Sapp looked youthful and vibrant, and he had a sparkle in his eyes that hinted at things to come&#8211;which I found quizzical considering he lost his father, his musical mentor, and his spiritual father back-to-back before recording this album.<br \/>\nThe first single from the album, &#8220;Never Would Have Made It,&#8221; came to him while he was grieving the death of his father, and the somberness of the song is certainly palpable. Sapp&#8217;s unmistakable voice resonates with gratitude as much as it hints at profound loss. But, never one to keep music at a somber pace, Sapp gives listeners an equal measure of &#8220;dance all night&#8221; praise songs and &#8220;lie prostrate in a puddle of tears&#8221; worship anthems.<br \/>\nSongs such as &#8220;Praise Him in Advance&#8221; and &#8220;Shout Unto God&#8221; are great for personal devotion time as they are for church choirs during corporate worship. And the title-track &#8220;Thirsty&#8221; is a gut-wrenching request for God&#8217;s anointing, perfect for anyone stuck in the spiritual wilderness.<br \/>\nThe album flows seamlessly from high-impact praise songs to low-impact, but intense, worship songs that will take worshipers on an incredibly refreshing ride. New and old Sapp fans will fall in love with &#8220;Thirsty.&#8221; Get quenched today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I could tell that &#8220;Thirsty,&#8221; Marvin Sapp&#8217;s seventh album, was going to be a hit from the cover alone.
