Divine Voices of Praise is a versatile choir from Baltimore, Maryland’s ARK Church, where Dr. J.L. Carter is Pastor and Marcus D. Smith is Minister of Music. The group’s debut CD Be Still and Know is given star production by Stellar Award-winning gospel artist Minister Isaiah D. Thomas.
“Jesus Is Lord” is the first single from Be Still and Know. The choir brings its celebration voice to bear on this robust contemporary piece. Brassy notes punctuate the intro and a disco-like thump propels the vocals. Although Divine Voices of Praise is comprised of men and women of all ages, the performance has an unmistakably youthful energy.
In addition to the contemporary “Jesus Is Lord,” the Divine Voices of Praise knows how to do it up traditional and bluesy, too, as demonstrated on “The Blood,” and then get into concert formals for the CD’s title track.

I personally own the cd. I think it’s a great project. It’s one of those cd’s that you can put in the cd player and play all the way through. My children also love the cd. Great listening enjoyment for our entire family.
Oh How I love this CD, my favorite is “The Blood”
The music on this CD makes me “feel good” :)
I purchased this cd and have a hard time listening to anything else. I listen to “The Blood and Be Still and Know” on repeat…The CD gives you the old school gospel mixed with modern day and it speaks to you! Great work!
