This collection consists of 31 songs across two CDs and is billed as being "favourite worship songs by top artists. . .to help listeners live a lifestyle of worship 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." All the lyrics are printed in the CD insert along with details of the album the song is taken from. There are songs from the likes of Robin Mark, Brian Doerksen, MercyMe, Kathryn Scott and Israel & New Breed, to name but a few, and are a mixture of existing and new recordings, both live and studio-based. Highlights for me are the beautiful "Lead Me To The Cross" from Hillsong United (it made me buy their CD!), the bouncy "Salvation Is Here" from Lincoln Brewster and the tenderness of "Beautiful Lord" from Leeland. I have really benefited from having this in my car over the last few weeks when travelling to and from work as there are a lot of inspiring lyrics and only a couple of weaker tracks. We will be learning some of these songs at our church in the near future, and I also ended up ordering two CDs. So I guess it's a successful sampler!
