It was a sermon from the larger-than-life patriarch of Britain's gospel scene the Rev Charles Buckman which inspired this mid tempo song and bits of the sermon are even sampled to play underneath. Unfortunately this single, featuring four different mixes of the song, never catches fire as the melody is hardly exceptional while Theo, the worship leader at Rev Buckman's Eagles Nest Community Church sings with little fire or passion. Some nice soprano sax is featured but I doubt whether that will encourage many to send off their cheques.
