This is part of a series of compilations released by EMI, encompassing some well known current contemporary worship songs, performed either by the original artists or covered by well known Christian acts. Kicking off is "Your Grace Is Enough" by Chris Tomlin from his classic 'Arriving' album. There is also the original Brenton Brown recording of "Everlasting God", "O Praise Him" by David Crowder Band and, for the umpteenth time on a compilation, "Here I Am To Worship" from Tim Hughes. The covers include Brooke Fraser's "Hosanna" performed by Starfield, Matt Redman's "Better Is One Day" and "Blessed Be Your Name" performed by Kutless and Newsboys respectively and closing the 11-track album is Bethany Dillon singing "How Great Is Our God". Some pretty good performances but I have my doubts about the concept of the series.
