“I’m coming back to the heart of worship.” This is how Clay Crosse has described his past few years. “Worship has become who I am and what I do.” How fitting for someone as talented as Clay to turn his time and talents to God with his new project, “Eternity With You: Live Worship."
It all started in 1998 when Clay sat down with his wife Renee to admit to her that he was not walking closely with the Lord. Out of that conversation and months of healing, Clay and Renee both rededicated their lives and homes back to the Lord. “It has been an amazing time of growth for us. We have seen God’s hand leading us the whole way.”
It may appear that Clay had put away his music, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. During the past few years, Clay has remained busy traveling on the road as well as being part of the critically acclaimed projects, “David, Ordinary Man, Extraordinary God” and “Lullaby’s” (Discovery House). Clay and Renee have also spent the past year writing their yet to be titled book which will tell their story and give practical ways for readers to grow closer in their walk with God. The book will release next summer on Navpress. And if this weren’t enough, Clay has spent the past two years leading worship at The Love Of Christ Community Church (TLC) in Memphis, TN. “This truly has been the highlight of my ministry. I used to view myself as an entertainer. Then God changed my heart. He gave me an assignment that
has brought more purpose than ever before. I am thankful everyday to be a part of leading the local body.”
Now Clay is ready to open more doors. “Eternity With You” is Clay’s first live project and was recorded at the historic Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. “We had a blast recording this CD, but the best part was being able to worship with my home church friends as we made this live project.” Worship is exactly what you will find throughout this CD. From the opening, “We Will Dance” to the passionate “Our Great God”, this record is full of moving moments that will lead you into a state of worship. “Most of my fans will see this as a departure from classic Clay Crosse. In some ways it is, worship is the center of who I am. I felt it appropriate to make my next CD one of worship. There will be more Clay Crosse Cds in the future.” Well, it may not be the power ballads that put Clay on the map, but it is definitely classic Clay Crosse style. His matchless vocals flow throughout the entire record. Moments like “Here I Am to Worship” make the listener want to press the repeat button and engage in non-stop worship. The title cut, “Eternity With You”, penned by Crosse, showcases that bluesy voice fans love and adore. “I can’t wait for people to hear this new CD, to read the book, and see the DVD…mostly I want them to hear my testimony, to understand my heart and be drawn closer to our Father. That is why I keep doing
what I love to do.”

May you be blessed with all things good. May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count. May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world. May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions. May every pathway you choose lead to that which is pure and good and lovely. May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you. And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in… May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world. May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return. May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of God, like the cherished child you are. And when you are tempted to judge, may you be reminded that we are all one and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe, touching everyone and everything. And when you are tempted to hold back, may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely… and it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift. May you always have music and laughter and may a rainbow follow every storm. May gladness wash away every disappointment, may joy dissolve every sorrow…and may love ease every pain. May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph and with each passing day may you live more abundantly than the day before. May you be blessed. And may others be blessed by you. This is my heartfelt wish for you. May you be blessed.
