Ivan Parker does a nice rendition of the title track, after which many of the favourite Gaither artists, ie, Russ Taff, David Phelps, Jake Hess and Hovie Lister each take a turn. "Come Spring", featuring Jessica King, Sheri Easter and Charlotte Ritchie, is a new song and very, very country. Long time Nashville saxophonist Boots Randolph makes a surprise appearance with his own medley. There are nice contributions from Randy Travis - "Feet On The Rock" - and Larry Gatlin - "Lay Them Down", but the undoubted highlight is the surprise appearance of Don Francisco with his classic "He's Alive" which still retains its capacity to take the listener's my breath away with its powerful narrative lyrics of the Resurrection! A very good album indeed.

Lay them down....a beautiful melody with heart- piercing words.

However, I cannot find the sheet music anywhere. Does anyone know where I can purchase this music?
