It’s been a long time comin’.

On November 12, 2012 and just in time for your Christmas shopping, Great Comfort Records will release Who Was And Is And Is To Come, the first record from Lenny Smith in over 12 years. A gospel album of simple but certain declarations about the primacy of Maker over everything else, this extraordinary music carries the assurance that what is good and lovely will carry the day, that all things sad will become untrue.

Lenny Smith’s latest outing, Who Was And Is And Is To Come, is making people happy far and wide–even music critics! Click here to order, and check out some of the terrific reviews below.

“Smith’s words are void of brimstone. His ruminations are simple, sometimes hushed, as he beckons to hear that still, small voice. But the journey isn’t just about introspection. It’s about celebration. There is something very fitting about it all. While so many are calling down fire from heaven, eagerly awaiting a swift vengeance, Smith is gently up turning evidence of his Maker in the quiet spaces; beneath sheets of darkness and layers of corrosion; in the trees and rocks, and inside of his very soul. “The earth”, he writes in the liner notes, “knows something”. These are words of reconciliation and healing that we could all use right now.”

“It’s simple and innocent stuff which grows on you with each listen: songs of a seasoned writer and believer about the Maker, his people and their world, woven with an assurance that love will triumph, healing will come and the goodness of God is irresistible. You’ll find singalong choruses, a real sense of enjoyment and family plus a little wry humour.”
