Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat
falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it
produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who
hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John
12:24-25
That’s the premise for the new Christian rap album
S.E.E.D.S. by Canvas. The description
sums it up this way: “S.E.E.D.S stands for "Salvation Enriches Everything
Death Subjected;" this album is one mainly to inspire the Christian that
in Christ we have the power to redeem any and all spheres of life. God created
all things good, but due to the fall mankind now perverts Gods' good creation.
We Christians are now called to go out and redeem what was once lost. We are
Seeds of the Seed, Jesus Christ.”
Canvas grounds all his verse in scripture, presenting the
Gospel over and over in every song. From
the straight Gospel message in “Structure and Direction” to the exultation to
lay it all down for Christ in the title track “S.E.E.D.S.” the lyrics
continually point to Jesus.
I labeled this a design post, because I worked with Canvas
to design the cover of the album, so I admittedly have some bias here, but
really it’s a great album, and while the best part is that it brings glory and
honor to our great God lyrically, Canvas also uses his music to evangelize and
gives away the cd for the sake of the Gospel. I have to say it’s awesome to see a heart for Jesus shining so brightly in
a dark world.
So I encourage anyone reading this, to go listen, get a free
copy of the album, and if you’re interested in donating to the work of this awesome
man of God, you can contact him directly through his

Enjoy the music!
