Voss, the Worship & Creative Arts Pastor for Gateway Church in Shelbyville, Tennessee, has written songs recorded by Selah (“I Got Saved”), Paul Baloche (“Psalm 92” / “We Come To You, Jesus”), Jaci Velasquez (“Praise The King”) and Dustin Smith (“How Great” / “Consume Us”) among others.
The twenty-something Voss takes his craft as a writer of songs for the Church very seriously. “When we sing songs, we are releasing prayers, scriptures and songs of praise that shift and fill the atmosphere with God’s presence. So, as I write, I begin by asking the Lord, ‘What do Your people need to be singing?’.”
For Songs Of Heaven & Earth, Voss recorded at his home church with producer Kyle Lee (Aaron Shust, Bryan & Katie Torwalt). In addition to “Canyons,” which Voss co-wrote with Dove Award winner Krissy Nordhoff (“Your Great Name”), the project includes “Don’t Ever Let Me Go” a co-write with Dove Award winner Jennie Lee Riddle (“Revelation Song”), and “The King Is Here” a co-write with Rhyan Shirley.
The EP is rounded out with songs from fellow Integrity writers: “As It Is In Heaven,” penned by Alisa Turner and Dove Award winner Michael Farren, and “God Who Moves The Mountains,” penned by Dustin Smith, Richie Fike and David Leonard (All Sons & Daughters).
Corey has a voice that works very well with this acoustic rock worship sound that he has put on this album. He can belt out a chorus when he needs to but can also do hushed and soft vocals when apt. His vocals are very clean and smooth and that is very nice to listen to.
For me the big gem on the album is the song 'As It Is In Heaven'. This anthem song seems to tick all the boxes you'd expect from a worship song. It feels like a classic but also very modern, it's a big anthem while still feeling like a song that talks to you personally.
I would put Corey in the same bracket as worship leaders like Tim Hughes, Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham. If you enjoy albums by any of the above singers then you will really enjoy this album as well. You can tell that Corey and his band are amazing at leading these songs at conferences or any worship settings for that matter.
