A featured worship leader on Gateway Worship projects, Living for You and Wake Up the World, Kari Jobe releases her self-titled debut through Gateway Create Publishing and Integrity Music on February 10, 2009. Produced by Ed Cash, the album contains a collection of worship pop/folk songs written by Kari Jobe as well as co-writes with worship leaders/songwriters Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, Mia Fieldes, Ed Cash and Klaus Kuehn. The album Kari Jobe features new versions of the popular "Revelation Song", "No Sweeter Name", and "My Beloved" in addition to new songs of worship birthed from her life and journals.
The deeply personal "You Are for Me" is one of Kari's favorites. "This song is gut-wrenching for me. There are times you are so broken that all you can do is sing over yourself with words like, 'God is for me.' But I believe it is one song that people can use to remember that God is for us. So who can be against us?" Songs of intimate musings are balanced with songs created for shouting. The buoyant "Everyone Needs a Little" bubbles with expressions of love, joy and hope for all and "I'm Singing" conveys a simple happiness of heart in vocal praise to God. "This album is about hope and life; it's about lifting the broken off the floor and singing love over them," says Kari. "The songs create intimate moments and outward shouting, and it's my hope that these songs find the broken and lift them to a place of praise to God for what He's done."
