Beautiful live worship album July 2, 2010
Philip L. Troyer (Lincoln, DE USA)
I'm a fan of live worship albums and this one is great. The title song which is the first track wakes you up and sets the mood. "Healing is in your Hands" by Christy Nockels brought tears to my eyes and I'm a grown man! And of course David Crowder's version of "How He Loves" is right up there with Kim Walker and Jesus Culture's rendition. David Crowder has another winner on this album with "Like a Lion."
My favorite has become the last one "With Everything," a song featuring Hillsong that will sweep you up into worship. I have listened to this over and over again cranked up in my van and love it. Passion has another album "Our Love is Loud," and I say Amen - I just can't praise God with the volume on low!
I have six of the Passion albums and this is definitely another winner. So go for it and crank up the praise.
 Passion Awakening May 26, 2010
Mr. A. M. Blair (Yeovil, England)
This is the latest Passion Awakening CD. A number of contemporary christian musicians come together to produce a varied selection of worship songs in a live situation, overseen by people like Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin.
I think the CD is very good on the whole, maybe some of the tracks I'm not so keen on would go down well with persons younger than myself. Though I'm not against rocky stuff per se.
For me, the high point is "Where The Spirit of The Lord Is", featuring Christy Nockels, this is such a feel good song.
Hope this is helpful.
AMAZING! March 17, 2010

This CD is wonderful! The lyrics to these songs have such a powerful message that will leave you on fire and thirsty for God. You should definitely check this new Passion CD out, and all the others while you're at it ;) You won't be disappointed.

Worth getting it? If you're buying this album for personal edification, get it. You will be encouraged. If you're a worship leader looking for congregational material, save money and just buy the few songs worth evaluating (see the song-by-song analysis below).
Songs I would most likely end up using in worship: "You Alone Can Rescue" (Redman), "Our God" (Tomlin).
Accessibility: As usual, their sung keys favor tenors and altos (singing in nearly the same vocal range), alienating the bass and soprano vocal range. But good worship leaders should have the musical ability to re-set these songs in accessible keys (and if they don't, they should think about getting some musical training or else choosing a different vocation...because they're not serving the church well when they lead these songs in the recorded keys). Once the songs are set in congregation-friendly keys, the majority of them are accessible and singable for most congregations.
Theological depth: Passion still cannot stand up to the great hymns of the faith, but the longer they're around the more their songs progress to being God-centered rather than human-centered, with a stronger gospel focus. There is still a lack of substantive reflection on one major part of the Christian experience--suffering. Where one of my friends had described the texts and styles coming from Hillsong United as "adolescent," I would comparatively describe this latest collection from Passion a bit more mature (20s, early 30s?) with some deeper songs that push the average upward. Whether they know it or not, the Passion folks still reflect a charismatic/Pentecostal theological perspective in the way they choose to express, experience, and request God's presence.
Musicality: As always, superb. I would characterize the style as modern, yet conservative, with a slight edge. They are not as experimental with rhythm, electric guitar work, synth sounds, and song structure as, say, Hillsong United, but they aren't remaining stuck in the same stylistic forms that they were using on the previous albums (I keep comparing them to Hillsong United, so it's worth pointing out that United actually made it on this album). Musically, Tomlin's "Our God" is enjoyable to me, especially for its bridge and musical interlude (see below). The album is well-produced and polished, as always, and they've included more of the congregational "sound" (background voices) than in previous albums. Probably because of the influence of Hillsong United, there are more congregational "whoa's" (I don't know what else to call them); they appear on several tracks. I personally like this (to me they serve the biblical function of "shout of praise") but I know that it seems to many in the church like pointless, rock-concert frivolity. Still, could congregational "whoa's" be the new version of call-and-response antiphonal singing? Ancient-future, baby!
