that week, making it the largest selling debut by a Christian artist. The album was certified gold within four weeks. At mid 2010 the album had sold over 600000 copies.
The title of the album comes from a signature line in an e-mail from Roger Glidewell, Mark’s mentor student in ministry. Their hooky pop/rock melodies and made-for-church worship lyrics have maintained a great audience; the band has always mixed other musical schemes, making their success more of a miracle.
“Until the Whole World Hears” tries to up the musical ante a bit with mix of some poetic lyrics and good flow of words. They have added some electric guitar bits that bring out a real rock vibe; this is emphasized by a backing chorus that will become a perfect sing-along for live audiences. “If We’ve Ever Needed You” and “Always Enough” are inspirational anthems, admitting that the world and the people really need a savior. Many reviewers still think that most of the tracks suffer from “Crowns Cliché Syndrome,” using lyrical Christian-ese to produce the right rhymes that seem hard-pressed to energize a ready-to-worship crowd, but that is for you the listener to find out and judge for yourself.
However Christians around the world think that messages in the album is Gods way of communication.
The album has 12 tracks in total.
- Until the Whole world hears
- If we’ve Ever Needed you
- Always enough
- Joyful ,Joyful
- At your Feet
- Glorious Day (Leaving he Loved me)
- Holly One
- To know You
- Mercy
- Jesus Hold Me now
- Blessed Redeemer
- Hidden Track: Show Your Wings

Nigerian Christian songs
Apr 18th
The idea of singing songs of praise is a well-established idea in the country of Nigeria. Historically, songs of praise were song to whatever god(s) the natives believed in, and oftentimes were sung to revel in a rainstorm after a period of drought, or to honor a local ruler who had died.
With the introduction of Christianity to Nigeria, many of these praise songs were simply transformed to now worship God. Many praise and worship songs still use traditional instruments, such as drums or horns, and, no matter what language they were sung in originally, it is common to hear the worship songs sung in all the local languages. Nigerian custom allows for praise and worship songs to be sung in different places and at different times. The most common are family songs that can be heard being sung in the morning and evening. They are introduced at a young age and are very popular with children, to ask God for guidance and protection. Many Nigerian praise songs are sung at weddings to ask God for his blessing on a newlywed couple. There are also Nigerian Christian songs sung as worship at church. Some popular ones include “Joy, Joy, Joy” and “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.”
A very popular example of an album filled with Nigerian praise music is the CD “Fountain of Praise”, which features three of Nigeria’s best known worship leaders: Wale Adenuga, Bob Fitts, and Kunle Aja. The CD features a mixture of well-known worship songs and local language songs. It is very common in Nigerian Christian songs for the same songs to be remade by other groups, oftentimes just a short time after they were originally released. This has led to some minor controversy, as well as lyrics in contemporary Nigerian Christian songs that seem to glorify things outside of Nigeria.
That being said, there is no denying the power and popularity of Nigerian praise songs. There is a Facebook page devoted to Nigerian Christian music and many mp3s are available for download on the Internet. Nigerian people are uncomplicated and really love singing simple praise songs that worship God in adoration. For a gosepl music fan, listening to these Nigerian praise songs can provide a welcome change from the usual, and get back to the heart of worship: praising God.
