Most of the tracks credited to Oasis Worship Group. Whoever this anonymous aggregation are, they play and sing with a lot of energy and thankfully are not over-produced. There are plenty of top rate songs here including Brian Doerksen's "The River", Tim Hughes' "Consuming Fire" and Vicky Beeching's "Everlasting God". Most of the songs are fairly upbeat, like the stomping "Deep Cries Out" which starts disc two with a real groove while Britain's Andy Green does a great job on lead vocals and Brent Miller gives a rougher edge when needed, for example on "I Will Follow". To me, Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God" is the essence of worship and it's so good, though hardly surprising, to hear a rendition on this set. A different feel is created in "Love The Lord" when Melbourne Worship Centre lead and "Still (Hide Me Now)", sourced from City Life Church, Australia. My favourite song has to be "Saviour Of The World" by Ben Cantelon: really, how can you go wrong with wonderful lyrics like these?
