Apparently Mr Mohede has made 35 albums since 1996! Now this Indonesian worship leader gets a push outside of his homeland. This album was recorded live at, I presume, his church in Jakarta. Accompanied by his backing band, an orchestra and choir, Sydney sings with passion, often moving from English to Indonesian with practised ease. Having grown up in California, Sidney has blended American showmanship and professionalism with his obvious reverence for God. His enthusiasm gives him the energy to be the worship director of JPCC Jakarta Praise Community Church as well as being youth pastor, songwriter and father of two young children! The title track is for me the strongest of the songs. "'Always With Me" has a pleasant orchestral intro and sounds a little like one of Chris Bowater's compositions. "Faithfulness" moves the album from praise to a more worshipful mood.

Come and worship together with Sidney in his first ever solo concert in his 20+ year career in praise & worship.

Many of Sidney's songs are now sung in churches not only in Indonesia, but also in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia, United States and many other countries. One of his songs, Hosanna (Be Lifted High), first featured in True Worshippers' God Is Our Victory album, has recently been recorded by Israel Houghton for his Love God. Love People album.
