Sounds Like
Songs such as Rescuer, Great Church, Our God Is Mighty, and Brand New Day stand out as anthems for today’s church. These songs sit alongside others which reflect the changes that have been taking place on the political landscape of Northern Ireland.
The Troubles are Over, Walls and Freedom ‘Let’s Go’ have been written as a response to the political/religious conflict in Ireland and as a prophetic cry for the change that still needs to take place. In a day when religious division and conflict are increasingly evident in our communities, the heart of these songs will resonate across the world as songs for our times.
‘Break The Silence’ challenges us to worship with our lives in our nations, in our communities and beyond the walls of our churches. It is a call for the church to “Break the Silence” and “lift your voice”, to speak and act in our communities today.
The Johnny Parks Band combine sing-a-long melodies, genre-pushing
creativity and raw passion as they seek to break the silence endemic
in today's culture. Based in Belfast, Ireland the band have a deep
desire to see continual change take place in their country.
Restoration, peace, hope, love...and to see the walls tumble down.
