Paid In Full (Columbus, GA)
August 24th, 2008
Seeing these men at NQC last year was just a teaser, so when Paid In Full finally got within my territory, I was delighted to make the trip to see them! (As you’ll probably know, Paid In Full was the winner of the Horizon Group of the year from the Singing News Awards last year and they got to sing their hit song “What the Storm Does Not Know” on the main stage. )
It was rather a stormy afternoon and evening thanks to Hurricane Fay, but the Glenn Anthony Baptist Church was a dry and comfy setting for a concert on Saturday, Aug. 23. I was delighted that they performed so many of the songs from their new hymns album “Sounds of Faith.” I’ve really been enjoying the CD with its wonderful arrangements of some favorite hymns. One of the things I particularly like about their style is that after a singer is featured on the first verse of a song, then they add only one more voice on the second and then eventually add the third part. They sure do have a beautiful blend and a somewhat country sound due mostly to the instrumentation of their tracks.
Here’s what they sang:
- I’ll Meet You On the Mountain
- Are You Washed in the Blood
- New Shoes
- What the Storm Does Not Know
- Green Pastures
- Heavenly Parade
- My Soul Goal
- Higher Ground
- What a Friend We Have In Jesus
- The Love of God
- Unclouded Day
- Sailing Toward Home
- More Than Amazing
- Our First Day in Heaven
- It Won’t Be Long
- The Old Rugged Cross
- I Could Sing About Heaven
I had the trusty digital camera busy getting some videos, too, so here’s what I’ve put together on youtube:
Paid In Full is going to be at Dollywood on Oct. 12 and 13 for the Gospel and Harvest Celebration so make your plans now to go and see them!
