The Wisecarvers want fans to see the likeness of Christ with “Silhouette”

Arden, NC. (July 30, 2018) – With their upcoming release, Silhouette, The Wisecarvers are stating who they are and how they want to be seen — as the likeness of Jesus. When someone sees silhouettes, they can see there’s a person, but not who it is. This talented family wants you to shift your focus from them to see Jesus through their ministry. Find them on the web here.

From the first note of “Begin With You,” listeners will know Chase, Dustin, Kaila, Tammy and Vince Wisecarver poured their souls into the new album. The songs, all penned by family members except for one, range from the driving sounds of “Love You Still” to the quiet inner perspective of “Potter’s Wheel.” The album closes with the classic “Amazing Grace” featuring authentic vocals and Dustin on harmonica.

The album’s title track and first single, to be released August 3, is an upbeat tune written by Kaila and features Chase with a strong lyric. It reminds us that each day we have the opportunity to be the light in a dark world.

I want You to shine, Like the brightest daylight
Til the world can’t get a glimpse of who I am
I want them to see, You and not me
So the only thing that’s left is just a silhouette
“When You Look At Me” features Kaila with a thought-provoking lyric that carries on the theme of how we are perceived, but this time from God’s point of view. “When You look at me do You see anything that makes You smile?” asking God if we are living a pleasing life in His sight.

Tammy Wisecarver shares, “For months now since we’ve been working on Silhouette, we’ve known that it was something special, something different. As each aspect of the album started coming together, we could feel that God was using these songs in a powerful way in our own lives, and we pray that from the moment folks hear the first note, they feel not only encouraged and uplifted, but challenged to be all that God has planned for them to be and nothing less. All of the Crossroads team worked diligently to make each part of this recording the best it could be and their hard work is evident in the final product! We can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

Silhouette will be released September 28 on Skyland Records. Pre-order it HERE.
