Product Description
From Amazon.com
There's a beauty to the rawness of Rebecca St. James. While her contemporaries in the Christian market ply their formulaic-sounding wares, St. James continues to go where few artists, if any, have gone before. On Pray, her fourth album, the young Australian singer meshes Euro-industrial with charismatic Christian for a mind-bending (if not soul-bending) experience. Producer Tedd T. offers the right blend of programming, melodic rock, and St. James's powerful vocals on the opening title track as well as the brilliant "Come Quickly Lord" and "Peace." While the covers of Rich Mullins's "Hold Me Jesus" and Keith Green's "Lord You're Beautiful" provide new treatments to old standards, it is the numbers penned by St. James and Tedd T. that stand out. Don't miss the haunting final number, "Omega," or the mystery track beyond. --Michael Lyttle

Rebecca St James' album 'Pray' is fantastic! The music is well written and the words are so powerful. All the songs contain a strong biblical message and encourage me to keep going. For example 'I'll carry you' reminds me that even when things are rough there is no reason to turn and run and try and take a supposedly easier path because what could be easier than trusting that God is going to carry you through and that you'll come out of it a much better person with a much stronger relationship with Jesus! There is so much more I could say about it, but you just have to hear it... It's Fantastic! ><>

Stunning!
10 July 2000
Format:Audio CD
I did not used to be a big fan of her music.
Pray changed all that.
Her music is stunning, life changing, tear jerking, and thrilling.
Who can sing lyrics better then their author? RSJ created a brilliant CD with brilliant music.
Pray is faultless. the type of song that makes you fall on your knees and think of Jesus, all he's done, and how he can change you.
The song Give Myself Away is similar. I cried listening to it. It has a big beat, and a big message. I love this song.
I'll Carry You always brings tears to my eyes. I think about all the struggles I've had in my life, and how my family, and Jesus lifted me up, and this song is a perfect expression of agape love, unending love for someone and that willingness to help someone.
Peace blew me off my feet. This song rocked me for quite some time. The words "Be Still and Know, You Are God" are rather soothing. In a way, this is the best song on the CD. It mixes rock and that stuff I call perfect words and makes an incredible blend.
This CD has to be one of the best I've ever heard. Along with Michelle Tumes, this CD is top five on my list.
I am not a rock girl. But this CD is not Rock. IT IS PURE WORSHIP TO JESUS CHRIST!
Thank-you. Now, buy this CD. Maybe it will change your life. Maybe it will strengthen your relationship with Jesus. Or maybe it will just fill you with the urge to go outside and. . . pray.

Great worship CD!
8 Aug 2005
Format:Audio CD
I love this CD not just for its catchy songs but for the worshipful atmosphere it creates whenever I listen to it. I get frustrated with "Christian" music that does nothing more than induce a vaguely cheerful emotion. I want music that focuses my mind and heart on the Lord, not on my emotions. Pray does just that with lyrics that praise and honor God. I also appreciate the fact that Rebecca St. James' lyrics are simple to remember - after just a few times of hearing her songs, I find myself singing them all day! Be sure not to miss the hidden song "Be Thou My Vision" on the last track. It is the best version of the best hymn I have heard to date. I highly recommend this CD and would like to thank Ms. St. James for offering a CD that gives glory to the Lord God.

The best Contemporary Christian CD ever made?
12 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
This latest CD by Rebecca St James is full of Christian commitment and Spiritual encouragement - along with some dazzling music tracks and RSJ's absolutely superb vocal ability. I actually consider this album to be one of best music CD's (of any kind) that I ever heard. The music is fast (- 'very fast' by Christian music norm) but the message is strong, pure, and wonderful. The love and commitment for Jesus Christ that Rebecca St.James expresses on this album are so palpable, I often have tears welling up in my eyes when I listen to her songs. (And I have listened to this album many, many, many times. )
