I preordered on Amazon, but it seems they're only gonna post it today, so it'll take at least three weeks to get here. Patience required...
I've listened to the album about a dozen times now, and I must say, I miss Bob Hartman's hard hitting Bible based lyrics. While "Beyond Belief" has now appeared on 4 albums (including the widely panned Double Take), hearing this updated version feels like an old friend stopping by for a visit. Maybe I was hoping for too much in a Petra/Whiteheart supergroup, but I think that The Greater Cause>The Union of Sinners & Saints' self-titled album.HudsonPethead wrote:Does anyone have the lyrics of the songs, please!

If the Newsboys didn't unfurl, we probably wouldn't have Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil.dihigo wrote:Is it just me, or is The Union of Sinners & Saints really set on "unfurling banners"? Both "Brother to Brother" and "Independence Day" use that same reference.
To each his (her) own. Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm glad to have something new by John!sue d. wrote:To furl or not to furl.. that is the question.

Oh, no way - not even close!
That third song ("???????") is "Let the Kingdom Come" by Whiteheart which lets us know that John is covering more than just "Independence Day."HudsonPethead wrote:Videos:
