This is one of two EPs planned by Grace Covenant Church in Washington DC and a full album is set to be released in May 2016. The EP consists of three songs sung by various members of the church. All of the tracks have strong worship-focussed lyrics but vary in their musical styles. The title track sung by Robert Ellis and Rob Kidd is a soulful R&B style song featuring a strong horn section and lyrics which proclaim, "You are God and you are Lord of all/Triumphant King you reign in victory." The next two songs are both sung by Tifany Wilson. "Great I Am" features a pop style arrangement that would suit many local church bands while "Only You" is straight ahead rock with electric guitars and thundering drums. Overall, while the mixture of styles is interesting, it means that the EP lacks a coherent approach though this is still a good effort by the church worship team.
