Rating: - Surprised by critic
I was surprised by the critic's review. Worship swept me away from the first moment I heard it. Nothing about it seems flat. It is one of the few CD's I can put on and immediately feel as if I'm in the throne room of God, worshiping Him. It is full of emotion and praise. Wonderful stuff.
Rating: - Worship our Awesome God
This is just an awesome CD. I have enjoyed the music of Michael W. Smith for years, but he was never one of my favorites. This is such a departure for him though that it really kindles a fire in anyone's soul. Recorded in a large open church as a live concert this recording captures people as they are truly worshipping the Lord.Live recordings usually turn me off because there is an abundance of background noise, but that was not the case with this album. There was no problem hearing the music or the vocals. Smith makes a few comments between songs and there are times when the audience's cheers can be heard, but they are at the appropriate level so as to add to the music and not detract form it. Why 5 stars?: This album is a beautiful recording of people worshipping the Lord and it will make you want to do the same. My favorites are a cover of Mullins' "Awesome God" and "Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord".
Rating: - Let it Rain!
Recorded live in Lakeland, Florida at a worship service, this recording reveals the presence of God. The Lord Himself has annointed the songs, the musicians, and the sincere praise and worship of these believers in a powerful way.Michael W. Smith is a gifted musician and has written wonderful worship music in the past. But the collaboration of Gerond Davis, Amy Grant, Out of Eden, Philips Craig and Dean and others, combined with live praise and worship, has created a very special musical experience. Don't be alarmed when you are playing this at home or in your car, and you're singing along to these wonderful songs, and the Spirit of the Lord begins to fall and you find yourself praising the most high God, long and loudly. Let it Rain!!
