Album Notes Talented singer and performer Susanna’s first album produced and recorded in Australia is a very accessible, melodic collection of inspirational songs inspired by passages from both the Old and New Testaments, with a unique musical blend of the Hebraic with contemporary Christian - both the lyrics and the music, with some evoking guitar solos. The rhythms on this unusual album range from hand-clapping, to balladic, to jazzy to international/middle Eastern and the melodies reflect the interesting, attractive range of Susanna’s musicality. You’ll find Susanna’s own, buoyant personality and joie de vivre and her trademark classy, pure tones on every track. Listen - you'll be charmed! The Album’s title is inspired by the mysterious, yet-to-be-discovered final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant and like this mystery, Susanna utilizes passages and verses from both Testaments to explore the joys and wonders of living, loving and the unending depth of the Grand Mystery of God and His creations. What’s wonderful about Susanna’s renditions of inspirational songs is that her choices are always tasteful, never forcing and therefore, always appealing. This is why she has a wide following that spans both Christian music and popular music fans alike. The Resting Place. Peaceful. Warm. Heartfelt. Gentle. As it should be. Track 1 Shema The pivotal affirmation of faith that is the very basis of Jewish belief: “Hear O Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is One.” An appropriate introduction to the faith upheld via the songs on this album. Track 2 David’s Song Echoing the words of King David’s own outpouring of his heart to God. Based on various Psalms of David in an affecting ballad. Track 3 Halelu Baruch Ha’Shem A generic song of faith - upbeat, catchy, joyful, blessing the Name of God. Track 4 The Resting Place The album’s title song - gentle, sincere, heartfelt, lyrical, moving, with smooth, jazzy overtones. Again Susanna's singing will reach out and touch you. Track 5 Hallelujah Adonai A wonderful, uplifting song of joy and praise, catching the singer’s joie de vivre, which is inherent in her roots. A catchy adaptation from some of the well-known and beloved Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd..." Track 6 El Shaddai Susanna’s moving rendition of the international and inspirational hit, made popular by Amy Grant. “Shaddai” or “Sheild” is one of God’s names and depicted by he Star of David. Track 7 A Psalm of Thanksgiving The rousing melody and hand-clapping tempo has middle-Eastern overtones as Susanna switches gears once again. Track 8 I Feel You (Jesus) in My Soul Here is the blend of the Old and the New, effortlessly put across in contemporary light rock. Catchy, easy going and with Susanna, always heartfelt, always stylish. Track 9 Adonai Tzvoa’ot An intriguing musical exploration into the mystery of God’s everlasting kindness as exemplified by His many names (72) as taught in the study of the Torah and its commentaries. Track 10 Chosen Susanna’s contemplative, yet meaningful tribute to Jesus in contemporary rock rhythms. The lyrics explore the aspects of Jesus being chosen as Savior The always inviting sincerity in Susanna’s singing is well captured here. Track 11 My Savior Another contemporary rock look at the merging of two great faiths - Judaism and Christianity through Jesus Christ, reflecting the singer's stauchness and depth of faith. Again, always with Susanna’s inimitable touch of class in her gentle, understated presentation.
