This is for me the best and the most encouraging album of Brian Houston. This music really lifts you up. It reminds me of the Sun recordings of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash and also Mahalia Jackson. The Singing is in some songs is as soulful as the Soul Stirrers or the Swan Silvertones. This is the best worship album that I have heard in a long, long time and if have to go to an island and could take only ten albums with me, this would be one of them. The lyrics of 'God don't worry' are also very interesting. I never have heard a song with lyrics like that before.
