Jenn Johnson – Love Of Christ Ft. Kari Jobe

Jenn Johnson unites with Kari Jobe for something truly extraordinary in Love Of Christ, a sweeping and deeply worshipful record that brings two of the most respected voices in contemporary Christian music together around a theme vast enough to hold both of them comfortably.

The production carries a cinematic quality that feels appropriately expansive for a subject as immeasurable as the love it is attempting to describe, with rich layers of instrumentation that build gradually without ever losing the intimacy that makes the song feel personal rather than merely grand. Jenn Johnson and Kari Jobe complement each other with a vocal chemistry that feels almost inevitable, their individual strengths weaving together in a way that serves the song rather than competing for space within it. Love Of Christ draws from the deep well of Pauline theology, exploring the breadth and length and height and depth of a love that surpasses human understanding, and the musical arrangement honours that enormity without reducing it to something neat or easily contained. The emotional direction of the track moves from reverent contemplation to full-throated declaration in a way that mirrors what genuinely meditating on that love tends to do to a person over time.

Jenn Johnson’s decades of contribution to Bethel Music have produced some of the most enduring worship songs in the modern church canon, and her ability to bring other gifted artists into her creative space without losing the integrity of the vision has always been one of her most underappreciated qualities. Kari Jobe brings her own remarkable legacy of deeply loved worship anthems to this collaboration, and the combination of their two catalogs in a single room represents a meeting of genuinely significant creative forces. Together they have produced something that feels larger than either of their individual contributions, which is precisely what the best collaborations in worship music are supposed to do.

This track has the rare quality of making you feel simultaneously small and completely cherished, which is honestly the most accurate description of what it feels like to truly reckon with the love being sung about. It does not reach for that feeling artificially but creates the conditions for it to arrive naturally, and that distinction makes all the difference in the world.

On first listen the song reaches you through the sheer combined power of two world class vocal performances united around a message that carries genuine theological weight, and that combination produces an impact that is both immediate and lasting. The replay value here is exceptional because the depth of the subject matter means that every time you return to the track you are capable of receiving something from it that your previous listen had not yet prepared you to fully absorb.

This is a record built for the most sacred spaces in a person’s devotional life, extended worship sessions, moments of spiritual breakthrough, quiet times when you need to be re-anchored in something that does not shift with the circumstances around you, or any gathering where the goal is genuine encounter rather than musical entertainment. It carries a weight and a beauty that make it one of the more significant worship collaborations in recent memory and a record that will continue to minister long after its release date has passed.

Listen and Enjoy!
