We were conceived out of necessity for God's people to have consistent worship leaders at Campus Crusade for Christ at UNC Charlotte. We seek each week and monthly for Charlotte Metro to help Christians feel free to worship God by singing songs of praise and worship to Him through our Lord Jesus Christ. When considering a band name, we came across the following passage from the prophet Isaiah that we hope to cling to and seek by what we do:
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion--to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.”
Isaiah 61:1-4
