Worship recorded at New Wine 2000 with worship leaders Neil Bennetts, Tim Hughes, Gareth Robinson and the fine American Scott Underwood. There are some recent songs by Matt Redman ("Let My Words Be Few", "You Led Me To The Cross") and Vineyard favourites Brenton Brown and Brian Doerksen ("Hallelujah, Your Love Is Amazing"), several new songs by the worship leaders themselves and one old favourite specially souped up for the occasion ("I Will Sing The Wondrous Story"), as well as the obligatory spontaneous interlude. The cover notes express the wish that listeners will "capture some of what God was doing at New Wine 2000", but I suspect the real attraction of this collection is for those who were there themselves and want to recapture the atmosphere. It's a pleasant album and there's nothing to criticise here - but nothing to set it apart from dozens of other live worship albums either.
