The front sleeve bears the explanatory note, "A unique collection of original recordings compiled exclusively for Don't Stand In Silence." And if you didn't know, Don't Stand In Silence is a New Malden-based charity which seeks to bring relief to the millions of broken and downtrodden. This five song EP features a beautiful anthem by Graham Kendrick, "How Long?", which is to my ears among the most powerful songs the worship veteran has ever penned. If that isn't enough, there are also original songs by Dave Bilbrough, Sarah Armitage, David Hind and Tamsin Kendrick (the latter a moving poem by Graham's daughter). But it's that classic "How Long?" song which continues to resonate. You can get this EP by sending a donation to Don't Stand In Silence. I would urge you to do so.
