Reuben Morgan wears his passions on his sleeve, or to be more precise, he wears them on his sleevenotes. They contain mini-essays on mission and worship and how they are related and a profile of the Sun Child Project, the charity he runs with his wife. He clearly longs to write songs that inspire mission and in turn see that mission feed back into worship. He wants these songs to be sung, to be out there among the churches, and that lends a real sense of generosity about the album - these are songs for everyone. The CD even includes the sheet music, so there's no excuse for not singing them. And sing them we will. Musically, this more than matches the high standards we've come to expect from Hillsongs, with all the exuberance and immediacy that characterises their approach, and there are a number of praise anthems in this strong set. Opener "All For You" and "Let Creation Sing" are the catchiest, but it wouldn't surprise me if "For All You've Done" and "Still" are the ones that really embed themselves in set lists up and down the country.
