I've been searching. I've been waiting and I'm now glad to say that my search and patience has yielded what I consider 2008's first "must have" project of the year.

If you enjoyed previous releases by Cece Winans, specifically "Throne Room" and/or "Alabaster Box", then "Thy Kingdom Come" is sure to speak to you regardless of your level of maturity in Christ at this point in time.

Over the years, I have interviewed and talked with countless gospel music artists and I've had the pleasure of conversing with Cece on numerous occasions and the one thing that has always (and still) remains prominent in her character is this young lady's love for Jesus Christ and His word! I've told friends, if there is anyone surely to reside in Heaven one day and get a thumbs up from God, it will be Cece Winans.

Thy Kingdom Come has an Urban Gospel flavor and is straight up Praise & Worship. Any given Sunday, any given church could just simply put this CD on and let the congregation wail to God. It's a powerful project with some heavyweight production elements, namely Luther "Mano" Hanes, Tommy Sims, Percy Bady, the dynamic duo of Vic and Ced Caldwell, Christopher Capehart, Brannon Tunie and Cece's son, Alvin III. Of the beautifully produced 14 songs on this effort, Cece wrote and co-wrote 8 of them and the intimacy with her Lord shines throughout. As did I, you too will probably enjoy every selection. Thy Kingdom Come is well produced and engineered and speaks well of Cece's ministry as she speaks well of her Lord. This is Cece's 8th. solo project and she continues to sing with that passion that has compelled so many to consider a walk with The Saviour.

My faves on this project include, "Waging War," "Holy Father," the reggae spiced, "Worthy," the very up-tempo, "It Ain't Over," the prayerful "Bless His Holy Name," "You're The One," her son's simple, light-hearted, but potent track, "The Coast Is Clear" and "Falling In Love."

In this season, when our nation and world is facing various issues and many, even in the body of Christ, are wavering, Thy Kingdom Come is a timely gift from God, given to Cece Winans and offered to you and I. Do hear the message!

I've read some of the reviews and wondered what they are listening to. Some people have their preferences I understand, but after listening to the cd the first time..which I found to be different..lyrically and instrumentally..in a great way,,I listened to it again with what the other reviews said about the songs in mind, how the disc does not showcase her voice or the production not sounding as good as it could have been and I still hear what I heard the first time.. GREAT Praise and Worship..it's different..like every album Cece puts out..she changes it up in a good way..
I like...I like ... but that's my opinion:)
Enjoy for yourself.!

Having read the reviews of some about this CD not moving them is LUDICROUS. CeCe is NOT singing to them, she is singing to her LORD and SAVIOUR!!!!! Having listened to it for the first time I felt that way too (I wanted to hear her full voice), but after LISTENING more closely this is HER best work yet. EVERY song moves me to WORSHIP and PRAISE my HEAVENLY FATHER. I play this CD to and from work and I get my praise on!!!!! Cece's latest endeavors have taught me it is more about worship and praise than just making me feel good. CeCe is the STANDARD BEARER for gospel music and I am blessed to be able to hear her GLORIFYING the FATHER! THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR THOSE WHO WANTS TO BE TRULY UPLIFTED (not about you), AND THEREFORE UPLIFT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!!!!! If I could rate this 10 stars, I would. CeCe, keep on singing and I will keep on buying your glorious music!!!!!

well at first it took me awhile to like this cd but once i ve listen to it again i like it alot ,the one thing about Cece is that she always changed her style of music and never follow the same tactic or pattern of music that people think she should sound like and also she put her all in all into her music like a DIVA be bless and open your mind and heart cuz after all its about the Gospel of CHRIST and not the way, of how one should sound like

A praise and worship fest giving God all of the glory that is due His name alone. My favorites include The coast is clear, The test of time, It ain't over, Bless His Holy Name, Worthy, Forever, We Welcome You and you get the idea. A Five Star special and one of CeCe's best right up there with Alone in His Presence and Throne Room. The music doesn't have to blow you away to be good gospel music, it just needs to praise Him.

This CD is about walking through the tough times, warfare and praising God. I have played this CD every single day for a year. Every song speaks to my heart and praise God for Ce Ce's faithfulness!

Every track on this CD is awesome. CecE will really take you to that holy place where you can worship and praise God. It is fabulous.

Ok no female gospel artist is as famous at Cece Winans. To be honest, I did not like her last album, I thought it was substandard at best. But she went back to her prayer room and delivered an album that will glorify God.

You will be blessed she has a lot for everyone on the album, praise jams and great worship songs. Cece really blessed me with this album, she went back to her prayer closet and delivered a powerful album.

Cece has shown us again what it takes to record an album; not a mic or great voice. A sincere heart is what it takes, and she is still going strong. I thank God for her, she has not strayed from the path.

You will be mightily blessed.

First, let me say that I'm a diehard Cece fan! Have been since age 14 when I saw her and Bebe in the Addictive Love video on B.E.T. one day. I was instantly mesmerized and it's really changed me in more ways than one in life as they are just so positive and uplifting. I've leaned on their music in times when I couldn't lean on people. I say all that to explain that I'm probably NOT an objective person in the review department as Cece can do no wrong in my eyes. But I'll try...

Thy Kingdom Come is a wonderful CD, but does not give you as much Cece voice as she's got in there and that we all love to hear. The message is classic Cece with a heavy emphasis on praise and worship. It's encouraging and continues the message that no matter what's going on in this world we can make it. Keep looking to the Lord, keep your head up, remember His sacrifice, keep praising, keep pressing toward our ultimate goal...well, you get it. It's the message I love with the focus I love. I think one of my instant favorites is "Worthy". She sings, "Oh my soul, you have not been left alone. He counted us worthy, so let's be worthy." I think she has a real gift for speaking to young people in their situations and this recording continues that tradition with a sound that invites young and old, Black and White and everyone else to join in.

Cece has such a powerful voice, and honestly I've always been a little inspired by the fact that she doesn't have to "showboat" to deliver an album or a moving worship to the Lord. She likes the focus to be in the right place and I think that's the sign of a mature worshiper. But you do kind of want to hear that fire from time to time and this album doesn't really present too many of those "blow you away" vocals. That's my only complaint. But her beautiful voice is no less beautiful and it's certainly an album to have in your rotation. Cece Winans doesn't put out weak music and this recording holds to that standard! The message of hope is all over it.

Now I'm looking forward to that Hymns album that is to come!

I am big fan of Cece and i gotta say, she's done it again!!! This album is pack with worship and good laid pack lyrics for us to understand the God is good and will always be there for us. God bless her heart and i pray He give us more of Cece Winans.
