This album was recorded live at the Vineyard's national 18-30s conference in November 2015 and captures the passionate worship of a generation who are desperate to see a move of God's Kingdom breakout across our nation. It features songs written and performed by Vineyard worship leader and songwriter Dave Miller as well as covers of some of the biggest worship songs of the last few years. The proceedings begin with a classic rendition of "Amazing Grace" which builds from humble beginnings of organ and single male voice then weaving in the choir and congregation ending up a full blooded cry of triumph with huge percussion and a glorious ending reminiscent of U2. Next up is Hughes' "Happy Day" immediately upping the tempo, headed up with a guitar riff right out of The Edge's playbook. "Alive" continues the theme of Christ within us and the effect that has in an equally joyous and suitably upbeat way. The title track and David Miller composition is the highlight of the album for me. Beginning with a slight Celtic air it is an intensely personal testimony building layer by layer drawing you in at the same time reminding that we are all bought and paid for. The whole work is spiritually fulfilling worship and makes you feel you are at one with the congregation there on the night. It is a release I will go back to again and again.
