The songs have been taken from a variety of sources such as Hillsong ("Mighty To Save"), Hillsong United ("From The Inside Out"), New Frontiers' Stuart Townend ("Salvation's Song") and Lou Fellingham/Phatfish ("Promised Land"), Joanne Hogg ("Where Grace Is Hiding") and Brenton Brown ("Hosanna"), Geraldine Latty ("Hold It All"), Soul Survivor's Tim Hughes ("Happy Day") and Matt Redman ("You Never Let Go"), and even Charles Wesley. Many of the songs include the original artists' vocals (except Charles Wesley!). All the songs have been re-recorded into what are much simpler arrangements, and thankfully ones that are realistically achievable in the average contemporary church, whereas the originals can be intimidating in their complexity. The main drawn back however is the lack of an accompanying songbook. It is possible to download each song sheet from the Kingsway website, but if you did that for every song it would cost about £73!
