The Lawyer's Christian Fellowship have the verse "show justice, love mercy" from Micah 6v8 as their motto and they could easily adopt the second track from this latest Kingsway compilation as their anthem. In fact the LCF could use this whole collection as a soundtrack to their overall mission with justice and mercy being the thread that permeates the whole album. It is a collection of lesser known tracks from well-known worship leaders and singers, featuring Tim Hughes, Stuart Townend, Noel Richards among others. Each song shares a similar slow tempo and contemplative feel, which is perhaps the inevitable consequence of the subject matter, and the album provides an excellent tool for sitting still and meditating on the unending riches of God's mercy. "We Must Go" is the final call of the album, given by Tim Hughes, which impresses upon us not just to sing but to be moved into action. The repeated line, "Fill us up and send us out Lord" will hopefully see many getting more engaged with social justice.
