Apart from a pretty gruesome sleeve picture (a human heart, no less), this double CD is a near-perfect worship album. The production values are magnificent thanks to engineer Chris Greely and Bobby Strand, the lead vocalists - William Matthews, Brian Johnson, Paul McClure, Hannah McClure and Lindsey Strand - are quality, and best of all, the songs are both singable and powerful. Brian Johnson said, "There's a next level of surrender to God on this album. . . The best songs come when it's an honest song that actually starts in a pace in the heart and a posture of worship." Standouts are the hymn-like reverence of "Greatness Of Your Glory", the enveloping "Be Enthroned" powerfully sung by Jeremy Riddle, and the white flag anthem "Have It All". But the absolute classic on this set is, of course, "Lion And The Lamb". This song, penned by Leeland Mooring, Brenton Brown and Brian Johnson, has now travelled around the world connecting with believers in numerous nations. The Redding, California revivalists have surpassed themselves with this captivating collection of songs.

Product Description
Bethel Music’s upcoming album Have It All features 14 new songs centered upon God’s nature, His promises, and His presence in our lives. Featuring 13 worship leaders from the Bethel Music Collective including Brian & Jenn Johnson, Jeremy Riddle, Steffany Gretzinger, Amanda Cook, William Matthews, Jonathan Helser and more, this album is the first to be recorded live during Bethel Church weekend services since For the Sake of the World. The album captures the refreshing essence of live worship and includes spontaneous moments as those gathered respond in His presence. The album’s heartbeat can be summed up by these lyrics from the title track: “You can have it all Lord, every part of my world, take this life and breathe on this heart that is now yours.” Have It All is a statement of surrender and hunger; to not just bring an offering of praise, but to become a living sacrifice of worship. Written from a combination of personal journeys that carried a common thread, the vulnerability, honesty and resilience behind this project will encourage individuals and communities. Like the woman who broke her alabaster jar at Jesus’ feet, these songs exhort the corporate church to continue to live without reservation in bringing the Lord our best offering - our fully devoted hearts.
