The Dysart Family joins Crossroads
The Dysart Family
The Dysart Family, a family group from Missouri, offer Southern Gospel fans a diverse and powerful selection of music with their fine mixed quartet harmonies and unique family blend. Lewain and Lorena Dysart, and their five children, are thrilled to have the opportunity to share songs of worship with a greater audience with this first recording for the label.
Their song selections come from noted writers like Rodney Griffin (“Enjoy Your Day”) and Ben Storie (“Up and Away,” the first single). LeWain and daughter Kendra also contribute original titles like “He Will Be with You,” featuring Kendra’s powerful vocals, and “Jesus Speaks Peace,” a beautiful ballad about the comfort Christ offers.
LeWain Dysart comments on the new relationship with Crossroads: “The Lord has given our family the special privilege of sharing the gospel in song across the United States. My wife Lorena, our five children, and I, are delighted to be included in the Crossroads family of artists. Our prayer, where ever we go, is that as we worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that all those present will join us.”
The album is available now for pre-order here.
