Totally class album. Something which I intend to give to all my non-Christian friends as all the songs are amazingly anointed and skilfully executed - God's presence just seems to descend when I play it. WOW

'Reveal Your Cross to Me' is one of the most challenging songs I have heard in nearly 20 years as a Christian. I hope that a record deal will not mean that his PASSION and BOLDNESS are tamed to gain the general appeal that labels look for to sell more copies. Go for it Luke!

Luke has a passion for God and to lead people in worship. His style on 'Run' is 'heavier' than some people's taste but why be limited to the 'mellow', 'pop' or rock' genres of many worship albums. I pre-ordered 1st copy of CD in 2005 pre-release and have nearly worn out the 2nd copy. Quality of recording is not wonderful but as with many first albums was done on a tighter budget. The variety of the musical styles on 'Run' is brilliant.

JOHN FINN may not have the best taste in music! HOWEVER.. He knows the anointing very much so! I am sure I would rather have the holy spirit than good production! =] Plus this album recorded live and the mics were out of place!
PILLAR are HEAVY ROCK and Luke is more Indie/Alternate if you get my drift! I dont get how pure worship such as Reveal your cross sounds like Pillar. =P
Sorry.. I get easily confused and I have NOTHING BETTER to do right now lol!

I love this album, ok, it is his first album and yeah they had the sound quality isn't amazing but I understand there was a lot of difficulties in recording, credit where credit's due, this album is full of passion, enthusiasm and a pure heart for seeking God and drawing people into His prescence, He does deserve to be one of the biggest worship leaders in England and I'm sure when he records in some of Matt/Tim/David/Chris's studio equivelants he'll blow us all away! Give him a break, I've seen Luke play a few times and when I heard "Visit us again" it made me cry!

Luke's album is clearly his first album, as when you compare it next to things like Hillsongs, Chris tomlin, Tim Hughes, David Crowder Band and many more he comes no where near.
Lukes Worship is in a area like pillar that i don't like. To be frank it is rubbish

I think that John Finlayson's taste of music is totally and utterly rubbish,. as Lukes album is of terrible quality and the songs are not joyful at all.

Absolutely excellent. The music and the words are full of passion and excellent for worship. The 4th song on the album 'reveal your cross to me' will touch many hearts, both Christian and non Christian.

I bought the CD and found it to be a bit of a disappointment. It was obviously very passionate but I felt it was lacking musically.
