Northern Ireland-based songwriter and worship leader Nathan's third album demonstrates his heart for genuine worship. "Awake My Soul" with its rhythmic percussion and rock guitars is powerful stuff while Nashville's Chris McClarney accompanies Nathan on "Tear The Veil" which is beautifully sung and references the Lord's Prayer. "Hearts Of The Fathers", co-written with Matt Redman for single release, is a prayer with a Celtic feel with the strings of Everett and Caroline Hardin enhancing the tone as Nathan sings, "You came to restore/You came to renew us." An adaptation of "Amazing Grace (I Will Trust)" to the tune of 'Danny Boy' works well, with the additional lyrics sandwiched between familiar verses. Nathan reflects on the implications of Christ's sacrifice for us on the final track, "Sweet Communion" summing up his own deep relationship with his Saviour.
