TRUE STRENGTH is honored to announce an exclusive new single to celebrate their tenth anniversary, The Holy Spirit! The single will be released on March 21, 2023 in digital format. The single will also be available as a bonus track on the CD version of the "Maximum Strength: The Best of the First Decade" album that will soon be available through Roxx Records! Stay tuned to Roxx Records for more information about the release as the date approaches!!
The Holy Spirit (SINGLE) track listing:
1. “The Holy Spirit”
The new single celebrates the Holy Spirit, the paraclete (helper) of the Trinity! TRUE STRENGTH came up with the idea for the song after noticing that there were seemingly very few songs honoring the Holy Spirit in Christian music. Sadly, many Christians do not understand the importance of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by a disturbing article (www.christianpost.com/news/most-us-christians-dont-believe-holy-spirit-is-real-study.html) citing a study published by the Cultural Research Center of Arizona Christian University where "Some 62% of self-identified born-again Christians contend that the Holy Spirit is not a real, living being but is merely a symbol of God’s power, presence or purity." TRUE STRENGTH seeks to worship and honor the Holy Spirit and His role, and to also inform Christians and non-Christians alike of His vital importance in this song! The Holy Spirit IS real, The Holy Spirit IS God!
The single features the artwork of Ryan Close!
lyrics
True Strength
"The Holy Spirit"
You were there in the beginning!
The Spirit moved on the face of the world!
From the dust you formed each creature!
The breath of God gave life to Man!
Your voice had safely guided Noah!
And raptured Enoch to Heaven's heights!
Confounded all the tongues of Babel!
And led Abram from the Ur of Chaldees!
You shaped Creation in those days!
Forever one with the Trinity!
You shaped Creation in those days!
Forever one, the Paraclete of the Trinity!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit please hear our cries and sanctify!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
You led the Hebrews through the desert!
A cloud by day and fire at night!
Your Holy Presence filled the Temple!
The Holy of Holies, you settled there!
On Carmel, an unquenchable fire!
That consumed Elijah's sacrifice!
Through the prophets you have spoken!
The Word of God shall be proclaimed!
You led the Prophets through each age!
Forever in them, you made them see!
You led the Prophets through each age!
Forever in them, the Paraclete of the Trinity!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit please hear our cries and sanctify!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
-------SOLO----------
Conceived in Mary- Christ Jesus!
God the Son became flesh through you!
And on that day when He was baptized!
You descended on the Son like a dove!
Christ had promised He would send You!
A Holy Helper who would comfort us!
On Pentecost, in tongues, they'd spoken!
You danced like flames upon their heads!
You guide Believers through each age!
Forever in us, you'll always be!
You guide Believers through each age!
Forever in us, the Paraclete of the Trinity!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!
O Blessed Holy Spirit please hear our cries and sanctify!
O Blessed Holy Spirit hear our prayers!

this album absolutely rips. this is what I would call epic thrash. it has that old school sound but sounds very fresh at the same time. definitely worth supporting, I had to buy the CD for my collection, I couldn't not. I don't even care if it's quote "Christian metal", the music is so damn good. maybe, GOD damn good. I hope these guys keep making heavy ass metal 🤘🏻 big_pete666
