Hold Me Near by Enter The Worship Circle

Released: May 21, 2008

 

 

Karla Adolphe is the featured artist!  While Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 featured Ben Pasley and Aaron Strumpel, respectively, and their own guitar styles, this album takes a decidedly different turn with a powerhouse female lead who plays both guitars and piano in this much awaited third album in the series.

This album is a 16 song ride on the passionate voice and beautiful perspective.  All the songs are written and performed with one instrument in a small studio space in the mountains of Colorado. The content follows the Worship Circle’s commitment to plagiarize the Psalms, but Karla’s mix of melancholy personal journey and soaring vision of God as Father of a family is an especially stirring combination.

Hold me near you, when i am restless
Hold me near you, when i am bitter
Hold me near you, when i'm rebellious
Hold me near until the end

Hold me near you, when my heart is broken
Hold me near you, when i'm ignorant
Hold me near you, when i am jealous
Hold me near until the end

But as for me, my feet almost gave up,
I nearly sold my heart
It's good to be held by my father,
Its good to be where you are ...
