About Into the Great Unknown - The story behind the title
The meaning behind "Into the Great Unknown." If you ever been to a place in life that you didn't understand, it can be extremely difficult. Sometimes life mounds a pile of challenges you're way,
maybe even extremely painful, or hurtful. You might be overwhelmed beyond you're wildest dreams.
This is a difficult place to be, however we have a choice. A choice to be afraid of the mysteries, things we don't understand, or to pursue God for understanding. To have joy in the mysteries! "Into the great Unknown" God's calling us to a place of deeper trust with Him. By letting go with complete trust knowing and having faith that God is good, and he is leading you to a good place. We might not be able to see or understand, but our source of rest comes from spending time with Him. It can be a battle, and may not be perfect, and that's ok. We may have to reach out to others.
I had a really good friend, who is a incredible worship leader, say "Bro you just got to have joy in
the mysteries" It didn't register for 2 weeks. Afterwards it hit me, I had great joy knowing that God was going to lead me through the great unknown, and I could have joy without knowing anything in the most difficult of times. (This was a long season of testing, trials, and over all difficulty)
We have to willfully walk to that place, or we will never fully get everything God has for us.
Our hope doesn't come because we know the outcome. our hope comes because of who we know (The Lord)
One day listening to Oceans it hit me deeply, "You call me upon the waters, 'The great unknown' where feet may fail, and there I find you in the mystery, in Oceans deep, my faith will stand.
We find God in the mystery, when we let go, and allow God to call us out into the deep waters. (without kicking and screaming).
Trust God in the deep deep waters!
Into the Great Unknown is a hard place, but it can be a great place of joy, if we allow it. And there is where you will find God in the mystery! Trust Trust Trust!

King of Israel - About the Song
King of Israel was inspired by a sermon I heard by Ray Hughes at my church. Ray Hughes is a great music historian. I was captivated and fascinated by his story, about Handel, and the history behind Handel, and the Messiah Chorus.
As a writer, I like to honor the great writers of old, and tap into what was in their
hearts at the time. With so much paganism in Christmas, I wanted to connect with something of value, that would Honor God. When you listen to the Hallelujah Chorus, it is really deep.
Stories about Handel even say He was praying, or he was weeping, or he was staring into eternity.
He was definitely a deep writer for his day. I wanted to write a song about Jesus Birth and tie it in somehow with Handel's Messiah.
What I love about most Hymns or older worship songs is that they focus on the righteousness of Christ in us. The Messiah Chorus is not short of themes of Salvation and righteousness.
The Messiah Chorus is a timeless song about the Lord's salvation for us, the very gospel message and that He will Reign Forever.
I wanted to bring in those same elements highlighting Salvation and Righteousness.
King of Israel is not just meant for Christmas time which is why we are including it in our album. The message is that Jesus came so we might become His righteousness.
King of Israel
Bring Your Gifts to the Lord for this day Messiah came.
Righteousness is being restored. Let the Angels rejoice and sing
rejoice and sing
Hallelujah ah to the King to the King
Hallelujah ah to the King the King of Israel
Glory Shines within the skies Let Angelic hosts proclaim
Join the triumph of the king Salvations victory
Salvations victory
Hallelujah ah to the King to the King
Hallelujah ah to the King the King of Israel to the King
And He Shall Reign Forever and ever
And He Shall Reign Forever and ever
And He Shall Reign Forever and ever
And He Shall Reign Forever and ever
Hallelujah ah to the King to the King
Hallelujah ah to the King the King of Israel

Praise Your Name Forever - About the Song
About the Song
Praise Your Name Forever with Elisha Chernoff
Over the last year, I have been on a incredible journey of many ups and downs,
incredible opportunities as well as incredible disappointments. I have formed
incredible new relationships that have changed my life.
What I have learned in the midst of everything is God is always there.
God is there in our successes and our failures, in our triumphs and there when we fall.
In our hurts, and our joy. He is always there.
Over the last year, in my home group where I go to church, there were quite a few families
that were facing some of life's challenges. We saw several families face losing their home,
as well as a precious Mom lose her son, and a friend who went in the hospital for tumors.
My wife and I had our own financial challenges.
In the midst of everything, God was always there.
At my church, I heard one of our teachers preach on Joseph. He preached that God wasn't so
concerned about Joseph's destination as he was that God wanted Joseph to know that
He was always there.
I found this to be so true. God's way more concerned about our hearts, knowing him and that he is always there versus the destiny He has for us.
The destiny he has for us is great. God says he has a plan for us to prosper us not to harm us, which is awesome! But the destiny He has for our hearts is even greater. God wants us to go deeper.
That's what this new song is about. We didn't write it to be radio hit or even the best song we could ever write. We wrote it because it tells a real story and it's about real life.
What I realized is that also no matter what we go through, there are major blessings that God gives us everyday. When I see my son with a smile on his face, or a hug from my wife, relationships at my church, or my health. There is so much we have to be thankful for.
The second verse touches on this hope.
We have an acoustic video we will be releasing Spring or Summer of 2015.
Through the storms and raging seas
You are always there for me
Through the trials and the pain.
I will bless your Name
I will praise your name forever
In your presence I am undone
I will praise your name forever
Oh God let heaven come
Through the Blessings that never change
Your favor rests on me
Through the triumphs that come my way
I will bless your name
I will praise your name forever
In your presence I am undone
I will praise your name forever
Oh God let heaven come
Let Your Glory Let Your power come. Yahweh
Let Your Glory Let Your power come. Yahweh
Let Your Glory Let your power
Let Your Glory Let your power come Yahweh Yahweh
I will praise your name forever
In your presence I am undone
I will praise your name forever
Oh God let heaven come
