The unimaginatively named Songs Of Worship hail from Kings Church, Chesterfield. Being a big supporter of local churches writing and recording their own worship material rather than just plumping for the latest Hillsong and Bethel Music, I really wanted to like this. Unfortunately, dull melodies, predictable lyrics ("So here we gather/To sing him praises") and a backing track that sounds like it was knocked out in 10 minutes on a home computer all make for a poor single release. The second song, "Follow The Star", is marginally better than "Oh What A Day", but in truth neither song is good enough for public release. No doubt the Songs Of Worship team are Godly people, but they need to develop their songwriting and music production skills before they start circulating their material beyond their church home base.
