This live set of 13 new worship songs features the Grammy award winning choir's trademark power and conviction set to a wall of sound courtesy of a top class backing band and the renowned Nashville String Machine orchestra albeit recorded separately from the event. In addition, guest artistes such as Israel Houghton ("I'll Sing Of Your Love"), Jonathan Butler ("It All Belongs To You") and Paul Baloche ("Helpless") add their vocals and compliment a group of singers who are more than capable in their own right. Tracks like "(In Everything) We Give Thanks" make sure this is a God-glorifying affair whilst the African-tinged "Coming Back" tells of Jesus' return and stirs up an already enthusiastic crowd even more. The Choir have wisely resisted the temptation to make this a whirlwind of high octane gospel numbers and have included more tender numbers such as the aforementioned "Helpless" and the anthemic "Wonderful To Me" to make this an enjoyable and varied release.
