Taking Easter as its theme, this release meditates on the risen power of Jesus through 10 well established songs. The most recent song is a version of Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene's 1991 hit "Mary Did You Know" and this somewhat dated collection is not helped by the '80s production values contained throughout - most notably in renditions of Eddie Carswell's "Arise My Love" and "Rise Again" by Dallas Holm which come complete with mock synthesised orchestration and big power ballad vocals. Instrumental readings of old chestnuts like "Give Thanks", "El Shaddai" and "It Is Well (With My Soul)" seem to work better and, whilst this is hardly groundbreaking stuff, it remains an undeniably Christ-centred offering.
