The band plays beautifully well- doesn’t put a foot wrong throughout. The track asks, “who is on the lord’s side” as it declares that forever God remains good. Very sublime riffs and runs with pleasant modulations are on display for the listening pleasure of the listener.

The more somber ” Holy is the Lord” is a track that hymn lovers will repeat for days as the lyrics are simple and have an easy flow.

“Benediction” is a perfect close for the album as the soloist and the instrumentalist are in sync and fine-tuned. The track is the musical representation of the ‘closing’ prayer found in Christendom.
