"While many artists start off with a debut album of hit singles and memorable tunes, they often fade into the woodwork as record labels fold and hit songs dwindle into the same menagerie of soon-to-be-forgotten one-hit wonders. But, Watermark is a unique duo as husband and wife, Christy and Nathan Nockels, continue to blow us away with not only incredible orchestration and mixing, but also their incredible writing talent.
This album is very unique in the fact that all the songs focus on Jesus and simply worship, and features a string of favorites including "My Covering, Knees to the Earth, The Glory of Your Name, Hidden in You, and Soli Deo Gloria," and many more. I can't put this album away!
After I have listened to most albums about two or three times in a row, I usually replace them with something else, but I can't take this album out of my player, except long enough to move it from the house to the car. It is truly one of the best Christian albums out there, and offers a variety of tunes for anyone's taste. I have seen Watermark in concert, and they truly have a pure heart for ministry and worship, and that truly comes from "the Purest Place." This is a must-have for anyone in need of good music to worship God."
This group gets better and better!

"The really great thing about Watermark is their ability to try new things. Their production gets better with every CD. Soli Deo Gloria is by far one of the best combinations of classical with Cont. Christian Music. (and I thought only Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocceli could do that!). BRAVO!
Knees to the Earth, The Glory of Your Name, Hidden in You, and Invade are the stand-out tracks to me. Their catchy melodies, creative engineering, and Christy's emotional and articulate vocals make this album rise above most of the other worship CD's out there today. I'd like to add that it is not by any means a guitar picking worship CD but a niche the Nockels have carved out - a combination of verse chorus verse chorus set-ups with the feeling of worship long after the CD has ended.
Can you hear the 'holy roar'?"
Absolutely Pure

"For everyone who is a fan of original worship music, vertical worship music, and beautiful music...you will want this cd.
By far Watermarks best album, yet. Each song speaks a truth about God and invites Him to be the center and purpose for our lives. When you are down, you will be instantly refocused on the meaning of life through this music. It is honest and it is amazing."
Fantastic

"This group is amazing. I was turned to them by my girlfriend who wanted me to hush/hush download some of their music. Well I did, fell in love with her voice and have since bought all their albums. They are truly wonderful, musically, and lyrically. Buy this!"
