Into These Rooms

Sarah's latest collection is an intimate self-portrait, a musical window offering glimpses into the rooms of her life, each of them containing, she says, "a little part of me." It's a rare and wonderful opportunity to get to know this charming, spirited, gifted artist and sister in Christ. Featuring Sarah's joyous folk-pop style and poetic, introspective lyrics, Into These Rooms is impressive for its spiritual depth and sophisticated, multi-layered, tightly produced sound.

Highlights include "For a Little While," a hauntingly tender piano-ballad/lullaby that captures the bittersweet pang every mother experiences while holding her sleeping newborn. Co-written by Texas rocker Curtis Stephan, who also provides edgy harmony on the song, "Be with Me, Lord" is a poignant duet pleading for God's help and a superb new setting of Psalm 91.

Featuring ethereal guitar work by the legendary Phil Keaggy, "The Hillside" is an eerie, fantastic musical depiction of the soul's "restless" journey through the clouds, shadows and contrary winds of this world. Other special contributors include Scott Dente (Out of the Grey), Mark Hill, Jerry McPherson, Dave Cleveland, Jeff Roach and Ken Lewis.

Listeners who enter into the rooms of Sarah's music can't help but feel like part of the family, like an unexpected guest received with generous hospitality. After visiting and hearing her sing of God's mercy, we all leave a little happier and a little more sure we're not alone on this spiritual journey.
