Read MoreThe Morningtide, a folk-worship project created by Oregon native Alex Autio, have released their new single 'Arms of Peace'. "At the start of quarantine, I really wrestled with the Lord as life changed so dramatically with every new statistic and restriction that came out", explains Alex . "Through this period I've been learning that we don't need 'earthly soil' or perfect circumstances to be able to serve God."
The project blends down-to-earth mountain music with an alternative worship sound, all centered around glorifying Jesus and uplifting the Church. The Morningtide seeks to embrace simplicity, foster encouraging yet authentic lyrical content, and most of all, share the love of Christ with anyone who wants to listen.
"The central theme of the project comes from Isaiah 43:19 and 42:6-9, where the Lord speaks to his people who he has called into righteousness- the Lord calls us to him, to open our eyes, to lead us out from the desert, to the new things he declares. In a world so often focused on self, it's good to praise the Lord for what he has done, and use those songs of praise as reminders of his faithfulness when he leads us out into strange territory. I hope and pray The Morningtide will be conducive to intimate worship, an encouragement in times of need, and ultimately another step, no matter how insignificant, to go deeper with the Father."
