Beauty Will Rise – Steven Curtis Chapman
Posted by Brian Thornton on November 10, 2009
This is the new album from Chapman, his first since the tragic death of his daughter, Maria. I am on the official Steven Curtis Chapman web site and have been listening to the title track and Heaven is the Face (these two can be heard in their entirety) as I write this. It is clear that this work is no frills, honest, direct, transparent, heart-wrenching, and extremely edifying. The testimony of this family following their horrific loss screams the grace of God in their lives. They surely model that God is truly the God of all comfort. No doubt I will be getting this whole album, and very soon.
This is a description off the web site:
BEAUTY WILL RISE is a collection of 12 new and profound songs from Steven Curtis Chapman. Created in the past 18 months in the walk through the darkness of the loss of his daughter Maria, and while continues to meet him there on the journey. Part lament, part praise, part grief, part hope, part wrestling, part pondering; these tracks resonate as Steven’s personal Psalms. It is a desperately hopeful, raw, personal and honest recording that is likely the most important of his already incredible 20 plus year ministry.
Beauty Will Rise is available HERE. The following video is a brief introduction to the album by Chapman…

Brian- I picked up the album over a week ago and I have to say the stripped down , personal and honest exploration of grief,suffering and still having hope was moving . Chapman brings the hope of God in Christ to bear when suffering enters one life. Amazing album.
