Following on from the successes of the Belfast-based worship leader's CDs 'Revival In Belfast', 'Come Heal This Land' and 'Revival In Belfast 2', Integrity have released this compilation of live material from the albums. Anyone familiar with his material will know the anointing and power that these songs have and the pure passion that Mark himself, and every other musician involved, puts into their delivery. By now, most of these songs will be very familiar to many people but this collection only succeeds in affirming what a gifting Mark has. Kicking off with arguably his best known song "Days Of Elijah", the proceedings are thrown into a no holds barred Celtic-tinged worship session with the customary Robin Mark pounding rhythm throughout. Second up is "You're The Lion Of Judah" which carries on in very much the same vein, complete with a surprise Irish jig halfway through which no doubt sends the crowd into a Riverdance-styled frenzy. It is perhaps the mix of traditional Irish and modern day worship instrumentation that makes these recordings stand out from the rest given the emotion and the ability to pull at the heart that Irish music has - not to mention the powerful and God proclaiming lyricism of Mark himself. Other welcome classics are included here with the likes of "Revival", "Jesus All For Jesus" and "Not By Might" making an appearance. The pace fittingly slows down with slower numbers such as "Everything Cries Holy" and "The Wonder Of Your Cross" till we reach the beautiful song of reflection "When It's All Been Said And Done" right at the very end. My only slight complaint is the lack of musician credits in the sleeve.
