"All Praise" by Action Worship: Worship Rising with the Dawn


(by Jasper Tan) I've never listened to a song thus far that feels so inviting and immersive. And I've done my share of listening to different new music releases. Action Worship's "All Praise" changed that. This is the first song I've heard this year that made me feel so immersed and feel as one with the Action Worship team. "All Praise" is one of the twelve songs that the Action Worship team has conceived, which was written and recorded during a Beach House retreat. The first six songs (which include All Praise) were conceived and recorded during Dawn. And another set of six songs will be released in February as part of the Dusk sessions. The Action Worship team, as a Church has been in a season to record some of the songs that they have been playing in their Church. And they set out to do this, holed up in a beach house where they spent writing, arranging, and recording the songs. So this isn't just any ordinary recording, as the songs in this two-part album reflect their journey inside that beach house where their sessions were treated more than just making music, but also praising and worshipping together as one.

Action Worship - All Praise (Dawn)"All Praise", recorded at dawn, serves as the opener to the album. This is just right, because before anything else, everything that we do should always start by praising our Lord Almighty. Recorded (along with the other songs that are part of the Dawn album) as a laid-back acoustic track, the song prepares us to receive the grace and love of our Lord as the dawn breaks. This arrangement helps us begin our day to remain in the solemnity of God's embrace as we praise him for all the things that he has blessed us with. And it's always a good reminder that everything emanates from him, so that we will not lose our way. "All Praise" is just a teaser of what's to come; I was assigned to review this song, but ended up listening to the rest of the "Dawn" album. I can't wait for the "Dusk" album to be released next month. I highly recommend that you add this song to your morning worship playlists. And if you feel God's presence as you listen to this song, I encourage you to take a moment to listen to the whole album entirely and watch their live session on YouTube. I could only end this review by saying, God is indeed good.
