Kids. They sure grow up quickly.

The indefatigable music minister Alphaeus Anderson has an app for that. It’s called Teen Pure-N-Heart.

A brand extension of the 2010 Stellar-nominated Pure-N-Heart children’s choir, Teen Pure-N-Heart is comprised of more than 200 teenage singers from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. In keeping with its motto, “Youth Uniting to Impact the World,” the group is multi-church, multi-denominational and multi-cultural.

On July 31, 2010, the young PNH and Teen PNH recorded their respective CDs before a live audience of some 3,000. “Wow” is the opening track on the debut album of Teen PNH. A straightforward power praise song, “Wow” features a growling guitar that pounds common meter, breaks momentarily into rock steady, and switches back to 4/4. The beyond-her-years voice of a female lead buttresses the youthful chorus.

“Wow” is the exuberant energy of youth giving their all on the altar.
