Faithful is the title of Pam Thum's new release from Benson. The second album from this relatively new artist combines quality contemporary Christian music with clear, articulate lyrics. The theme throughout the project is encouraging the Christian to be steadfast and faithful.
The album starts off with a soulful, lively tune, "Faithful Heart." and leads into an upbeat dance tune, "Love Conquers All." Next is an urgent plea to the listener, "Will You Come To Jesus?" An irregular rhythm makes the music stand out on "By The Grace Of His Love." "Candle Burning," a pleasant tune, reveals the responsibility of the Christian to show forth God's love to the outside world. A heartening tune that moves to an upbeat cadence is, "No Shadows, No Doubts." Featuring part of the Lord's prayer is "The Power, Kingdom, and Glory." Because of the familiar words, you are drawn to the message in this song. Another kickoff from an old hymn is "See You In The Morning." Its theme draws on the hope of seeing our loved ones again after death. The last two selections, "Innocence Of Heart" and "Holding Me" hold true to the album theme by lifting up the Christian. "Innocence Of Heart" tells us to be a bold witness and not give into the pressure from the world. "Holding Me" is a slow, powerful song that gives us the assurance of our Father's everlasting presence.
Being a first time listener to a Pam Thum project, I was very impressed. The songs are optimistic, having variety with an obvious message of God's love. Thum's voice reminds one of Amy Grant's alto sound, clear and strong. I believe this album will bring Pam Thum to the forefront of Christian music and an opportunity to introduce a greater audience to Christ.
