Not another compilation? There seems to be rather too many of these being released at the moment, instead of spending the money to promote new talent. "What next?", I ask myself. "The best of the 'best of' album?". This one, for what it's worth, is fairly mediocre in quality. The opening two tracks had me cringing as I visualised Alvin Stardust on those quirky Rock Gospel Shows of the '80s. The first high point comes from Trish Morgan and the beautifully crafted "You Are Lord". Martin Smith then brings acoustic worship to its peak with his own "Thank You For Saving Me". Listening to the response of those gathered at the event, there is no doubt that, at the time, worship was special. However, after listening to so many similar albums over the last couple of months, I found this- despite Noel Richards' "Behold The Lord"- just uninspiring.
