A Seed, A Sunrise: Advent to Christmas Songs (2020)
A Seed, A Sunrise explores the anticipation of Advent, the joy of Christmas, and the expectant hope of Jesus’s return. Produced by Isaac Wardell (Josh Garells, Sandra McCracken) and featuring Tyler Chester (Madi Cunningham, Switchfoot), Andrew Osenga (Andrew Peterson, Caedmon’s Call), gospel trio Resound (Lauren Daigle), and a fourteen-piece string orchestra, these songs are rich with biblical imagery and truth, artful arrangements, and poetic lyrics to help the Church rehearse and remember God’s Story.
A Seed, A Sunrise builds on Caroline’s previous full-length projects a Home & a Hunger (2017) and the Blood + the Breath (2013), both of which trace a biblical theme from creation to Christ’s return, with each song parachuting into a different biblical scene.
