I have been lis­ten­ing to some new music recently–prerelease music from EliEli’s new CD He Went That Way. The band is com­posed of three broth­ers from Saskatchewan–Stephen, Nathan, and Aaron Nasby. They have put together some beau­ti­ful new music in tra­di­tional, yet new styles–glorious instru­men­tal Celtic-tinged music inter­wo­ven with solid, God-honoring lyrics and the broth­ers’ com­plex vocal har­monies. My favorite song from the album is “I Am Called”–

I hear, I hear a voice out of heaven
I see the heaven’s open up
I see, I see the dove is descend­ing
A sign from God in whom He is well pleased

Chorus
And I am called to take another sim­ple step of obe­di­ence
An open wit­ness of my faith for you
So I will sink under­neath the waters to cru­cify the old man
And rise up from the waters anew

If by faith I have accepted
All my life I yield to you
If by exam­ple you say fol­low
Then by water I will prove

Chorus
That I am called to take another sim­ple step of obe­di­ence
An open wit­ness of my faith for you
So I will sink under­neath the waters to cru­cify the old man
And rise up from the waters anew

Repeat Chorus

Awesome bap­tismal hymn–Stephen said they sang it at his bap­tism. Unfortunately you won’t be able to get it on CD for some time yet, but you can see why I can’t wait to get the full CD if you lis­ten to this sam­ple from “I Am Called“
