Crisis, embodies Lewis' signature style of exuberant praise combined with elements of R& B, Rock, Hip Hop, Contemporary Gospel, Urban & Neo-soul, Rap, and Traditional Gospel, all resulting in "a cutting-leading-edge style of worship". This project also offers up an impassioned vocal performance guaranteed to evoke adoration and reverence across all age groups, nationalities, cultural barriers and denominations. Lewis says, Crisis... is all about transition, designed to shift the mindset from a state of impasse to a state of great expectation and ultimately birth you into your destined place of promised manifestation. There is something for everyone who has ever been through something and this is just one of the many messages that “Crisis†communicates.
I am honored that God allows me to be a living testament to the fact that no matter what you go through, or what life throws your way, you can make it. I am reminded that the things of this word are temporal… you can and you will survive any crisis, that comes… you will conquer every stumbling block that presents itself, and nothing will keep you from God’s pre-ordained destiny. Crisis not only inspires human morality, it embraces the intimate relationship we have with our “Fatherâ€, establishes our identity in him, and shows us how God continues to reach beyond our faults to meet our needs."
Opening as an edgy, in your face expression of praise and worship, this project confronts real life issues that go beyond the four walls of the sanctuary. Crisis goes from a whisper to a roar; a spine-tingling witness to God's greatness that falls nothing short of majestic – while making a soulful impact. Standouts on this project include the rousing ,“How Does It Feelâ€, "Man Inside Of Me" and "Show Me The Way" – featuring the award winning, Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. From start to finish, the 22-track soul winning, double-disc, showcases the multi-genre, strong songwriting, producing, unrelentingly soaring vocals and true anointing of Christopher Lewis.
