Louder Than The Music

Raised in a Christian home with a father who was a traveling minister, Kari began singing in church when she was only 3. She remembers her mother playing worship music in the house while growing up and even recalls the constant tug inside her toward worship. "I remember hearing a worship song that applied perfectly to a family that I knew and I knew then that I wanted to write songs like that for hurting people... songs that someone could speak to the Lord when they can't find the words."

Produced by Ed Cash, the album contains a collection of songs written by Kari Jobe as well as co-writes with worship leaders/songwriters Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, Mia Fieldes, Ed Cash and Klaus Kuehn. The album features new versions of the popular "Revelation Song," "No Sweeter Name" and "My Beloved" in addition to new songs of worship birthed from her life and journals. The deeply personal "You Are for Me" is one of Kari's favorites. "This song is gut-wrenching for me. There are times you are so broken that all you can do is sing over yourself with words like, 'God is for me.' But I believe it is one song that people can use to remember that God is for us. So who can be against us?"

"This album is about hope and life; it's about lifting the broken off the floor and singing love over them," says Kari. "The songs create intimate moments and outward shouting, and it's my hope that these songs find the broken and lift them to a place of praise to God for what He's done."
