If you have listened to Southern Gospel Music over the past few years you have undoubtedly heard of a group called Three Bridges.  Dave McVay was a big part of that group's sound and he is now out on his own.  This is his debut project and it's very enjoyable!

"I Didn't Think It Could Be" is a great upbeat song written by Andrae Crouch and Dave does a phenomenal job singing this outstanding song.  The melody slows down tremendously as Dave sing "He Took The Cross" next.  What an incredible message in this beautiful song that talks about how God took our cross for us  "Let Faith Answer The Door" is the next song on the project and Dave delivers a solid performance on this Rebecca J. Peck song.  It simply reminds us that when doubt knocks, let faith answer the door!  I love that message!

"Beyond The Grave" is a song that seems familiar to me from somewhere but regardless, the song has a great message of hope for anyone who has lost a loved one.  "Can't Believe My Eyes" once again picks up the tempo and it is an outstanding song about faith in God.  "Bless Your Holy Name Again" is an awesome song that is a prayer set to music.  The song reminds us that when we pray, we sometimes to need to just worship Jesus and Bless that Holy Name of Jesus!  A great reminder to each and every Christian.  "Waitin' On Jesus" is a bit of a different melody but is still very enjoyable.  The message is also a good one.

"He Lifted Me" is a familiar song written by Rodney Griffin.  Dave does a fine job delivering this song on this project.  "Breakin' Chains" is a song that reminds us that when we follow Jesus, He can and will break all chains that bound us.  There are a few songs in Southern Gospel Music that a true classics and "There Is A River" would qualify as one.  Dave closes out this project with an outstanding performance on that classic song.

Dave McVay is talented as I am sure you already know if you have ever heard Three Bridges.  This project shows that Dave can hold his own as a soloist as well.  This project has ten strong songs that will bless you time and time again.  The Crossroads production is outstanding as always and the song selection mixes both old and new songs.  My favorite songs from the project are "I Didn't Think It Could Be," "Bless Your Holy Name Again" and "Can't Believe My Eyes."  Dave's debut solo project is a good one and I hope you will take the time to learn more about this talented individual.  For more information visit www.davemcvaymusic.com.
