'Year Of Grace' is another brilliant live worship album from the Ulster worship man Robin, who has pioneered Celtic-tinged worship music. Recorded live in New York, it was written to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Ulster Revival and is crammed with fine new songs and bags of atmosphere. Particular standouts aer "Watchman" and "Year Of Grace" which both open with stirring whistle playing and resonate with the sound of Irish folk music. Another highlight is "Highly Exalted" which Mark co-wrote with well known worship leader Paul Baloche. It is a song that is anthemic and will cause any congregation to add their voices to the chorus of praise. This is a great live album.
