None of the album was done in a studio. All of the songs were recorded, mixed, and mastered in a small room in my apartment (a few drum parts in our church). I know that I could never have done that, and I still could not, without Jesus. The Lord was the driving force behind every step of the process.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"spotlight aligncenter\" alt=\"Image may contain: 1 person, on stage and playing a musical instrument\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.ford4-1.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/14908402_1082500715196722_2186957148678595626_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&amp;oh=97a480ff5904915836b43c522723f52f&amp;oe=5BEF4E06\" width=\"491\" height=\"327\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The songs on this album are great to use in your worship services. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/jc-dirks\/the-lord-is-his-name\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">The LORD is His Name<\/span><\/a>\u201d, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/jc-dirks\/make-me-like-you\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">Make Me Like You<\/span><\/a>\u201d, and \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/jc-dirks\/hearts-of-full-surrender\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">Hearts Full of Surrender<\/span><\/a>\u201d are some of our favorites. \u201cThe LORD is His Name\u2019 speaks about the power and greatness of God in the verse and then bursts out into a song of response to His greatness in the chorus.
