As the gospel choir burst into life, they proclaim most energetically that "we can do all things" and this is the first song from the album which has strong orchestral presence and a loud brass section which introduces us perfectly to the popular choir. The theme throughout the album is a very lively and Spirit-filled proclamation of the goodness of the Lord and has great harmony and balance with a wide range of vocal talents being utilised. There are slower tracks such as the heart wrenching, "Wash Me, Lord" right the way through to the racier and upbeat "Hold On" that will have you jiving through your lounge or trying to reach the high notes in your car. One thing I would mention is that one would have to be in very high spirits to listen to the album all the way through, as after a while songs and arrangements do have the tendency to sound just like their predecessor. There are in total 12 tracks on this album so one is getting value for money but as aforementioned, is one really getting anything different from this gospel album as there are many like it on the market?
