Reviewed by Andy Cooper

This is the sixth album in Kingsway's Here I Am To Worship series and continues the theme, but now with a live element. The songs are generally well chosen, including new and nearly new ones from writers such as Brenton Brown, Tim Hughes, Lou Fellingham, Paul Oakley and Godfrey Birtill. Godfrey's "Just One Touch From The King" is the definite highlight of the set, but unfortunately none of the songs are performed by their writers here. There is nothing particularly wrong with the performances: the vocals from Andy Green, Brent Miller, Doug Walker, Ingrid DuMosch and Tim Light are all clear and strong, and the musicians all play well enough, but it is all done in a rather "no frills" manner. The DVD is also a bit lackluster, with minimal creativity, while all the band virtually have both feet glued to the floor. It's far better to just listen to the CD and not be put off by the glum faces of the rhythm section sighted on the DVD. Treat this more as a tool for a worship band to get to know new songs rather than as uplifting entertainment for the car or home. But in that case, it's a big shame that chord sheets were not included.
