Not so much a recording more of a way of life! An annointed set of lively choruses and worship songs acquainted with holiness. 'Gates Of Praise' opens with "We Rejoice That The Lord Is Good" which is praise party meat and drink, with a strong brass section. It moves through a catchy confession "I Am Justified" and culminates in the title song which should sweep through your congregation like a tidal wave! This is Wynne's first release with Kingsway and meets their high standard of live recording, though one quarter are songs from the studio. His voice ranges between Cliff Richard and Glen Campbell and his portfolio includes 'Peoples' Praise' (a series of tapes and song books) and a solo album 'I Have Made A Covenant'. This is a man committed to sharing his vision of spiritual warfare based on Isaiah 60 "He who controls the gates of the city controls the city" through teaching and urban praise explosions! Buy the album and catch the vision.
