This CD is promoted under the CWR banner with the name of Selwyn Hughes (writer of the popular Every Day With Jesus Bible reading notes) featured on the sleeve rather than Keith Routledge. In fact, this is another instrumental album featuring piano accompanied by flute, oboe, cello and harp, rendering a selection of well known worship songs such as "All Heaven Declares" and "I Give You All The Honour". It includes Keith Routledge's best known song "My Peace I Give Unto You" and three new songs by him, one of which "Shepherd Love" is the best track, though not standing out much in a very even, well produced CD. While very pleasant. this CD lacked the warmth of Keith Routledge's 1991 album for Kingsway, "Give Thanks'. This would make a good accompaniment to Bible reading or meditation but it is disappointing not to have a Bible reference given for each song. Also, it is frustrating to have the lyrics of an instrumental album printed in the wrong running order on the sleeve.
