MY REVIEW:

I was introduced to Vineyard music in the late 1980’s and have had a love for it since I first heard it. I have yet to find any other worship music source that provides quite the same special personal and intimate experience of Vineyard music. I am not disparaging other worship music because I listen to many others but Vineyard music will always hold a special place in my heart.

With a Vineyard music collection as large as ours, it was a given that we would be familiar with the songs on this collection. Many of them date back years and “Isn’t He” written by John Wimber dates as far back as 1980. I really enjoyed the way old favorites were performed by different artists with different arrangements that brought a fresh meaning to each song. I particularly liked the way “Isn’t He” transitioned into an awesome acapella version of “Amazing Grace”.

I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE perfectly met all my expectations for a Vineyard Music collection. As always, the instrumentation was excellent and song choices varied from upbeat celebration to more intimate worship. The only complaint I could find is that my blank cd’s did not have enough capacity to hold all thirteen songs so that I can listen to them in my car. That is a minimal complaint because I can now listen to MP3 cd’s in my car if  I can just remember to record them that way.

For those who already love Vineyard Music, it is a no-brainer, you need a copy of I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE. If you are unfamiliar with Vineyard Music, this collection would be a good way to learn why Vineyard Music has set the standard for worship music for decades.

ABOUT I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE:
I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE was recorded live at the Burn Bright: Worship and The Kingdom Of God conference, hosted by Vineyard Worship. Several hundred worship leaders and worshippers gathered in the Arizona desert to explore the nature of God’s kingdom through music and teaching with some of the Vineyard’s most gifted communicators and musicians. This inspiring collection of songs recorded live at the The Vineyard Church North Phoenix will immerse listeners in the powerful worship that was the highlight of the event. I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE reminds us to not just think of worship as singing songs, but also laying down our lives for Him.
