"For me, the true measure of an album's greatness is how it sounds after it reaches the midway song. After this point, the songs usually sound thrown in, flung together and lacking in quality. I had never listened to this lady before and I am very picky about my music (everthing has to measure to Richard Smallwood). However, this is one of the most beautiful albums that I have ever listened to. FROM BEGINNING TO END - and I emphasise THE END. Interestingly enough, I believe that her most powerful song is the second last song on the album simply entitled "God". The music is beautiful, her voice is outstanding and the anointing on this song pulls you into the very throne room of God. "Never be the same", "Thanks be Unto God", "Sing of your Goodness" and "Psalm 27" are absolutely phenomenal. She doesn't do alot of theatrics with her voice as many artists do which sometimes, instead of seasoning the song, actually overpowers the message. She knows just when to release the powerhouse and when to pull back. The TRUE meaure of an artiste.Take it from the pickiest person this side of Planet Earth. This is a "must have" to any TRUE Christian and TRUE gospel music collector."
THE BEST WORSHIP CD!

"I've waited for 2 years for this album and IT WAS WORTH IT!
Joann is an awesome and anointed woman of God! God has used her voice to bring me closer to Him. I just know she's going to continue to go places in God!"
Beautiful/Comfirmation that God lives !

"When u first put this cd in u may be a little
thrown off at first by the first few songs
because they have a uptempo gospel latin feel
to them,not saying those are bad songs but I
was thinking the album would open more with
a worship feel too it even though it do opens
with a worship intro song,but I am not mad
at those uptempo songs though they are just
not my favorite even though I do like one of them
which is OPEN MY EYES LORD.
Now for the worship part of the album,the
worship songs that are on the album are worth
buying for the album alone.
SING OF YOUR GOODNESS>this song makes my soul
smile,very feel good song.
I HEAR YOU SAY> the current single out on gospel
radio is what made me by the album,this is a
beautiful song and I love the way she sings it.
MY DESIRE> This song gives me a warm feel,this
is a warm hearted song,it speaks to the soul.
WHEN I PRAY> I love this interlude/song this
songs speaks to me like it did for Joann.
WITH ALL MY HEART> Lovely pure song
GOD> Produced by Donald Lawrence,so u know this
one is good,she makes u feel it,this
woman Loves God,she actually said in the
albums cd booklet that it was hard for her to sing
this one because she would get so emontional and u
hear it in her voice,go Joann.
CUANDO REPOSO EN TI>In English(When Rest In Me)
Beautiful,she sings this one
in spanish,its just gorgous,it kinda reminds me
of Whitney Houstons song "The Greatest Love of all"
YES buy this album."
Welcome into this place - The lighter side of Gospel

"I am always looking for a good gospel album to keep my mind on the Lord. after purchasing the WOW 2004 CDs, I heard "When I enter your rest" by JoAnn Rosario, I knew I had to get her album.
This album is superb. Because many of the songs are so light and have an 'easy-listening' feel; it really lulls your soul into rest...both spiritually and physically songs like:
10/10 - The Introduction "Welcome into this place"
10/10 - "Sing of your goodness"
10/10 - "My Desire";
12/10 - "With all my heart" - can you tell this is my favorite!
10/10 -"God"
And then; there are mildly upbeat songs that helps to put a pep in your step songs like:
10/10 - "Life so wonderful"
12/10 - "Oh Lord Your Love" - this is my fav. upbeat song!!
9/10 - "Never the same";
8/10 - "Thanks be unto God",
9/10 - "Open My eyes"- 9/10"
Absolutely Beautiful!

"If you long to be in God's presence and need something to set the tone for your day - THIS IS IT! Lyrics are what really make me love a song and these lyrics are TRULY about WORSHIP! I actually found a way to translate the Spanish lyrics to English-Cuando Reposo En Ti is sensational! It is so powerful in Spanish that it makes me want to learn the language so I can sing the ad-lib too! My absolute favorites are I Hear You Say, God and Open My Eyes. I find myself singing When I Pray and My Desire in my head throughout the day because those words are what I'm feeling. I thank God for Joann's ministry and how its touched my life. I pray God continues to bless her as she recovers. This CD is proof that the devil can't mess with God's ANOINTED!! OH by the way - Saciame Senor - one of the best songs ever!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the next one!"
