I wasn't sure at first what I would be experiencing when I viewed thisconcert featuring the music from Worship (a bestselling album) and WorshipAgain. After watching it, I was pleasantly, happily, and inspirationallyimpressed with the entertaining and positively enlightening music ofMichael W. Smith. His genuineness, soft features, and a voice blessed withwarmth and spirit places you in a comforting circle of light, love, andunity.

The songs that left a big impact on me are: "Open the Eyes of My Heart" and"Draw Me Close," a wonderful piece of music and, lyrically, very poetic andbeautiful to listen to. The Violin introduction to the song, "Turn YourEyes Upon Jesus," was an incredibly lovely sounding piece. "Above All,""Breathe," and "Let It Rain," were classically inspiring, very touching andhas a great power to it).

I remembered the song, "Awesome God," after hearing him one night while Iwas flipping through the TV channels and a commercial for inspirationalmusic was being offered on a compilation CD. His voice was one that made animpression on me while I was listening to it that night. "Step ByStep/Forever We Sing" has substance, style, and a rocking soulfulness thatjust lit the stage! "I see you" is an electric song of passion, greatmelody, great emotion. There was a calming and joyful presence andappearance to the stage, including a great-looking piano, plus the audiencewas very emotionally involved. Basically, I loved this concert! I wantedto hear and see more. There's much to be desired here.

This is not a preachy, "Listen to me to save yourself" evangelisticmessage. This is about a man's gifted calling and his vision of it beingtold through his music with talented artists along side him. Filmed atSkyreach Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and directed by Carl Diebold,this is Michael W. Smith's way of connecting to his audience who feels ashe does about the closeness, power, and the beliefs that his songs instill.
