Apart from a pretty gruesome sleeve picture (a human heart, no less), this double CD is a near-perfect worship album. The production values are magnificent thanks to engineer Chris Greely and Bobby Strand, the lead vocalists - William Matthews, Brian Johnson, Paul McClure, Hannah McClure and Lindsey Strand - are quality, and best of all, the songs are both singable and powerful. Brian Johnson said, "There's a next level of surrender to God on this album. . . The best songs come when it's an honest song that actually starts in a pace in the heart and a posture of worship." Standouts are the hymn-like reverence of "Greatness Of Your Glory", the enveloping "Be Enthroned" powerfully sung by Jeremy Riddle, and the white flag anthem "Have It All". But the absolute classic on this set is, of course, "Lion And The Lamb". This song, penned by Leeland Mooring, Brenton Brown and Brian Johnson, has now travelled around the world connecting with believers in numerous nations. The Redding, California revivalists have surpassed themselves with this captivating collection of songs.
