In a church in Somerset far away from the big event spotlight Rowena and Nigel Steady's Cherith Music have served the Lord with by supporting grassroots ministry music and we have them to thank for this pleasing if hardly groundbreaking album from a lass with sweet and expressive voice. Production and arrangement is obviously budget-line but "You're The Word Of God The Father" has a nice creation theme, while "Every Promise" (Townend/Getty) is an appealing song, though the uptempo country flavoured treatment doesn't do it any favours. My favourite song is "You Are My Strength" (penned by America's Dennis Jernigan) with a catchy melody, worthy vocal harmonies and faith-filled lyrics ("Seeking you as a precious jewel/Lord, to give up I'd be a fool/You are my all in all").
