Be the Miracle
Mark Lowry Productions

“Be the Miracle” is the latest all-music project from entertainer/communicator Mark Lowry, following the very good “But Seriously” and the excellent “Some Things Never.” If your only exposure to Lowry has been his appearances on the Gaither video series, know that you have only witnessed a portion of the talent that this man possesses. His shtick on the Gaither tour was to be Jerry Lewis to Bill Gaither’s Dean Martin, with an occasional Vocal Band feature thrown in. Since departing the Gaither Vocal Band in 2001, Lowry has been headlining his own tour that allows him to sing and share more of his heart with the audience. “Be the Miracle” is a microcosm of Lowry’s current ministry.

“Be The Miracle” is a tremendous album. Lowry presents a collection of lyrically strong songs with diverse musical styles performed practically flawlessly. It is sometimes hard for a soloist to produce a project that will hold the listeners’ attention for the duration. Maybe Lowry’s Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder worked to his advantage in selecting songs for this project, because the songs did not get stylistically repetitive so there were no songs that I wanted to skip past while listening. The lyrics for the songs range from challenging to encouraging. On the technical side, the project is top-notch. I recommend “Be the Miracle” highly to anyone and everyone.
