‘All Through History’ reads like a storybook; we hear about Noah, Moses, David, Daniel, and Jesus…it’s almost a who’s who of the Bible. Attach a melody that jumps to greet you like a favourite friend, and the outcome is not only great to sing but also a wonderful teaching assistant! In a world where hero status is often assigned to unmerited candidates, ‘All Through History’, written by Becky Drake, offers alternative, faith-filled, God-centred contenders.
For the past 13 years, Nick & Becky Drake have been writing songs to unite all ages together. Listen to firm favourites ‘Big Family Of God’, ‘Creator God’ and ‘Our God’s Generous’ and you’ll quickly realise they are an exceptional songwriting team with the ability to combine fun, faith and biblical truth with an earworm of a tune.
Nick & Becky’s big vision is to release the power of unity across generations in worship and they do this very effectively through ‘Worship For Everyone’, a Christian faith-based movement to resource and equip collective singing in churches, schools, and families.
“We believe God loves it when children and adults come together to worship,” enthuses the Drakes in an introduction for their album ‘All Through History’ marking 10 years of Worship For Everyone. “Songs can truly be written for everyone to enjoy together - young and old, families and individuals. It isn’t always easy, but we believe it’s possible to engage children and release worship in adults at the same time. It’s about encountering God together, preferring others above ourselves, and sometimes laying down our own preferences.”
All Through History’ definitely lives up to their vision and along with countless of their other fantastic songs, helps the whole big family of God to worship.
