5.0 out of 5 stars A Collection of Familiar Inspirational Favorites!!!, July 27, 2006

"Faith" is a collection of familiar inspirational favorites that will captivate, refresh, and lift your spirits. Mary Beth's impassioned piano performance has become a signature sound throughout the country and she is accompanied on this CD by world class orchestration, blended together to truly inspire. A legacy of faith lives on in worship through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs and Mary Beth brings the beauty of the message and music to life in this CD.

The collection consists of several of the most requested and most beautiful inspirational songs by Mary Beth from her previous CD's. These are combined with many brand new arrangements of songs of faith. And topping off the collection is a beautiful original composition by Mary Beth.

One of the things I enjoy most whenever Mary Beth releases a new CD collection is to listen to her original compositions. And "Faith" offers another new beautiful composition by Mary Beth. The introduction is the melody of the familiar hymn "The Lord's My Shepherd". This leads into "I Live to Follow You" composed by Mary Beth. The words and inspiration are Mary Beth's personal response to the 23rd Psalm. While the CD includes only the beautiful music of the composition, the liner notes include the lyrics. The lyrics are a beautiful testament to the faith we have in our Savior and as Mary Beth states in the liners notes:

"With a new song in my heart, I give thanks to my Lord and Savior, the author and perfecter of our faith."

It's always most difficult to single out favorites from all of the beautiful songs on a CD by Mary Beth but my favorites of the new arrangements on "Faith" are "My Jesus I Love Thee" / "Amazing Grace" and "For the Beauty of the Earth" / "To a Wild Rose". The combinations of the pieces and the interpretation which Mary Beth brings to the numbers are unique and very beautiful.

Among my favorites of the numbers from previous CD's by Mary Beth are "In the Garden" / "I Need Thee Every Hour", "What a Friend We Have in Jesus", "How Great Thou Art", and "Beautiful Savior". While each of these pieces has been recorded many times by others, Mary Beth brings a fresh and welcome approach to the music through her own arrangements and interpretation.

"Faith" is another beautiful and inspirational collection of music by Mary Beth. We all need to continually renew our faith and this collection will help do that through the inspiration it gives.
