Despite being the third album in the series put together by a sterling bunch of UK sessioners, there is an international sweep of songs here from the usual suspects including Hillsong, Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman which incorporate the last few years of contemporary worship music. Even the more familiar tracks such as "Hosanna" and "Happy Day" are played and sung in strong arrangements. Newer, less familiar contributions, such as "I Will Choose To Praise You", co-written and performed by Cathy Burton, and Marc James' "Jesus Meet Me" are also well up to standard. With strong guitar backing from Dan Wheeler throughout the album and soulful vocals from one time Tribe man Quintin Delport on a large number of the tracks there is a consistency of performance throughout this set. To pick holes in such a solid offering would be unfair. Overall Paul Burton has produced an excellent album that showcases contemporary worship music in a very favourable light.
