Album Of The Day: The Road To OneDay by Passion

Album Art of Passion's The Road To OneDay album - At the bottom, a photo of a large crowd of young people, mosdtly with their eyes closed, heads looking up, and some with hands raised in the air. In the middle, semi-transparent, is a few more people with hands clasped together prayerfully or with hands raised, and they look like they're singing. The picture at the bottom continues to be the background, with a woods and the blue sky stretching across the album cover. In the middle, an orange circle with 3 scoop edges has a red, italic 'p' inside it, and on top of it is written the album title, with 'oneday' being bigger than the rest, and 'one' is much more bolder than 'day'. At the top, 'passion' is written in lowercase in a very soft white transparent of the rest of the sky and the orange circle.

For nearly 30 years now, pastor Louie Giglio has put on Passion Conferences that gathered young, mostly college-aged Christians from across America and the world. In the spring of 2000, they had a very big event planned called OneDay 2000. Released 25 years ago tomorrow, this is the first studio album from Passion, the modern worship collective that usually records live at the conference events. This was released in preparation for their OneDay event as a way to get those attending some new music to prepare with. Like on many of their live albums, it contained a mix of original, new songs by the Passion worship leaders, plus covers of other worship songs written by people like Martin Smith (delirious?) and Paul Oakley and performed by the Passion team. It is fun to hear the Passion crew in a studio setting, and Producer Nathan Nockels does a good job adding some of those touches you don't usually get from a live recording like strings and programming. I love the instrumental interlude before Christy Nockels sings "Holy Roar", and it's kinda fun to hear Matt Redman sing "Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?" If you want to hear some of the best of the early days before modern worship took over Christian music, this is a good snapshot of it.
