Lakeview Church is currently in its 90th year of existence, yet their worship renewal at the turn of the century means the sounds that they produce have the vibrancy and freshness of a newly born, contemporary congregation. They may be compared to Hillsongs, Planetshakers or Abundant Life in style. There are too many names associated with this album to mention, but particular note should go to Erik Cooper and Nathan LaGrange, who are the worship pastor and music pastor as well as the producers of the album, and the main contributors to the songwriting. With the exception of Matt Schaar's "No Greater Thing", their songs stand out above the others, in the well crafted melodies and rich lyrics. "Live Out Loud" is an excellent anthem, speaking of devotion to God, and would possibly have been the best song to begin the album. "The Cross That Bears Your Name" has beautifully written words and is interlinked with Crosby and Doane's hymn "Near The Cross" with great effect. These songs are performed by a first class band, with great energy and musicianship. The overall experience is one that points to God, and is clearly his inspiration, and that's something that should be honoured.
