Recorded live at the Indoor Tennis Senayan, Jacarta and based on 2 Chronicles 20, this 11 song collection of praise and worship from Jakarta's Praise Community Church in Indonesia was released in celebration of their 10th anniversary. It includes a bonus four track DVD. For those yet to hear Praise Community's worship band True Worshippers their sound clearly follows the standard pop rock template though utilising plenty of close harmony vocals such as in the title track. There are thoughtful numbers asking questions like "Where Would I Be Without Your Love?". The power songs are offset by Sidney Mohede and Daniel Sigarlaki's thoughtful "My Simple Song", featuring a pleasing blend of strings and percussion, and a song sung in higher voices, Andryanto and Kenny Goh's "How Great You Are". More unusually, the instrumental first track "Opening" builds up to a climax heralding "All Power All Glory" where the group demonstrate their more than capable musical abilities. The final track "Look Into The Sky" brought me to a sudden stop so I could give complete attention to a quite lovely song of praise from young people who are so thirsty for the presence of God in their lives.
