The Mission Bell signals Delirious?'s intent. It’s a call to prayer, a cry out to God, a warning that nothing can ever be the same again. From the war cry of Paint The Town Red (schedule for a big i-Tunes release on October 11th) to the tears at the feet of The Miracle Maker, from the abandon of Here I Am Send Me to the brokenness of Stronger, The Mission Bell rings with an urgency and a passion like no other Delirious? album before. OK, I know that that sounds like the sort of thing you read in things like this, but take the time and you’ll see it’s true.
So what happened? Musically the album’s twelve tracks cast a net over the previous years, moulds, shifts and shapes them. Guitars are bold, melodies inspired, ambiance unavoidable. What has shifted even further are the lyrics. There’s an honesty and fragility about them, seen in tracks like All This Time: “so how can I serve God and wealth? I can captivate an army but I can’t control myself…” Take Off My Shoes takes things a step further, pleading with God to “hold me, blow all the pride from my bones with your fire… breathe on this heart made of stone, keep it pure.”
With The Mission Bell it’s all about finding yourself ready to move on with God, seizing the day and taking the time. Now Is The Time gets to the heart of the matter: “now is the time for us to shine, shine with the light of Christ divine. No compromise, for all heaven cries ‘now is the time’.”

Delirious Mission Bell
Mission Bell is Delirious's eight studio album and in my opinion is everything you would expect from the group. It combines exciting music with deep challenges and messages to our hearts.
The first track Stronger which is on the Narnia Chronicles complilation grows on you declaring the way of unity and love.
The second track Now is the time sets the tone for the whole cd and encourages the church to live our lives now for God as he is alive and we need to take responsibility for the call of God on our lives. Also encourages christians saying that we do make a difference in all our community's we live in.
The third track Solid Rock, which features Toby Mac, declares the intent to stand our ground and stand firm in this world at the present time with all the different troubles.
The fourth track All This Time is about us christians serving God and how it is our time to do his call and be his window to the world.
The fifth track Miracle Maker is about being healed and how we can finally meet god. A very moving song with powerful lyrics that give me goose bumps when I listen to it.
The sixth track Here I Am Send Me is about christians only needing one tiny glimpse of God and how we all need to say "Here I Am Send Me" out into the world God.
The seventh track Fires Burn focuses on Jesus's return how heaven is our detination and one day soon Jesus will come in the clouds and take all his followers home.
The eighth track Our God Reigns discuses issues in the world such as abortion, aids, obsession with self. It is a admission that we have watched and done little to be part of the solution and that we have a great God that reigns even when some aspects have failed to bring God into society.
The ninth track Love Is A Miracle is a song of redemption a celebration of finding God and his miraclous love.
The tenth track Paint The Town Red is a brilliant anthem about the blood of Jesus and how we christians are the army of God and are ready to die.
The eleventh track Take Of My Shoes underlies God's unfailing love for us and his cry for us.
Finally the last track on the album I'll See You is such a haunting song featuring Moya Breannan sounding like an angel singing a Gaelic prayer and is about meeting Jesus face to face.
The 12 songs on The Mission Bell illustrates how Delirious have effectively stretched the boundaries of worship music with out loosing its audience in the process and gives christian faith in these troubled times. It is a very addictive album and definitely is a must have in your collection. Review by Rachel Carlisle.
