Synopsis: 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. LOVE OF GOD reminds us to not just think of worship as singing songs, but also laying down our lives for Him.

My Review
Once again, I have been blessed to review a CD from Vineyard Music. When the worries and stress of the day get me overwhelmed I simply turn on a praise song and find myself in the calming presence of the Lord.
Let it Come gets you pumped and ready for the presence of the Lord to enter. It’s not my favorite…too rocky. But I did find myself tapping my feet to the beat.
Steve Jones voice on Saving Grace is soothing. I found myself listening to this song a few times. There was something about singing about sweet grace that just made my soul sigh. I really like his style.
Anabeth Morgan is introduced on What Can I Bring. Her voice is deep, has a tinge of country style to it. Piercing. She sings my prayer. “And what can I bring to you? Simply a song of love and boundless gratitude.” Like. No Love. I LOVE this song. And Anabeth…her voice…heavenly.
I recognized a few of the songs which is always great! I enjoyed singing One Thing Remains along with Casey Corum . “ Your Love NEVER gives up on me!” My soul sings as I listen to the words. It washes to the depths of my soul. I enjoyed moments of worship to the Isn’t He/Amazing Grace compilation.
The title song, I Love Your Presence, sung by Chris Lizotte is a great worship song! I found myself rocking to the song. 2 minutes into the song Chris lowers the strength of the song for a guitar solo. There’s a key change as they sing “I LOVE, I LOVE your presence.” I’m used to singing the chorus of a song over and over and over…I appreciated the moment to pray instead of just sing. The guitar solos on this song were a little much…
Perfect Sacrifice is probably one of my favorite songs. We will be learning this for during future worship meetings. Simple song, simple words, simple worship.
Other than the first song, I enjoyed every song on this CD. Perfect for those quiet moments of reflection and worship. I rate this CD an A!

About Vineyard Music
Vineyard Worship exists as an organic extension of the Vineyard church movement in the USA (Vineyard USA). We are, in a phrase, “from the church, for the church”. We are not a music company first and foremost; we are a non-profit worship ministry. Our efforts will be centered in the cultivation and empowerment of the core value of worship in the Vineyard or more simply put “to help the local church experience God”, rather than in a profit-driven music business model.
