Pure unadulterated guitar-driven pop rock from the American trio with their second release. It's very easy to see why 4Him have made a huge impression on them because it could be them. The album is a layered sandwich of ballad and uptempo tracks filled with water tight harmonies pointing to their acapella beginnings as a group. The title track, a request for those growing in faith to be supported in prayer, will have you humming the hook long after. "Take Me To The Cross" is a heartfelt cry to come back to the very place our faith was born, sin was forgiven and freedom was bought. If Westlife sang a Christian track, this is what it would sound like. The recording is punchy and choppy with little twists and turns. Christian rock veteran Dana Key is all over this release in both the writing and production. The final track, "From This Day On", leaves the listener with the challenging consideration of whether we have truly made the most of the opportunity given to us in this life? Young lads with a very bright future!
