Over The Grave
Over the Grave is a radical re-envisioning of the hymns of Isaac Watts, entirely written, recorded, and performed by members of Sojourn Community Church.
Since planting in 2000, Sojourn has been a creative and vibrant community, writing and recording songs for 6 records. The latest record began as an exploration of the hymns of Isaac Watts (1674-1748), who is widely regarded as the father of the English hymn. Using his texts as source material,the songwriters re-crafted them into modern worship songs.
The result is an eclectic and vibey record that ranges from 1970’s era rock to modern indie pop, incorporating a host of sounds and moods not often heard in worship music – almost like a Sgt. Pepper’s for worship. Because of the richness of Watts’s texts, they not only hit the listener hard musically, but lyrically as well.
