A Must Have: Best Praise & Worship CD Single 2Date

"Don Marsh's 05 SET "America's Choice 30" (P&W Favorites) is my choice for a multiple CD set, featuring the top 30 most sung P&W's according to copyright royalty reports on actual USA church usage. This CD is my top favorite SINGLE. Title song is a calypso soft-styled lullaby that suddenly erupts into a power praise rocker at the chorus; one of the most powerful songs released to date...the reason I tracked down and bought the album. The title song along with Scott Jefferies yet-to-be widely-published-anywhere on any pop P&W CD (to my knowledge) song: "O Lord Be Glorified (...we praise & lift you high,") are two of the greatest-ever written power praise movers and shakers, guaranteed to get you moving and worshipping 24/7.
Other power praise movers on this great live-worship performance at Christ Church include song 4: "We Glorify," 5: "High & Lifted Up," 9: "Be a Sacrifice," and 10: "Lord Of All The Earth." (Songs 1: "We Sing Glory," and 8: "Magnify The Lord" are also really great; i.e. up-tempo with a beat....)
This album is the best of the best because the above titles are some of the best copy ever written todate; and because the worship team and singers featured are real-deal, Spirit-filled, mega-talented persons who have somehow managed to produce a P&W final output in a live performance that exceeds the quality of a studio production (rare indeed). Producers Joy Gardner and Brad Knight have pulled off a coup-de-tat by outdoing the major record companies with music arrangments that tower above the pack. This contemporary-aging CD is better in content and quality than anything else since then; a real-deal classic filled with music that is gonna stand the passage of time and still shine like leading-edge songs released through the rest of this decade. Do not let this album slip through the cracks; if you want to praise and worship, get a couple copies of "Sweet Aroma..." and keep one in your car, and one at home or work. This is truly a mover and shaker; it will PROPEL you into praise and worship, and boost your spiritual sensitivity up several levels...."
