God that Saves CD

Description

Comprised of songwriters and performers Stephen McWhirter, Joel Gerdis and Josh Glauber, Iron Bell Music is the fruition of worship nights held year-round for the community of Louisville at an area barn. Performing well-known worship songs along with their own originals throughout each evening gathering, the worship nights exist so that people can come as they are and encounter the presence of God. God That Saves was recorded live at the barn during one of those nights of worship.

Encompassing 11 original songs, the album's first single, 'God That Saves,' is written by McWhirter, and the song was inspired from his own personal testimony. After a long time of abusing drugs and eventually spiralling into a serious addiction, it was one life-changing evening where McWhirter encountered the Lord and was given a peace like no other. He shares, 'I fell to my knees in tears, gave my life to Christ, and quit everything. In that moment, I came to intimately know the God that saves, the One who restores, renews and redeems what seems impossible. This song is my story, but it's more than that. It's a song that adores the Lord and declares His name and nature, over every circumstance, as the God that saves.'

Through encouraging fellow worship leaders or inviting radio listeners to sing along, Iron Bell Music hopes their music can deeply reach all who encounter their music. 'We want the songs to literally cause breakthrough for people in their relationship with the Lord,' Gerdis shares. 'Whatever God's doing in us, we feel like it's a very authentic expression that we can lead other people into.'
