Of all songs it is my favorite. It's "The good news" feel it! It's the Gospel "word". This album is a treasure. When I listen to "In The Upper Room", I remember hours passed to make play this song of enthusiasm. At the time, I understood nearly none of the words, but the rhythm, the sincerity in the voice gave me the true desire to dance, to shout, to sing, to play life instead of supporting it. "The upper room" it is the depth of our conscience, this place where no one tolerates solitude. Always comes this moment at the end of the day after games where one meets only God: it is the upper room in top. "Go Tell It One The Mountain" is the desire to proclaim to all, "Jesus" as the inner self reality, in the darkest recesses of life. It is the desire to say: "I found the peace" to all grief-strickens. "He's My Light" is the incontestable fact, that even all extinct lights, in the bottom of an underground cave, under the giant sea... pictures come to us in our mind, therefore this light that permits to see pictures is omnipresent in each of us. "I Believe" is the starry night that lets perplexed the least believing. And "Amazing Grace" is the complete thrill felt till the tip of hairs. We arrive all at the first Christmas of the new millennium and this woman's voice marvelous of love and faith will make millions of people discover the Gospel "singning" again.

This album is AMAZING. I LOVE IT! She is the lady! It's been one of my favorite Christmas albums since my Mom played it for me in high school. It's so worth much more than this price.

This album is so beautiful, I play it every morning, what up lifting music for the holidays. Just beautiful.
