I have often come across albums, both Christian and secular, where the title track has, somehow, disappointed. And I’ve always wondered why they made it the title track.

Not this time. “You Are In Control” is definitely crowned by its title track, which is a winner both in the congregational worship setting and as a great piece of music to listen to — or worship to in your own time with God. Scott Underwood’s anointing is not unexceptional.

Songs like “The Name of Jesus” and “Balm of Gilead” provide great middle-of-the-road songs that are neither too exultant nor too soft — and can fit into those in-between times worship leaders need to fill when moving from up tempo praise to intimate worship.

Micke Fhinn’s “Under the Waterfull” is a simply wonderful, worshipful song which immediately appealed to me. It’s in the same vein as songs like “Faintly” and “Breathe” — passionate yet exceptionally gentle.

“Alone With You” is great to listen to, if possibly fairly complex in terms of tempo. It might be a challenge for less advanced musicians.

“Your Voice” and “Your Throne” were the other two tracks that caught my ear, along with “Your Great Faithfulness”. This album won’t disappoint!
