Lisa Page Brooks will debut her new single “Better Than Life” on a very special presentation of Rejoice in the Word on Friday, November 16th, highlighting The Word Network’s brand new state of the art television production facility.
“Better Than Life” ranks at #31 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs Chart and is the lead single from Brook’s forthcoming Habbakuk Music CD scheduled to be released on February 5, 2013.
The song holds a special place in Lisa’s life as it was birthed in her as she meditated on Psalms 63. She shared with her husband the “musicman himself” Pastor Michael Brooks and taught it to the church praise team. Her daughter worked out the vocal arrangement and her son produced the song under the careful observation of her husband.
