The album has the back sleeve credit “Thanks to the wonderful community of faith at St Barnabas, Kensington and the musicians that it has been a pleasure to work with and be a part of over the years.” One can imagine many of these songs ringing around said church during their praise and worship. There are two or three particularly outstanding moments. “Thanks To God” has a nice, joyful lilt (despite Richard’s tongue-in-cheek sleeve comment “watch out it’s country!”), “Thank You Lord”, a duet with Carolyn Stilwell (the one time lead singer of Loose Goose), is a pretty song and, best of all, “I Will Not Fear” with some excellent jangly guitar and a bold declaration of Jeremiah 48:28 and Isaiah 24:7-8, all hit the mark.
