CD Reviews
Twila Paris's BEST CD

"I have owned several copies of this particular CD and over the years have worn them out! This recording has some of her BEST songs. This time, I converted to MP3, so I will own it forever!"
"This cassette was my introduction to Twila Paris when I picked up a $2.99 tape at K-Mart in the fall of 1997. I wore that tape out listening to it so much and got the CD later. So here's the point-by-point review.
"A Heart That Knows You" - gives you the feeling you're about to enter an 'experience' of worship.
"Destiny" - upbeat pop-ish number with a good message.
"How Beautiful" - a definite for Communion song and taken straight (for the most part) out of the pages of the Bible.
"I See You Standing" - pretty good effort.
"Wandering Pilgrim" - something everyone can relate to if you've ever had a bad situation in your life.
"Every Heart That Is Breaking" - so relevant to all of our lives; whatever situation, you've been there at some point. Good ministry song.
"Warrior Is A Child" - probably her best-known song, David Clydesdale did a youth musical with this back in the early 80s.
"Runner" - a song of motivation and encouragement that sounds like the anthem that opens the Olympics - fittingly.
"Holy Is The Lord" - in duple meter, 6/8 time, this up and down the scale use of vowels is good for voice training - oh, and it's primary purpose, praise of God.
"True Friend" - a song about Jesus; very pop-ish and 80s sounding.
"Sweet Victory" - see "True Friend"
"Relase/He Is Exalted" - certainly the best-known Twila written praise hymn, this is like a second call to worship. Excellent intro and performance.
"Lamb of God" - O lamb of God, sweet lamb of God - going through the complex relatioship between God and Christ, Christ and man, and God and man - and the only sacrifice that mediates.
"Do I Trust You" medley - closes with a fitting benediction.
Get it if you ever find it. One of the few genuine five-star Christian releases.
"
Great album - not longer made.

"I bought this in cassette around 1995, looked for it several times in the last few years in CD format, I couldn't find it locally (Michigan). Recently bought "Twila Paris - Greatest Hits: Time & Again", which has many of the same songs, but I miss the ones that are only on Heart That Knows You, "Prince Of Peace" comes to mind."
