us on the cross.
“My Testimony” follows suit musically as Chris
Brown enthusiastically sings about how the
sacrifice of Jesus rewrote the story of our lives.
The title track, “Graves Into Gardens” is the best
of the opening three and is a hope-filled, Zach
Williams-esque southern rocker about all the
ways that God shows his goodness to us and
how there is nothing better than our God. This
joyful anthem is sure to be sung in churches
across the planet as a hopeful response to
COVID-19 praising God for his mercy as we
see Him turning tragedy into triumph.
“What Would You Do?” features rising Gospel
artist Isaiah Templeton whose spirit-inspired
vocals shine on this creative look into the heart
of the Christian. The question he asks is simple;
“What would you do if Jesus walked into the
room?” But the answer is far more complex
than what we get at first listen as Templeton
reminds us of Christ’s immediate and real
presence in all of us and that we are called to
be Jesus to all people at all times.
“The Blessing” was the best cut of the more
tender moments of the album which tended
to run together with similar arrangements and
the female led tracks tended to sound the
same but overall this is a really great album by
Elevation Worship.
