High level production techniques make this inspiration collection an easy listener. Some sound like they are from out of the Vineyard with the soft strains of synth. The opening track, "In Majesty" is rather special, a praise song which lifts up the name of the Lord with enthusiastic musical and vocal backing. The title track is a pleasantly smooth declaration of the joy available to those who live in the miracle of His creation. With the exception of "Amazing Grace" the whole album has been highly polished and mixed at Goldmine Studios, Nashville. The exception is an interesting choral arrangement of 12 voices at they paint a somewhat abstract interpretation of the much loved song by Johns Newton and Rees. Robert Sterling's lyrics are touchingly rendered on "I Choose Jesus"."Not for miracles but for loving me/Not for Bethlehem but for Calvary/Not for a day but for eternity". Also having an impact are the words of Eric Champion "Heaven and Earth". "Living life day to day /sometimes we choose a lasting love/but only half way/so much time goes by/while we struggle on our own/ignoring you by our side."

Hey did you ever get those tracks. I’m looking for some myself. Mainly Judgement in the Gate.

I'm looking for a performance track titled: "He Is Messiah" (Luke Garrett) so I can sing it again.

Hi Luke, You sang at our former church North Glencoe Baptist in Glencoe Alabama. Our pastor David Cofield moved on to a church in Georgia & we visited & attended there as well & heard you sing. Our CD"s are about worn completely out. Is there anyway we could purchase new CD's? Please let us know. Been praying for your brother Doug also. Praise the LORD we're still standing for HIM!!! Love in CHRIST, Rebekah Vinyard,

Steve, is there any way I can get a copy of His Word Will Stand soundtrack? I need it for a special service at church and have been searchign EVERYWHERE!

Also, I have a copy of a choral version of Playing Games at the Foot of the Cross, along with sheet music. It is an even prettier track than the original. Just gorgeous.

Any help on His Word Will Stand would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have two of Luke Garrett's CD's. Almost every morning, I listen to his worship in song. And his lyrics and music fill my heart and soul and strength and mind. A pleasant focus to the start of a new day of asking, "What are your plans for me, Father." I wonder if Mr. Garrett knows how instrumental he is to his fans? As a choreographer for Praise Dance at our church, with his songs leading the worship through lyrical movements, it is very, very good...

We saw Luke in Louisville, Kentucky in June. He sang for the Southern Baptist Convention. I was so hoping I would be able to talk to him, but he didn't stick around and didn't have a display table or any of his new or old music. He sounded great, wish he had sung more.
