15 lively tracks recorded in front of an appreciative audience, judging by the cheers that open the album. Those cheers are followed by four stomping openers, the best of which is probably "Let Your Light Shine", before things quieten down a bit with the excellent "God You Make Me Smile" and "Let The Children Come". The other standout tracks are the rock and roll "Radio", the reflective "Look From Heaven" and the final track "I Believe In Jesus" which dares you to make a stand. As you'd expect from an album made by the cash-rich Australian mega-church, the project is very well produced, with a very contemporary pop sound - my kids said it reminded them of McFly or S Club, so it's probably hit about the right spot. This is the type of CD that is intended to be played and played, the repetition of the simple, but affirming lyrics, intended to build up faith in our children. Good news for parents, it's an album that will stand repetition, perhaps on that long car journey, without reducing you to gibbering wrecks. And you are more than likely to have your faith built up too. You might even find yourself singing along.
