Ascend on a Musical Journey to the Divine
by R. Dale Roth 2024-02-16

Imagine pressing play, and instantly, you're transported to a place where faith and melody dance together. The Red Rocks Essential Music Worship Team isn't holding back; they're taking worship music to a whole new level.
The vibe is a cool mix of contemporary Christian, pop, and a dash of indie folk. The team's musical skills shine through, with each member bringing something special to the table. From Tyler Roberts' chill acoustic guitar to Matt McKenzie keeping the beat on drums, its almost like the sound of heaven in your ears.

Those vocals. Tyler, Kory, Jes, and Jessi – they're like a dream team. Their voices blend so smoothly, creating a harmonious experience that feels like a big group hug.

Props to the unsung heroes – the instrumentalists. Matt on drums, Zach on bass, John on electric guitar, and Scott on keys – they're the architects behind the scenes, making it all come together.

A lot of worship albums aim for your ears, but 'Ascend' goes straight for the heart and soul.

The lyrics hit deep, touching on faith, doubt, and the whole human journey. It's like a musical GPS for your spirit, guiding you through moments of gratitude, hope, and devotion.

In a nutshell, "Ascend" is a spiritual joyride. The Red Rocks Church Worship Team again raising the bar, mixing genres, and delivering a worship experience that goes beyond the usual Sunday service.

As the last notes fade away, you're left feeling grateful for the journey. "Ascend" isn't just an invitation to lift your spirits; it's a call to connect with the divine, and receive a musical hug from the heavens.

Song by Song:

1. "Ascend": The starting line, and we're off! "Ascend" is like the launchpad; it sets the tone for the whole ride. Anthemic choruses and dreamy vibes – a strong start.

2. "Good Plans": Moving on to "Good Plans," you can feel the emotion. Kory Miller and Jes Parsons tag-teaming vocals bring depth, making it a real feel-good jam.

3. "Miracle in Me": Jessi Robertson takes the mic in "Miracle in Me." It's all about self-worth and empowerment, and her voice is like a warm hug.

4. "No Name": Things get contemplative with "No Name." Stripped-down and soulful, Zach Hartgraves on bass sets the mood for some introspection.

5. "Can't Get Enough": Now, let's pump it up with "Can't Get Enough." John Meding's electric guitar adds a punch, making it a track you can't help but groove to.

6. "There's No Way": Get ready for some heart with "There's No Way." Jes Parsons leads the way, creating a beautiful atmosphere of faith and sincerity.

7. "What a Gift": "What a Gift" is a sweet acknowledgment of gratitude. Jessi Robertson's vocals, combined with Scott Miller's keys, make it a touching moment.

8. "Only You Are Holy": Tyler Roberts steps up in "Only You Are Holy." The sincerity in his voice, backed by Matt McKenzie's rhythm, creates a sacred vibe.

9. "Hope of the World": Climbing towards the climax with "Hope of the World." Kory Miller's vocals shine as the whole team builds up to a triumphant ending.

10. "Good Plans / Doxology": Wrapping it up with a mashup of "Good Plans" and the timeless "Doxology." It's like a musical hug goodbye, leaving you in a reflective mood.
