Who better to review this project than someone who is a member of the New York Fellowship Mass Choir II? I attended a rehearsal back in February '03 for what I thought was just going to be another concert, only to find out it was in preparation for the greatest musical experience of my life. Each rehearsal (or maybe I should say service) leading up to this recording was nothing short of pure Shekinah Glory straight from the Throne of God. Each writer under the inspiration of the Lord brought songs that were inpregnated into their spirits. They gave birth to these songs during each of our rehearsals and these babies cried out aloud during the recording at The Greater Allen A.M.E. church in Queens, NY on April 28, 2003. Elder Wright (as we call him in NYC) is such a prolific writer and who has the ability to write a song faster than a NY minute, could have made this entire album by himself. But being a man of vision and wisdom, called upon some of the greatest songwriters that the Tri-State area has to offer. Each song has a message and an annointing that will destroy whatever yoke the enemy has placed in your life. "For the Rest of My Life" should be the testimony of every christian, and asking the Holy Spirit to "Have Your Way" can only lead to a deeper relationship with God. "My Desire" speaks of a person whose only desire is to serve and please God more. "Due Time" affirms that in due season we are going to reap if we faint not. "United" is especially relevant after Satan thought the saints would waver after the events of September 11th, but guess what? This nation has become more united than ever before. "Running for My Life" will have you shouting out of your clothes like King David did when he danced before the Ark of the Lord. If you are feeling worn down by the cares of life, there is "Safety in the House of the Lord" and you will find rest for your soul. Be warned: Listening to this CD will not only change your life, but will lead you into the Holy of Holies. All I can say is thank you Lord for my "Miracle". Please be sure to go out and purchase this CD. It will be an investment that your spiritual man will thank you for. Be blessed!

This is a great album from start to finish! You'll get instant energy when "For The Rest of My Life" comes on! So go and get the album, you'll be blessed.

I bought this CD when I heard "United We Stand..." on Emmett Powell's radio program here in the Bay Area (94.1FM Sat 6-9AM). I did not expect that the rest of the CD would be so outstanding. What a marvelous surprise!!! The CD is anointed with God's message in so many spiritual and upbeat songs including direct scripture passages. Every song has a powerful message. From "For the Rest of My Life I'll Serve Him" (a great song for a choir to march in on or for praise and worship) to "My Desire (is to praise You and please You more)" there is so much inspiration, power and praise available directly for you to use in your daily needs and in your daily ministry. For total songs from start to finish on a CD this is clearly my favorite of the last few years. If, as someone else pointed out in another review this is like his other CD's then I need to get the others as well. On the other hand this may be the only one I need. God bless Rev. Timothy Wright.

I have all of Timothy Wright's albums...and there have been some albums of his that I really didn't care too much for. But Rev. Timothy Wright has unleashed his very best on his latest project on his former music label, AIR Gospel. His songwriting, carrying the traditional and contemporary blend that he is known for, is as crazier than ever. And the album's musicians take those songs to the next level with funky, churchy chord progressions and dynamic originality. Melvin Crispell (on organ) and the Wright Bros. are responsible for that. AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH...prepare to hear the sizzling opening cut, "For The Rest Of My Life (I'll Serve Him)" which features Keith "Wonderboy" Johnson killing the microphone along with the Godfather of Gospel. Other guest appearances from Dottie Peoples (on "There's A Blessing), Maurette Brown-Clark, James Hall, Hezekiah Walker & Valerie Boyd (on "United We Stand"), NY's favorite Danny Eason (on Joeworn Martin's "Nothing Can Seperate Me"), the Figueroa Family and Kervy Brown completes this project as they unite together to formuate a mighty voice for the city of New York. Timothy Wright has done this before with his "Come Thou Almighty King" project on Savoy. This time around, Wright reunites the New York Fellowship Mass Choir and exposes the world to New York's amazing faith. The album's content is just as good as the cause. That's a gurantee. Take it from me - the album is seriously worth it. Call it the ALBUM OF THE YEAR. Horray for Rev. Timothy Wright and the New York Fellowship Mass Choir II.

This CD is about one of the best by far. I really enjoy listening to it. The delivery was very fast and I'm so happy to have purchased this one.
