Love Divine celebrates the legacy of one of the most significant voices in church hymnody: Charles Wesley, connecting the dots between two centuries of the worshipping church.
Each of the thirteen tracks on Love Divine has been arranged by Chris Eaton and John Hartley, and recorded by some of the most well known contemporary vocalists today, including: Aaron Keyes, Brenton Brown, Brian Johnson (Bethel Live), Chris Eaton, Chris McClarney, Chris Quilala (Jesus Culture), Jason Roy (Building 429), Jenn Johnson (Bethel Live), John Ellis, Kim Walker-Smith (Jesus Culture), Leigh Nash (Sixpence None The Richer), Mark Roach and Tim Hughes.
“Our church society throughout the world has maybe become too ‘familiar’ in our expression of worship at times,” says Chris Eaton. “I longed to paint a musical picture in production of these new melodies, that truly enhances the text, born out of great liturgy, so that our modern experience of worship links us directly to the passion of the early hymn writers.
Producer and LifeWay Worship songwriter John Hartley says “Love Divine may be rooted in a time before the industrial revolution, but Wesley’s songs can be communicated with just as much passion and purpose as when they were first aired.”
