“Gospel music is alive and well in the Seventh-day Adventist Church,” exclaims National Gospel Announcers Guild chair Al “The Bishop” Hobbs.

He has a point. SDA is not a denomination well-known for gospel music, but the 300-voice Spring Into Praise Mass Choir is helping to change that.

“I Command My Soul” is the single from the group’s self-produced album, Under His Wings, recorded live at Morehouse College in Atlanta. The praise outing is a Lamar Campbell composition that Campbell himself leads with appropriate verve. The choir matches Campbell in vocal heft and is every bit as bouncy and energetic as any mass choir. It’s as if the group is summoning its collective force to blow down the walls of tradition.

The Spring Into Praise Mass Choir was organized by Bruce N. Seawood, minister of music at Atlanta Berean SDA Church, where Dr. Carlton P. Byrd is senior pastor.
