CD Review: The Journey (Brothers Forever)

  • 11 January 2012

Brothers Forever recently put together a CD to give a glimpse into their journey the past few years. With songs from previous recordings (By Request, Sheltered, and Side by Side: Live in Illinois), this is a definitely a “Best of” collection.

I love this group for their worship songs so it was perfect that they chose “You Alone Are Worthy” to begin the CD.

Gary Ballew sings lead on “God is Good,” the song the Gaither Vocal Band made popular a while back.

Next is their signature song, “I Feel a Blessing Coming On.”

Curtis Hagy sings “I Am Him,” the story of the Samaritan woman who found Jesus.

“More Than That” talks about how God is so much more than anything we can say. His mercy and grace knows no end. He’s so much “more than that.”

When I’m discouraged, I sometimes turn on “You Are Loved” and feel God’s arms around me. It’s a great reminder that God loves me no matter what I’ve done or what I’m going through.

“Whenever I Speak His Name” is another worship song that Gary sings.

“What More Could He Have Done” talks about what Christ went through, leaving Heaven to come to earth and be persecuted and crucified. “What more could He do to save our dying soul?” I’m so thankful for everything Christ has done for me.

“I Can’t Forget the Day” is an uptempo song remembering the day “my burdens rolled away.”

It’s hard to choose a favorite song on this project but the one that is probably at the top of my list is “My Home.” I’ve played this song a lot this past year as I find myself longing for Home more these days.

Other songs include: “The Lighthouse,” “Rest Assured,” “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power,” and “He Saw it All.”

    Wonderful bunch of guys ! Great harmony not only in singing but spiritually . They have come twice to our church and have been a great blessing to us both times and plan on having them come again and again . They are the kind of guys you wouldnt mind coming and staying in your home. I have not only become great friends but Brothers Forever.

    Brothers Forever lives what they sing about. I am blessed to call them friends of mine. The songs on this album are definitely some of their best work. The buyer of this album will not be disappointed!

      Thank you for your comments. I’ve not had the opportunity to see Brothers Forever in concert outside of YouTube but I’m definitely watching their schedule. Michael, I agree with you about this being some of their best work to date. I pray God continues to use them for many years to come.

        I wanted to mention too that you’re welcome to share the review on Facebook if you wish. I don’t know if your friends would also be familiar with Brothers Forever but it could be a way to give them a plug.
