Richard Smallwood is a very gifted and talented artist. His love for music of all kinds and his love of the Lord comes forth in this CD. His talent for lyrics and music makes my heart glad. I thank God for the gift of Richard and how his use of it has been an encouragement in my life.

Richard Smallwood is a fantastic composer, arranger and musician! This album will bring tears of joy to your eyes. It is, in my opinion, the best Richard Smallwood recording. I am an ardent fan of his. This album contains the now international Gospel Anthem, "Total Praise", which I have heard sung in South Africa and in Japan. If this song doesn't send shivers of ecstacy up and down your spine, check your pulse, you are probably dead! Other gems are "It's working", this one will make you want to stop what you are doing, jump up and shout' "Hallelujiah!" "Thank You", "Angels" and I'll see you again" are also fantastic, infact the whole album is a priceless jewel...BUY IT NOW!! In this age of funk/hip-hop/rap gospel music, devoid of spirit and beauty, I thank the Lord every day for Richard Smallwood and his wonderful, wonderful music!

This cd is the Bomb!

Richard Smallwood is in a catagory all to himself. It's amazing how God made us all different. There is no one else that can duplicate Richard Smallwood. There are so many singers today, that would make you wonder if they are singing for the Lord or for themselves. Richard Smallwood gives back what God gave him. The Lord dosen't give us these gifts to keep to ourselves. I know in my heart of hearts he gives us these gifts to bless others. And this cd along with the other cd's Richard Smallwood made has blessed many. In the song Total Praise, you can ear so many different instruments. I saw his video of Total Praise, he was directing an orchestra. It was so inspiring. He is an example that, you can so all through Christ who strenghtens you. But we must do our part in order for the Lord to do his. And know the Lord isn't finished with Richard Smallwood. He'll raise up another cd's that will continue to bless us all.

This CD has truly been a blessing in my life.It has ministered to me in so many ways, songs like "Total Praise" and "Angels" are two of the most touching songs on the cd...but the song that really touched my heart is "Thank You" that song ministered to me in ways my own pastor hasn't letting me know give thanks because what ever the storm he will bring me out...I thank God for this CD and I thank Richard Smallwood and Vision for making this CD

Adoration has some of the most outstanding music that Richard Smallwood has ever written. I am a huge fan of his work, and I believe that this cd is one of the best. The songs that touch me the most are "Total Praise" and "Thank You." Richard keep on doing what you're doing!!!! I am 16 and I LOVE his music.

Recorded live at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill in Atlanta, this album showcases the great talent of this composer/pianist/arranger in his hometown. The album kicks off with a string ensemble "Prelude," which leads to "Total Priase," a very well-known song based on Psalm 121. It also includes other beautiful songs such as "Angels," "Thank You," and "It's Working (Roman's 8:28)." The last song "I'll See You Again" contains a part of the famous hymn "God be with you 'til we meet again," and its reprise features Tramaine Hawkins.

I find that this CD has ministered to my soul in such a special way. Whenever I listen to this CD it places me in a mood of uttmost reverence and thankfulness. Richard Smallwood's music has always been a blessing and only he can do what he does, the way he does it. God bless him!

This album is one that will never go out of style. Richard writes songs of ministry that will minister to everyone with songs like Total Praise, Angels Watching Over Me, Bless The Lord, and most of all Thank You! The anointing on this album greets me everytime I turn it on. I recommend that every gospel lover have this album. Also, if you do not get the cd, the video is all the more worthwhile.

I bought this for my dad and listened to it before I gave it to him. It is very spiritual and peaceful. This is music for praising.
