"Beautiful melodies and music...The lyrics are inspired straight from scripture. One of my favorite records so far this year," shares Phil Wickham on his Instagram.
"Great new music from @labryinthsongs has been good for the soul today!" exclaims Leslie Jordan of All Sons & Daughters on Twitter.
"The rich text of Scripture, set to gorgeous sweeping melodies, against the backdrop of lush sonic textures...unbelievably beautiful. The most inspiring thing I've heard in ages...Bravo!" exlaims pastor, author and songwriter Glenn Packiam on his Instagram.
"If Sufjan, Gungor, King David made a musical baby, it would sound like David Baloche," saysAmerican Idol alum, Chris Sligh on his Facebook page.
"Out. Standing," lauds Aaron Shust in Instagram.
"Every worship leader I love & highly respect is raving about this new, meditative project..." tweets visual artist Stephen Proctor.
"The Labyrinth project isn't an escape; it's an encounter... with one's self and with God," says David Baloche, who is also a New York City-based artist and high school teacher. "It is a sonic labyrinth, a song experience to prepare for scripture and worship, as if to say, 'pay attention, we're headed for something deeper'."
"The promises of God help transform our thinking and calm our souls," adds Paul Baloche. "In an anxious and busy world, Labyrinth is a powerful way to experience God's Word while filling our hearts and minds with His peace through verbatim scripture set to ambient music... allowing us to soak in God's Word."
Reinforcing the scripture connection, the team collaborated with YouVersion, the creator of the Bible App that has more than 260 million downloads, to offer a Labyrinth Bible plan that is available to its worldwide community beginning today.
