Rejoice! is a group that has been around for a while now and this female trio is a talented one.  I believe I first met the group at NQC in 2001 and I have been a fan since.  The group is talented and their latest project is simply outstanding!

"Let It Rain" is the title song and the upbeat start to this project!  The song asks the Lord to rain His Blessings down on us!  "Grace" is the next song and I believe that is a song that has been recorded by other groups.  Regardless of that, the song has a good message and I enjoyed their version.  Rejoice!, in my view, has always been one of the best group's at delivering the fast, traditional songs.  "God Is Good" is one such song and I love this song!  The message is obvious, God Is Good, but the delivery of this song makes it exceptional.  "Everything" is written by one of my favorite writers that you may not know.  Patti Hawkins is an exceptional writer and this song, co-written with Kevin Stokes, shows that exceptional talent with a beautiful song of how God gives us everything.

"The Book" picks up that pace once again and I love the smooth harmonies from Rejoice! on this song.  "I Will Carry You" is another outstanding song that reminds us that God will carry us through any trial that we face.  The next song was written in 1995 according to the credits on the CD jacket but I don't recall ever hearing it before.  "There Is A God" is an upbeat song that is very enjoyable.  "Preach The Word" is the next song and it challenges each of us as Christians to get out there and preach the Word, wherever you are!

"Under His Wings" is a beautiful song with an equally beautiful message.  I believe this is the same song recorded by the Ruppes several years ago and it was great to hear this great song again.  "Who Is He In Yonder Stall" is another beautiful, slow melody.  "Tell The Storm" was written by Gary Castro and Barbara Huffman and this song is a great source of hope for anyone who faces a storm in their life.  It reminds us that we can tell our storms that God is in control!  What a great message.  The final song on this project is a slow one titled "Rest In Me."  It is a simple prayer asking the Lord to rest in us.

Rejoice! has long been a favorite group of mine.  This talented ladies trio has terrific harmony and an ability to deliver songs that few groups have achieved.  This project has twelve songs that are a great mixture of the known songs and the unknown songs.  I enjoyed them all but my favorites were "Everything," "God Is Good" and "Under His Wings."  Rejoice! is a group that has been turning out great projects for years so that makes "Let It Rain" another in a long list.  If you enjoy great harmony and solid Southern Gospel singing, this project is for you!  For more information on Rejoice!, visit www.rejoicetrio.com.
