"This CD makes such a great gift, I have to keep ordering more copies.

Four godly men: an Irishman, an Englishman, an American, and a Scot came together to make some great music. I already loved the music of Robin Mark and Stuart Townend. Getting to know Gary Sadler and John Hartley was just a bonus. In addition to the title track, some of my favorites are "In Christ Alone", "How Long", "Where Truth and Mercy Meet", When Love Came Down, " How Matchless is Your Love.... Hmm... they're all great songs. Not a clinker in the mix.

Not for Robin Mark listeners

"If you like Robin Marks' type of Celtic worship - you will be sadly disappointed with this cd. It baffles me as to why an artist departs from what makes them likeable or successful. The old saying,"If isn't broke don't fix it" applies to this cd. This is overmixed, studio refined, gimmicky and uninspiring. May I say it is like as if Loreena McKennit thought it may be a good idea to change and become like Karen Carpenter, or Mylee Cyrus. There is a woman on this cd trying to mystically chant like Enya - it doesn't work. Reminds me of Yoko Ono's orgasm impresssion from Lennon-Ono Double Fantasy. Very trying for a worship cd. Increase your donation to the offering plate instead of wasting your money on this release from Robin Mark. Shame on you Robin for attempting to change from how GOD made you successful. Holdfast to your gift - WORSHIP!"
