One of Twila's best

"I would have written this review anyway, but I just had to respond to the review by "Ice Man." It seems like we must have listened to two different albums because my opinion of "He is Exalted" is the exact opposite. Just listen to "Days of Elijah" and you'll see that Twila is not bored. "Days" is full of energy and power. Other great upbeat songs on the CD include "Hosanna" and "Messiah," which I absolutely love. The violin on "Messiah" is absolutely haunting and beautiful. Contrary to other reviews, I think these are some very powerful, classic Twila Paris lyrics. The wonderful upbeat new arrangements of "He Is Exalted" and "God Is In Control" bring freshness to two classic tunes. "Hold Me Close" is a classic Twila ballad with beautiful lyrics and music. Twila writes some of the most powerful and beautiful lyrics in Christian music and she continues that trend with this project. The previously mentioned songs as well as "Holy" and "Enter In" are a classic combination of powerful lyrics and beautiful melodies. The "Live" aspect of this project is that most of the tracks were recorded at the same time, unlike studio recordings where the rhythm tracks might be recorded at one time, piano added another time, then vocals, etc. My guess is that the musicians were in separate rooms for their parts and the choir was together in another room as was Twila. This was a great way to record this CD because it gives it that great praise and worship feel with the choir clapping and chanting. One word of caution about this CD: be careful if you are driving a car while listening to it. It's easy to get carried away with praising and worshipping the Lord while forgetting that you need to watch where you're going! I highly recommend this CD for anyone wanting a great praise and worship experience."

The Best Worship Album I've Heard

"I LOVE this album and it's nice to see Integrity Music sign on someone like Twila who not only has the integrity as a Christian leader, but also has the talent from God to put out such a worshipful CD.



Not bad for a 40-something mama either! :)



I highly recommend this album above just about any others I have heard. Her new arrangements for God is in Control is awesome and the other songs she didn't write like Days of Elijah are absolutely wonderful.



In a day and age where "worship" music is focused on us as the worshippers, it's beautiful to see someone focus on Christ and Him in worship. I hope she does more in the future.



Get this today, you won't be disappointed!"

Fresh, Excellent, Live, Twila At Her Best As Usual!!!

"This is an incredible CD with world class musicians, back up singers and of course Twila at her best. The band is really hot.



Hearing Twila live is so refreshing. She starts out with big sounding worship and ends with beautiful soft worship as only Twila can do. Just when you think you have heard all Twila has she brings a CD like this along. Just superb!



I have all Twila's CDs. I have been to three of her concerts. I've met her one time. She is the same person on CDs, concerts and in person. One beautiful person!
