Past the Wishing

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Sara was a school teacher in MN for a few years and while driving home one day decided that she wanted to get "past the wishing" in some areas in her life. What started out as a personal testimony and a gift to family and friends, the CD, recorded in 1997/1998 quickly became a hit in Christian music circles. Sara left her teaching job to pursue her ministry in music full-time and has traveled internationally singing her songs in a variety of settings.

Still the best..........2004-04-14

Sara is still the best christian artist ever.

When I got this cd I thought it was a little bit different from the others because it had less instruments and more voice of Sara.(not on every track, but some of them) Because this was originally her first cd, and I had listened to the second and third, I was afraid that the fourth was becomeing even more instruments and drums and go away from this perfect preformance. (and sadly it did, but anyway the fourth cd is close to perfect - but not as perfect as the 3 first....)

Anyway, that's not necessary a bad thing at all... (only a thought that touched my mind...)

I will say this cd showed me that the best music is/can be the best with good lyrics and voice without all the insstrumentals, heavy guitar or stuff like that. I could relax and feel God by listening to this cd.

Taste powerful songs like: "Past the wishing", "Everyday miracles", "Song of Solomo" and "stir my heart"

I cannot say enough about this album, which is now being offered in a second release. Unlike many albums, each song on "Past the Wishing" is a gem. Sara Groves has an amazing ability to touch people's hearts. Having heard her in concert, her Christian humility reminds me that we are all works in progress. The songs on this album are a testament to the fact that though we fall short and have many imperfections, God is doing amazing works in our lives and leading us up in His ways. Not only is every melody a beautiful work of art, but the lyrics to each song are full of meaning. Sara Groves' music has been such a blessing in my life. In difficult moments, songs from this album have given me much encouragement and comfort. This is one of my all-time favourite albums!

Soul touching.......2002-08-06

This CD is definitely worth listening to over and over. I listened to it every time I needed to sleep the 10 days I was in the hospital waiting to deliver my premature daughter. Sara is certainly not boring, but her voice is soothing and easy to listen to. She's the Sarah McLaughlin for Christian music. Very poignant and soul searching! I highly recommend it.

Very nice and worth a listen!

"I Don't Wish That I Am Doing I Am Doing" -- Thanks to God!.......2002-01-26

What an incredible collection of music! Sara's voice is a beautiful instrument for Christ, whether she's singing softer ballads ("Rain") or more rock-oriented songs like the title track. My wife bought me this disc for our anniversary. The title track addressed some issues in my own life in such a powerful way that I cried when I first listened! I have since listened again and again. I was disappointed with the short length, but I cannot let that stop me from giving this disc top ranking. If you want to bathe in the light of the Lord, listen to Sara. She has much to say and share without sugar-coating or sounding like your average CCM artist. She is lyrically and musically sound, with all her efforts being used for the glorification of God. And what glorification! A truly beautiful work. You'll be happy with this disc, I believe, if you are searching for someone who talks truthfully about God and God's relationship in her life.
