Over 250 UK Christian artists gathered in Abbey Road studios to record this single and hugely impressive it is too. Charity singles in aid of this or that disaster have in the past ranged from the classic to the ultra-cheesy but this new composition by Tim Hughes and Mark Beswick is an engaging synthesis of black gospel and CCM styles and with a punchy production from Linslee Campbell and Neil Costello and some recognisable voices (Tim Hughes, Raymond & Co, Matt Redman, Cathy Burton, Mal Pope) and a gloriously joyful ensemble providing the chorus this is pretty hot as well as being a heartening initiative to raise funds for the tsunami victims.

A quality song, this will always remind me of Newday 2005 at the stadium. Great lyrics, fantastic beat.
