"1. Take Me Away - This song is all about just being in love with God. Awesome lyrics and music. This song could probably pass for a secular song and land on the radio or a soundtrack for a movie. Great song. (10/10)2. With You - Being with God is amazing, and Sarah shows it on this song. Again excelent lyrics and music. This song could also be just like the song above and land on the radio or on a soundtrack. Catchy tune and words. (10/10)3. Living Hallelujah - This is by far my favorite song (in the world right now) on this CD. Sarah's voice is beautiful. And she wrote this song so that just makes me like it even more. Worship is the topic in this song, and that's exactly what i do when I hear it. And I love how it's so soft and then in the middle Sarah just starts rocking out! Awesome. (20/10)4. Forever - Once again a song of love for the Savior. Really cool guitar solo in the middle. I love this song! (10/10)5. Life Is - God has truly blessed us. That's what this song is about. God is good. He has given us life! Good song. (10/10)6. More Than Anyone - This song says to just love God because. "I want You more". I love this song. True devotion. (10/10)7. Please Forgive Me - Wow! Sarah really just rocks out on this song. Powerful lyrics to go along with the powerful vocals. I'm amazed. (10/10)8. Faithful Father - Based on Matthew 6:28-34. Really cool song. A song of surrender. (10/10)9. Matter of Time - Going to be with the Lord. How many times have you thought about it? Well you can dream some more about it with this song. Great song. (10/10)10. All I See - This song is on Worship. Very beautiful. Just about God. Beautiful. No other words. (10/10)Ok before I even begin my overview of this album I have to say something. If you will notice above all the songs I have scored perfectly. Now I know a lot about music, and trust me it's hard to please me. So I've never scored a whole album perfectly. But if I didn't score this album perfectly then I wouldn't be telling the truth.This is probably the best CD I have ever heard in my life. And maybe it's just me, but the songs that Sarah wrote by herself, I personally think are the best. Inspirational and Hype! This is a great album, and I look forward to hearing more from Sarah.Buy this CD. I promise there will be no regret."

"This is a very good CD. All the songs are uplifting and spiritual. It has a variety of different styles such as slow praise and worship songs to fast songs. The lyrics are powerful and are meaningful to many people. Sarah Kelly's voice is also amazing and she is a talented young lady. My personal favorite song would have to be "Living Hallelujah". The lyrics describe how we should act and be as Christians and it means a lot to me."
A Heart for God

"I just recently got this CD and am very glad I did. The best song by far is the opening track 1 "Take me Away." Sarah Kelly has an amazing voice and her heart for God is apparent. Full of heartfelt worship songs. Another of my favorites is "Faithful Father." awesome lyrics. Very good buy."
Easily my best musical find this year.

"I listened to the Michael W. Smith Ultimate Music Makeover album earlier this year and fell in love with the remake of "You Need a Savior," performed by an artist I'd never heard of before--Sarah Kelly.
Anxious to see what else she'd done, I found her website and listened to "Take Me Away" and "Life Is." Wow. I had to get that album.
To this day, it still astounds me that I'd never heard of Sarah Kelly before. Her music is too good to go unnoticed. I could give a play-by-play of each song, but its really not necessary. Every song on this CD is outstanding (though the two I listed above are my personal favorites). The power in her voice is rare and incredible. Its like listening to a humming bird that can roar like a lion when she wants to (a very musically gifted lion, of course--or perhaps lioness?).
As for the depth of her lyrics, you'll have plenty of things to ponder while listening. Take Me Away is a worship album with punch, both musically and lyrically.
Finally, for those waiting for Sarah's next album to come out (drop I guess is the new term), the wait will be over in August. But in the meantime, she can also be heard on the aforementioned CD and on the Jars of Clay worship album Redemption Songs ("I'll Fly Away")."
