Luke and Anna are no strangers to the global worship music scene but this is their first album without the Worship Central collective banner. Opening with the up tempo single "Up And Alive" and "See Me Through", Luke and then Anna show they can handle the full on rock pop fare common to Worship Central. It is when you come to the building tracks, such as "Abide", "Revive Us (Heavy Rain)" and the outstanding "All For Love (Gethsemane)" that their real strength comes to the fore as they handle the light instrumentation, vocal heavy bulk of the song with the sensitivity it requires while still having the power to deliver the punch when the track ramps up to the climax. The songs are all well written and arranged and very easy to listen to just as music, but then generally kick up a gear with the lyrics drawing the listener into praise and worship of the creator who made the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation.
