Album Back-Story

A warrior has many sides. There is the fierce side, ready to do battle, but there is also the resting warrior, the warrior who is praying because, after all, there is no guarantee that you will come back alive, the warrior who is relaxing with friends, and many others. So, just because Wake Up Ye Mighty is aimed at the warrior does not mean that all of the music is for battle.

We were attending a class one mid-week evening, when suddenly Jim had a vision for this album. He excused himself, then sat nearby writing in his notebook what God was showing him about how this album was to be. I believe he wrote two of the songs at that time also.

The cover art, while not exceptionally sophisticated, was designed this way in order to save on printing costs (this was before the days of digital printing). The cover was created with only two negatives rather than four that would be used for full color, so there were only two passes through the press rather than four. Each negative was assigned either the blue or the green color.
