A budget line compilation of worship cover versions, the album kicks off with a great instrumental intro for Tim Hughes and Nick Herbert's "Jesus Saves", and I love the high octane sound as the bass kicks in with this unapologetic declaration of faith. Phil Wickham's iconic "This Is Amazing Grace" is up next and I am not surprised they named the CD after it. Other favourites for me are Jesus Culture's "Glorious" with its Celtic-sounding riff and easy to join in syncopated chorus; "At Your Name" co-written by Tim Hughes and Phil Wickham in praise of the name of Yahweh; the beautiful congregational hymn "Sinless Saviour" by Aaron Keyes and best of all Tim Hughes' classic anthem "The Cross Stands". As is usual with such albums, the sleeve fails to indicate lead vocalists or musicians.
