"Covenant,” the latest single from New Jersey House of Praise, is a music that’s dragged out for Sunday mornings, but is a message of strength, faith and togetherness that can be sensed from any corner of the world.
The force behind “Covenant” is pulsing with purpose. Each lyric lifts like a hand reach (a hand to hold), a reminder that you never have to carry your shit all by yourself. The singing is forthright, and it’s supported by music that doesn’t sound as much like background music as a collaborator in the act of worship, an omnipresent pulse accentuating the song’s message.
The reason “Covenant” hits home so hard is partly because it is so approachable. As you rejoice successes or soldier through the challenges, this performance provides a sanctuary. It’s as if the New Jersey House of Praise is hanging out in your living room, telling you that encouragement is just a song away. The essential “Covenant” is a promise. And that’s a powerful promise in a world that can feel heavy.
