Twila Paris - Sanctuary

By Soozie4Him (Chicago suburbs)
This is a marvelous album from Twila Paris. It is very relaxing to listen to, and very uplifting.

Those of you who are familiar with Twila's praise and worship music will enjoy the instrumental versions of "We Bow Down", "Lamb of God", and "We Will Glorify". Her Spanish version of "He is Exalted" is wonderful!

The first track is instrumental and very very beautiful. My favorite track on this album is "Joy of the Lord" - what a gem this song is!

Oftentimes, people listen to the first half of a CD and never get around to listening to the last few songs. Make sure you enjoy this entire CD - "Keeper of the Door" is one of the best ones!

Twila is anticipating the arrival of her first child - check out her newest album (to be released on March 27, 2001) "Bedtime Prayers, Lullabies and Peaceful Worship". She wrote the songs on this album before she became pregnant! God bless you and your husband and your new little boy during this special time!

This album is my favorite of Twila's. The music is serene and sincere--perfect for quiet spiritual moments. The words are deep, almost a Bible study in themselves. "Lamb of God," is a a presentation of the plan of salvation--so simple and beautiful. My favorite song on this album is "Keeper of the Door." Any christian should make this anthem the theme of their life--to be a servant to others and dwell in the presence of God. The whole album flows well and has a reverent feel--a pleasure to listen to--this one is definately a keeper!...

Twila Paris Songs

What do the songs "He Is Exalted," "Lamb of God," and "We Will Glorify" have in common? They all appear in church hymnals across the globe, and people sing them every week during Sunday morning worship services. (Maybe you’re

one of those people.) But there’s something else that links these moving hymns together-they were all written by Twila Paris . . . and we have her father to thank for that.

When Twila was only 12, her dad, an accomplished musician and songwriter, assigned her the task of writing her first song. She was to carry on the family tradition of missions and music forwarded by her great grandparents (both traveling preachers), grandfather (a church planter), grandmother (a Christian songwriter), second cousin (founder of Youth With A Mission, or YWAM), and father (now head of YWAM’s Arkansas branch). Twila answered the call with vigor.

Since that first childhood song, Twila has become one of Christian music’s most revered artists. She has 14 albums to her credit, not to mention a best-of collection and her contribution to Billy Graham’s Global Mission Crusade, for which she wrote the theme song, "The Time Is Now." Her award history is impressive. She’s won five Dove Awards-Song of the Year (for "God Is In Control"), Female Vocalist of the Year (three consecutive times), and Praise & Worship Album of the Year (for Sanctuary)-and received many more honors from other sources in Christian music. But perhaps her most noteworthy accomplishment is the precious gift she’s given to the church. The gift of inspired worship music.

Twila’s definition of a good worship song is one that calls you into Christ’s presence. "A favorite of mine," she says in a CCM interview, "is ‘Lamb of God.’ It’s quieter, allows you to be still and know that He is God, and leads you to a place of worship. If you’re thinking about what you’re singing, it walks you through the message of atonement, who God is, and what He’s calling us to do in response to that." And Twila carries that message beyond the church sanctuary.

In addition to being a recording artist, Twila is a national spokeswoman for World Vision, a non-profit Christian humanitarian agency. She also lends her voice to YWAM’s world mission focus, following in the footsteps of her father.

Twila now lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with her husband, Jack Wright. When she’s not gardening or visiting the zoo, she’s composing songs while maneuvering her four-wheel-drive truck through the Ozark Mountain roads she’s known since childhood.
