Album Of The Day: Resurrection Letters Vol. 1 by Andrew Peterson

Album Art of Andrew Peterson's Resurrection Letters Vol. 1 album - On a dark red background that kinda looks like an old red book cover and has decorative gold lines framing the edge, it says the artist name in gold letters across the top, and in the middle in gold is the album's title. Around the title is a series of illustrations, with the dark red background and the color of white and gold. On the top row is a picture of the Temple with a darkened sun in front of it, then a golden heart that is glowing on an arrow and shooting up to heaven, and then a city in the clouds. On each side of the title is a golden cup, the left one burning and the right one sitting with bread and grapes next to it. On the bottom is the large stone wall and the round stone in front of the tomb, in the middle a golden sprout of a flower or tree with a bit of roots showing, and the temple wall with people standing at its base. On a gold banner across the bottom, it says 'Christ has died', 'Christ is risen' and 'Christ will come again'.

"Christ has died / Christ is risen / Christ will come again!" Released 8 years ago this past week, this is Andrew Peterson's tenth studio album. Released nearly 10 years after the Resurrection Letters Vol. II album that was released without a first volume, this album is a fitting first volume even though it was unwritten for years. Like the Prologue EP released shortly before this, it tells the story of Jesus and his followers as they go through these turbulent times; this time it's jubilant celebration and realization that God had foretold these fantastic happenings. Many Christians may have heard the song "Is He Worthy?" from this album, but there's so much more in these 9 tracks that is worth listening to. "His Heart Beats" and "Risen Indeed" speak to the surprise and delight of Jesus's resurrection, and "Maybe Next Year" connects the Jewish longing to meet in the holy city of Jerusalem with the idea of being with Jesus in the New Jerusalem someday. "All Things Together" triumphantly closes out this album with a celebration of God's awesome power making our world meaningful. It's an excellent album of songs celebrating the Easter miracle.
