about

After several days of bending laboriously over the artwork, sewn by hands with bloody fingers, the panels for the More Than This Many Voices, One Heart EP were done. Made up of little bits of fabric cut into shapes, and sewn together one stitch at a time, the artwork for the album took longer to create than the recording process in the studio.

More Than This is made up of four close friends from the Coachella Valley in Southern California. More than friends really, they are like family. It is with such unity that the band's cohesive sound emanates forth. A rhythmic sound begins with Chad Dean's unique custom Roselynn cajon kit locked in with Steven Kippel's subdued, unadorned bass with the melodies provided by Joshua Pratt's delicate piano and Brandon Sampson's acoustic guitar and powerful tenor vocal abilities. The quartet have found an acoustic-alternative sound that engaging and intimate with soul-rending dynamics and a burning passion.

The latest album, Many Voices, One Heart, is a collection of worship songs written by friends of More Than This from all over Southern California. The band wanted to expose these treasured songs to a larger audience while giving them their own treatment. More Than This got each songwriter involved in the recording process giving each the opportunity to be featured on their track, and with one exception (due to scheduling conflicts) they all came into the studio and recorded their song with the band. The Many Voices, One Heart project was a passionate undertaking by all involved.

Track Name: Overwhelmed
(Verse 1)
Overwhelmed but not by you
Overwhelmed with what I do
The things I do they break your heart
I'm overwhelmed

I speak the words "I love you"
Then I show you I don't care
Why do I do this?
I'm overwhelmed
I’m overwhelmed

(Chorus)
Overwhelm me with your presence
Overwhelm me with your love
Overwhelm me by your spirit
Overwhelm
Overwhelm

(Verse 2)
Can I speak with out more heartache?
Can I love without the lies?
God I'm past the point of reason
I'm overwhelmed
Overwhelmed

(Verse 3)
You spoke without the heartache
You love beyond the lies
God you are my only reason
I'm overwhelmed
Overwhelmed

(Bridge)
Take hold of his presence
Behold his presence
It's here, it's here
Take hold of His presence
Behold His presence
Its here, it's here

In your presence I will dwell
In your presence I will dwell
You’re here, you’re here, you’re here
Track Name: To Know You
(Verse)
My child cries, I cry
I want nothing more than to take the pain in their eyes
If I could take it, if I could bear it I would
Christ dies, I die
I want nothing more than to be found in Your life
If I can take it, if I can bear it I will

(Chorus)
To know You
To know the power of Your resurrection
To know the fellowship of Your suffering
To be found in my King

(Bridge)
All things I count as loss
For the sake of knowing my God
Track Name: All I Want
(Verse)
I can feel You draw me closer
I hold nothing back
I surrender
I can hear Your gentle whisper
You're calling out to me
I will answer

(Prechorus)
Lord here I am
Lord just as I am

(Chorus)
All I want, all I need
Is all of You to surround me
All I want, all I need
Is to love You as You hold me

(Bridge)
You're all I want
Track Name: Draw Us Near
(Verse 1)
Draw us near Lord
Meet us here
Bring us into Your presence
Hear our prayers Lord
Quench our fears
We long to see you here

(Chorus)
We lift up our hands and fall on our knees
For You are our God
We are Your people before Your throne
Crying "Holy is the Lord"
Holy are you Lord

(Verse 2)
Search our hearts Lord
Make us pure
Consume us from the inside out
Take our hands Lord
Lead us home
To the place where You are

(Bridge)
Holy, holy Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Track Name: Selah
(Verse 1)
He humbled himself
Obedient
He humbled himself
Became like me
He humbled himself
He felt my pain
He humbled himself
He bore my shame

(Chorus)
Selah, selah, selah
Think about what He's done
Selah, selah, selah
Meditate on his son
Forever

(Verse 2)
He humbled himself
He washed my feet
He humbled himself
He made me clean
He humbled himself
Got on his knees
He humbled himself
He prayed for me

(Bridge 1)
Forever

(Bridge 2)
Selah
