Joseph Habedank is perhaps best known for his songwriting abilities having written numerous hit songs for several different Southern Gospel artists.  However, Joseph is also an accomplished singer and is currently ministering with a flourishing solo ministry.  Joseph's latest project includes ten great songs, all of them co-written by Joseph.

The project kicks off with the upbeat title cut and "Welcome Home" is a wonderful song and a great start to this project. The up-tempo melodies continues with "Begging For Change."  What a cool song and a great play on words!  The project talks about begging for the kind of change that only Jesus can bring!  Things slow down as we catch our breath with the beautiful song, "Big Enough."  The song reminds us that God is big enough to help us no matter what we might face.

"Never No Never" is song with a terrific message about how God never forsakes His children!  I love the song and the message is right on point for the Christian today. The next song brings a special guest on board in Gospel Legend, Russ Taff.  The former member of the Imperials and Gaither Vocal Band joins Joseph on "Empty" and the two deliver an epic performance!  "The Beauty Of The Blood" is just an outstanding song in every way.  It talks about the power of the Blood of Jesus and the beauty that we as Christians find in that same Blood.  "Wonders With Water" is a catchy tune that will having you taking notice right away.  It talks of all of the miracles that God worked and continues to work with water so just imagine what He could do with your tears!  What an awesome thought and what a great song.

Joseph has an amazing way of putting lyrics together and he proves it again with "Now I Know Him." It talks of how we know God in the good times but once you go through a trial with God, you will know Him like you never knew Him before.  "A Little Bit Of Thunder" is one of those songs that just gets up and goes!  It is a wonderful song saying that we have no reason to be scared of a little bit of thunder when we have Jesus Christ as our Savior!  The final song on this project is "When The Lights Go Down" and it is a beautiful song that is a perfect ending to this great project!

Joseph Habedank is, without a doubt, one of the most talented writers in Southern Gospel today. He is also an incredible singer as this project proves many, many times.  My favorite sings from this project are "Begging For Change," "The Beauty Of The Blood" and "Now I Know Him."  The entire project is well produced, well orchestrated and the vocal presentations are excellent in every way.  I highly recommend it if you enjoy great Southern Gospel Music.  For more information on Joseph, visit his website at www.josephhabedank.com.
