You may be confused if trying to find this CD as there have been other compilations released recently with the same title after the success of the title track over the last few years. I'm not sure what the intention of the compilers was, but it really seems to be a collection of what might be described as anthems. The title track was originally written by Rolf Lovland of the duo Secret Garden and recorded by them with Brian Kennedy, it was made famous by Josh Groban and has apparently now been recorded more than 125 times around the world. This version, recorded by Selah, went to number one on the Bilboard Christian charts, and kicks off the CD. It isn't, of course, strictly a Christian song but we'll let that pass, particularly as the rest of the CD is overtly Christian in its lyrical content. MercyMe's massively popular "I Can Only Imagine" puts in an appearance, as does Tim Hughes' "Beautiful One" and Plumb's "I Can't Do This". Alongside these there are some less well known tracks from Big Daddy Weave ("Fields Of Grace") and Nate Sallie ("Whatever It Takes"). There is no exception here - every track on the disc has that "arms in the air" feel. You'll be up on your feet before you know it.
