As many who have been present during Jason's spirit-lifting worship sessions at UK events like Big Church Day Out will testify, Jason is a powerfully anointed prophetic worship man willing to take all kinds of risks as he seeks the now word of God in his musical performances. This latest live album has an ambient sound with long instrumental passages interspersed by Jason's rich baritone. "I Built My House Upon A Stone" begins the album with a long string-like keyboard introduction before electric guitars and drums are added. Piano leads "In Every Grain Of Sand" which is a worshipful song with lyrics "Awaken my soul, to worship you." Another keyboard led-track is "The Garden Song" which talks of the Garden of Eden. At under five minutes, "Freedom Reigns" is one of the two shortest songs on the album and features repeated phrases. The electric guitar lead on this track makes a change from the keyboard sound. The music is well produced with good instrumentation and vocals, although the recording doesn't particularly convey a "live" atmosphere but as usual with Upton albums, the project has the potential to envelope the listener in adoring worship.
