It was last April on Easter when the members of Stockholm Worship filled their city’s iconic venue, Cirkus Arena, to record the 14 tracks. What came from that experience are songs with melodies and lyrics that express and capture the unique Swedish musical legacy.Songwriters involved in the project are Reuben Morgan (Hillsong Worship), Melody Wagner (Young & Free), Josh Grimmett (Goodboys), Eric Liljero (Cornerstone), and Nick Herbert (Worship Central), among many others. Making their debut with the song “Radical Love (The Joy Song),” Stockholm Worship explains, “We love how this song was birthed out of a plain and simple conversation on what Scriptures we had recently been reading. We all personally felt such a strong need to write something that would help us fix our eyes on what’s ahead, and that would remind us about the hope and joy we have received from God. We believe this song communicates just that. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Eric Liljero, Stockholm Worship’s creative pastor, aptly concludes, “God has been breathing so evident on these songs and this project in our Hillsong church for months now. We’re so excited to finally tell the world about Stockholm Worship!” |
