COREY VOSS & MADISON STREET WORSHIP
Heaven Come Closer
which Voss, co-wrote with Matt Redman,
Joshua Silverberg and Jason Scooter. This
worship opener is a wonderful musical journey
describing where our hearts should be as we
venture to meet Jesus during our times of
worship. Interestingly enough, “Let there Be
Wonder” is also the title cut of Redman’s latest
release.

Corey Voss began leading worship at Gateway
Church in Shelbyville eight years ago for an
intimate group of 65 or so worshipers. Since
then the little town in Tennessee has seen
an incredible revival in Jesus with Gateway
swelling to more than 1,000 members a week
and Voss’ song writing and worship collective
have played a major role in reaching people
for Jesus. His third full length release, Heaven
Come Closer is a step up both in writing and
delivery of genuine, heartfelt worship compared
to his first two albums.
Most familiar among this group of 10 songs
(plus two reprisals) is “Let there Be Wonder”
“Miracle in Motion” is a sublime and intimate
call for Jesus to work within His people right
where we are while reminding us that He still
moves mountains and performs signs of His
wonder among us. Utilizing the chorus of the
hymn “My Hope is Built,” the Olivia Calderwood
Bush-led “Solid Rock (Hell or High Water)” is
a gorgeous affirmation of the faithfulness of
Jesus, sung with raw emotion and vulnerability.
Harely Rowell’s full and silky tenor takes over the
leadership in what is my favorite song not just of
the album but maybe of 2020 so far. The hope
filled “Look What God Has Done” powerfully
reminds us that God is always present and
has been more than enough through fire, flood,
sadness and despair throughout history and
remains the same for us today. The bridge is
powerful and declarative as Rowell proclaims;
“There is no name that’s greater, greater, the
One who saves, He reigns forever, Jesus.” This
is such an important song for the body of Christ
to be singing at this moment in the midst of fear
and uncertainty.
Voss has certainly matured both as a
songwriter, performer and leader and it speaks
volumes on this record. Even though I would
have appreciated a musical break amongst the
far-to-many power ballads on this collection,
I appreciated the female leadership of Voss’
team which gave the album many different
musical layers to enjoy. There are some
really great songs I can’t wait to teach my
congregation when we all get back together for
corporate worship.
1. The God of The Sea And Stars
2. He Is Our Refuge
3. I Have a Shelter
4. Set My Eyes On You
5. Love, You Never Let Me Go
6. Jesus, Lover Of My Soul
7. It Is Well
8. Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us
(Blessed Jesus)
9. All I Have Is Christ
10. In Feast Or Fallow
