Songs of faith in a fallen world

Garage Hymnal has followed up their debut album with Bring on the Day, a collaborative worship project which explores the Christian response to suffering in a fallen world. The collection of songs draws on the “now but not yet” theme of dealing with tragedy in the knowledge that God’s promised kingdom is yet to be fulfilled.

This theme is woven throughout the album, with a plea to God for deliverance in ‘How Long?’ and ‘Call for Mercy’, coupled with the assurance of His faithfulness in ‘Father Mercy’ and ‘Promises’. Two rock anthems, ‘Bring on the Day’ and ‘Come Lord’, call for the speeding on of the day of judgment and salvation. A new version of the classic hymn by Horatio Spafford, ‘It is Well’, completes the album; the hymn writer’s tragic story serving as a powerful reminder to trust in God in all of life’s situations – good and bad.

Continuing the spirit of collaboration from their first album (Take My Life, 2006), Garage Hymnal are joined this time around by an exciting line-up of special guests. Highlights include the Doxa Music Gospel Choir from Zambia, who bring their deep, soulful sounds to the gentle R&B lament ‘How Long’ and the pop/gospel prayers ‘It Is Well’ and ''Call For Mercy''.

Some top Aussie bands make an appearance too. Chris Collins (Planet of the Stereos) lends his passionate vocals to the energetic anthem ''Bring on the Day'' as well as the lush acoustic guitar driven ''Till Your Time''. And the boys from Revive (Dave Hanbury and Tyler Hall) and The Valley (Tim Glastonbury) also make return appearances, pumping their trademark rock/pop energy into songs like the infectious pop/rock ''Promises''.

Originally formed as the Sydney University Evangelical Union’s 2004 annual conference band, Garage Hymnal were quickly overwhelmed by the need for evangelical worship leaders in Sydney. Since then they pursued their goal of serving the church through music, encouraging thousands at student conventions, conferences, concerts and churches to “sing with us”. Their last album was well received by both the Christian and secular media, and they were finalists in the 2006 secular MusicOz awards for independent artists.

So why the name? Band founder Andy Judd explains: “For us the great hymns set the standard of what powerful words and powerful music sung together can be like. We aspire to be like Spafford, Watts or Toplady, who put their own powerful experiences of faith into the great songs which have given comfort and encouragement to generations of believers.”
