This three CD compilation is subtitled 'The Greatest Praise And Worship Songs Of All Time' and begins with a rousing rendition of the ever popular "Come Now Is The Time To Worship". But the hype became quickly evident as what followed was a rendition of choruses from the '80s that now sound very dated. There are some stirring sentiments expressed in these songs and they brought back fond memories of church gatherings and Bible weeks from my formative years. But ultimately this is just a random compilation of songs from various back catalogues, many sung by those Californian super sessioners the Maranatha! Singers. Oddly, this compilation includes Keith Green's performance "Oh Lord, You're Beautiful", a brilliant song marred by being placed amid such a collection of bland congregational singing. Having said that, the third CD features some more recent songs and is a considerable improvement on the first two CDs.
