"Alpha/Omega" by Kutless + Giveaway


For a time, I was a member of my church's worship choir. It was an amazing experience until I had to step away due to some health issues (which are thankfully under control now). Our director taught us some wonderful worship songs that I'd never heard before but that resonated with me on a deep level: songs like "Cornerstone" and "Great Are You Lord." So when I started listening to Kutless' new album and realized both those songs were on it, I knew that I'd found an album I'd love.



With their upcoming album ALPHA / OMEGA, Kutless has created a collection of rock and worship songs of both original and cover tracks that are true to who the band has been for the last 17 years. They wanted to create a project that would engage the Christian community and have the greatest impact. The songs are true to who the band is at their core - rock and worship. ALPHA / OMEGA features a new version of “Strong Tower” as well as the debut radio single “King of My Heart.” 

Track List:
1. Your Great Name
2. Strong Tower (Reprise)
3. King of My Heart
4. Cornerstone
5. You Are Love
6. Great Are You Lord
7. Your Love Awakens Me
8. Shepherd of My Soul
9. Gave It All (I Surrender All)
10. No Wonder (Roar of the Rugged Cross)




Alpha/Omega is a solid worship album! In addition to the tracks I mentioned above, I also really like "Your Love Awakens Me" and "No Wonder." All of the tracks are good and—importantly—singable!
In fact, of the ten songs, six of them are in my church's current worship rotation.

These are great songs done in Kutless' rock anthem-worship style (how's that for a descriptor?)—basically, they're songs that you can crank up and sing along with at the top of your lungs while praising your Creator. 5 stars.

I'm so excited to have a CD copy of this album to give away! Enter through the rafflecopter below.

Since signing to BEC Recordings in 2001, Kutless has transformed from a new rock band to a staple artist in the industry that has multi-format, top-charting hits, sold millions of records and more than eight million streams. Launched by original members Jon Micah Sumrall (lead vocals) and guitarist James Mead, the band formed first as a modern rock/worship band at Warner Pacific College in Portland in 2000. Kutless has two RIAA Gold-selling albums for Strong Tower and Live from Portland. The band has had 12 No. 1 radio singles across all formats including their major hits "Strong Tower,” "What Faith Can Do" and "Carry Me To The Cross.” 

After more than 15 years together and reaching fans around the world, Kutless continues to be focused on sharing the Gospel with a younger generation that is searching for answers. 

“We really believe that music can make a difference in people’s lives,” shares Jon Micah Sumrall. “Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can break down walls and allow us to communicate a message of hope to people who may not listen otherwise. We are still recording and performing because we really do believe it makes a difference. We hear stories all the time from people who share with us how a concert or a song has radically impacted their life, and it’s these types of testimonies that keep us going year after year.” 

In 2012, Kutless formed EOTA Ministries (End of The Age) to expand their evangelistic outreach around the globe. EOTA is the non-profit arm that aids Kutless in hosting large, free outreach concerts and events. In 2015, they partnered with other organizations to bring concerts to Kiev, Ukraine and other cities for six events - the largest of their kind in that country. The next year, Kutless returned to 11 cities in Ukraine as well as in Belarus, a communist country, where more than 100,000 heard the Gospel and over 40,000 commitments to Christ.

  1. Jesus Messiah by Chris Tomlin is my favorite all time but I love Strong Tower by Kutless.
