Dave Wellington is the music pastor at Kensington Temple and he has spent 10 years wanting to release an album. Consequently these songs aren't simply his best but they act like a journal of his spiritual journey. The title cut acted as a catalyst thematically for this release and these 12 songs are designed to lift you from the here and now into a place beyond time. Grand themes need grand music and although this fits roughly into the MOR genre, Dave creates moods and atmospheres that enhance the message of the songs. Worshipful rather than an album of worship songs to sing in church, highlights include the drifting vibe of "You Are The One" and the majestic closing epic "Eternal Love" as well as the poppier "Touch". Recommended if you want to kick off your shoes, pump up the volume and lose yourself in God.
