Florida-based singer/songwriter Johnny survived a serious car accident, a robbery in which he received a gunshot wound to his face and the death of his mother to produce this inspiring album. The title track, one of the 11 tracks written by Johnny, is a mid tempo praise and worship song that demonstrates his songwriting skills. One of the standout tracks is "O Taste And See", an energetic track with a Caribbean feel and strong vocals. Johnny sings with so much emotion and this is evident on "God's People Cry Holy" where his smooth vocals make this a good opening track while "If God Be God" is Johnny's musical version of the biblical story of Elijah and Baal. Johnny deservedly received nominations for a Grammy and a Stellar award for his debut album 'Lifetime'. This could well prove to be a contender for future awards.
