This song blew me away when I heard it again yesterday after a long time. Its’ from 1999 and I’d kinda forgotten about it. Anyway, if you need just ONE SONG to open a concert, THIS IS IT (given a great choir of course).
The song kind of lulls you into a seemingly nice quaint version of “(Savior) Do Not Pass Me By” with a great intro…but when the choir comes in at 0:50, OH MY GAWD!!! The power and the passion and the feeling EXPLODES…SAVIOR!!!! BLESSED SAVIOR!!!”.
Whew! From there the soloist and the choir trade off for the next 5 minutes or so until the vamp kicks in at 6:00…followed by handclaps…and then a fantastic 3 part build that takes the song out. Fantastic!!
