An above average privately produced praise and worship album. Ezra is Mark and Maria Brannelly, both professional musicians in their own right. Mark's voice features prominently and is reminiscent of West End musical artistes. Styles vary from meditative ("Forever") to rock ("Danger Zone") and all tracks are original. By the quality of musicianship and the sincerity and passion of the lyrics on this album. Ezra must be an asset both to their church (Church Hill Christian Fellowship, which includes Andy Hill, who contributed both lyrics and bass to this CD) and to the live CCM scene of middle England. Overall, nothing new here but enjoyable all the same.
