At Midnight (EP)

Last updated

For this album, we drew a lot of inspiration from Acts 16 where Paul and Silas are thrown into prison... As they worshipped God, verse 25 tell us that the prison doors swung open at midnight and their chains were loosed. With this project, we asked the question: What if our praise was the kind of praise that broke chains?
