For Your Glory – Trip Lee and BRAG Worship
*** ½
The latest from Trip Lee (pastor, author, rapper) is For Your Glory, comes from his new collective BRAG Worship. I’ve long enjoyed Lee’s music, teaching and books. This worship project is different from anything you’ve heard from him, and it’s very good.
The eight song EP is comprised of easy-going R&B sounds, with memorable choruses and samples a few classic hymns. Lee co-wrote and co-produced each song.
Here are a few brief comments about each song:

Jesus Paid It All – Tommee Profitt and CeCe Winans
One of my favorite songs from the excellent new album The Resurrection of a King by Tommee Profitt is “Jesus Paid It All”, featuring CeCe Winans. Watch the video for the song here.
[Verse 1]
I hear the Savior say
“Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all”
[Verse 2]
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’rs and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone
[Chorus]
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
[Verse 3]
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb
[Chorus]
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
[Bridge]
And when, before the throne
Before the throne
I stand in Him complete
I stand in Him complete
“Jesus died my soul to save”
Thank You, Jesus
My lips shall still repeat
Hey
[Outro]
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
