Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

Redeemed Website SidebarPraise the one who breaks the darkness
With a liberating light;
Praise the one who frees the pris’ners,
Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the one who preached the gospel,
Healing ev’ry dread disease,
Calming storms and feeding thousands
With the Father’s word of peace.

Praise the one who blessed the children
With a strong, yet gentle, word;
Praise the one who drove out demons
With the piercing, two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
To the desert’s burning sand;
From this well comes living water,
Quenching thirst in ev’ry land.

Let us praise the Word incarnate,

About the Performers:

Koiné’s humble roots originate in the heartland of America, in a city known for its rich German history, its famous barley and hops, and many festivals – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  It’s here that five unique artists, each with their own talents and abilities, came together in 2003 to put a new twist on traditional, Christian music.  Staring at each other, blankly, with their instruments in one hand and their hymnals in the other, Koiné set about reinventing the way we listen to hymns.

To date, Koiné has toured across 35 states since its inception, producing 5 studio albums and a repertoire of over 250 hymns and liturgical pieces.  They sell their CD’s all over the world in places as far Germany, Australia and Hong Kong.  This year alone, Koiné will play around 200 events at churches, community festivals, grade schools, high schools, and colleges.  This is a full-time ministry for the members of the group, and is supported almost entirely by the generosity of people who come to their events.

Koiné is a Greek word that means “common.”  Koiné Greek was the language that the New Testament was originally written in.  It was a common language for the common man – everyone could understand it.  The members of Koiné are common people too.  They play common instruments and common hymns that many know and enjoy.  The only extraordinary thing about Koiné and what they do is the message that they proclaim through the music they play, the same message of the Bible – Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
