The minuses and pluses are pretty obvious on this set recorded at the 2003 Calvary Chapel Southeast Pastors Conference at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island, Florida. Minuses are too many covers, as soon becomes obvious to regular purchasers of worship CDs, tried and tested songs that are essentials when leading a gathering in worship become over familiar when committed to CD. So new renditions of Mullens’ “Awesome God”, Doerksen’s “Light The Fire Again” and Zschech’s “Shout To The Lord” are unlikely to excite. The plus is Malcolm Wild’s Merritt Island church always provide superlative musicians and the pop rock arrangements here are excellent while Mary’s clear voice is effecting on a lovely song like Craig Musseau’s “Pour Out My Heart”. But in truth, this is a far from essential album.
