This is the first album from the pastor of the Majestic Praise Church in Orlando, Florida and offers songs some of which are based on some of the emotional lows and highs Pastor Tims has experienced in her life, not least the drug abuse and subsequent death of her husband Zachery. The dramatic "Intro" explains "I'm here to declare to you, when you're on purpose and you're on assignment, God says access is granted" and so begins a journey of uplifting praise and worship with elements of gospel, R&B and hip-hop. "Amazing Love" has a catchy melody and sing along lyrics and "Incredible God" sets a slower pace but is just as engaging. The techno sound of "Our God" provides a different flavour to the rest of the set while the frantic "Work Your Faith" brings it back to gospel basics. Fortunately, the unnecessary spiritual pronouncements at the start of four of the 10 tracks don't detract too much. Overall, this is a quality set of urban gospel worship which deserves to be heard way beyond Orlando.
