“ ’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
 And grace will lead me home.”


For years, the Spirit has been moving, touching, and embracing the people of New England. The grace poured out through Jesus Christ is overflowing in all our hearts. This album captures only but a glimpse of the shouts of gratitude and praise to a God that spared no expense to save our souls.

When I first listened to “You Are God” on the Touching the Father’s Heart series, I felt the song lacked a little zeal. But after giving it another try on the Winds series, I immediately felt the simple but powerful reverence for God. Scott Underwood also leads the other songs such as “Come and Fill Me Up ” and “Whatever Is True ”. He also does an outstanding jazzing up oldies. He adds a groovy bass line to “You are the Vine” and a modern yet humble version of the hymn “Blessed Assurance ”.

Cindy Rethmeier ’s “Abba Father ” and “Your Presence ” contributes a soft and genuine touch to the album along with an “Alleluia, He Is Coming ” which conveys the reality and celebration of Christ’s return. Yes, He is coming! Let ’s celebrate!

Though Danny Daniels has only one song on the album, “I See the Lord ”, he leads it in a fashion that ushers in an atmosphere of overwhelming reverence for Lord. Danny also adds a little blues to the song with a nifty harmonica solo. The live recording, with congregation worshipping in the background, differentiates this album from others which are often toned down. But the congregation in this album just went out of their way to “cry holy, holy is the Lord! ”

The album finishes off with another old school song. The three worship leaders delivered a kick-butt version of “Amazing Grace ”. It is his grace that motivates us to lift our hands and hearts to sing “Praise God! ”
