"Unspoken Truth"

  One hears rumours (albeit unconfirmed) that the Touching The Father's Heart series is (finally!) to be drawn to a close or given a changeover in the very near future. Meantime a fresh batch of worship tunes is presented by three (rather than the standard two) Vineyard leaders/writers from across the country. Brian Helming is of course the best known of the trio; he opens with his toe-tapping country-pop 'How great You are'. This is followed by TtFH newcomer Dan Whiteman's own 'Lord come to me', an atmospheric prayer-cry, movingly delivered. Nashville VCF's Jan L'Ecuyer also makes her debut to the series, though she did pen the tender lyrics to 'Let Your healing come' for Carey Cosum/Sheri Keller's TtFH 41 "Offering of Love". Indeed her captivating vocals are comparable to Sheri's in their touching beauty (similar too in places to namesake Sheri Youngward). Check the airy, innovative feel of her 'God of all' - at 6.5 minutes the longest track on the album - or the thoughtful touch of Scott Underwood's title-track;

All of creation / sings of Your worth / With words we can't hear
But unspoken truth / Is spoken everywhere

  Several members of the Burn Service offer their gifting to this work - Ryan Delmore on harmonica (track 7) - he also wrote the catchy closer 'Never looking back' - Jessie Lane on b/vocals and Darren Clarke on keyboards and production desk!
  Though there are some good upbeat numbers, the emphasis of this album is essentially one of thoughtful reflection on the supremacy of Christ and His love for us - epitomized in the unhurried gaze of the contemplative 'How beautiful'. Meditate, rejoice and be encouraged - 'Unspoken Truth" gives space for all these responses, and more.
