Chuck describes this recording as "the realisation of a dream I have had on my heart for 10 years." In a sense it is a shame that it took this long to come about as the jingle jangle keyboards and saccharine synthesisers which dominate the album do sound somewhat dated now, veering dangerously close to the genre of elevator music. The lyrics provide a check on this, being thoughtful and reflective; as the title suggests, the album ideal for a personal worship situation. However, one song sounds much the same as the next, in an attempt to "carry the listener...into deep places," which is really only possible if the music communicates well to you in the first place. There is the odd more interesting exception, however, such as "The Days Are Young", but these only go to highlight the monotony of the rest of the album. As such, I would only recommend this album if you are a fan of keyboard-orientated music or someone still nostalgic for Chuck's pioneering years with Jesus Music veterans Love Song.
One of the rarely, genuinely, truely anointed music I ever heard! Supurb worship music leads you to directly to the thrown of God!
