Husband and wife Nathan and Christy Nockels (more commonly known as "Watermark") are two of the most anointed musicians I have ever heard perform. They display an incredible gift for both writing and singing all of their own music. Each song on this album drips with sincerity, honesty, and love for the Lord. Whether you are lisitening to the upbeat, uplifting tempo of "Take Me There", the imagery-filled love song, "Gloria" or the willing surrender in "Everything", you will be blessed each time you lsten to this album. Just as there is a variety of subject matter presented on this project, there is also a wide range of vocal style. Christy Nockels' unique voice belts through self-revealing ballads like "Driven to Humility" and "Welcome to Delaware" while it also flows gently through quiet, prayerful melodies such as the angelic tunes of "Calm the Waters" and "Peace." Most importantly, this collection of songs draws the listener into worship. As I said already, you will be blessed each time you listen to this album.

This is the second CD that I have purchased by these annointed children of God. The lyrics of their songs are so spiritual and the blending of their voices are phenomenal as is the backing orchestration.

The song "Calm the Waters" is a wonderful reminder of how God changes our point of view, saves us and calms our souls.by giving us His direction.

'What Manner of Love' describes so poignantly God's love for His children and how He sets us free and gives us His joy and peace.

The amazing accoustic backing guitar in 'His Renown' is complimented by the duet of their voices as they remind us that we need to live our lives so that we mirror Christ and His love and compassion for a fallen world.

The song 'Walk the Road' turns our eyes to Jesus and His beautiful hands and feet... baring the scars of what He did for us on Calvary's cross. His wounds give us life and we should use this life to glorify God.

'Driven to Humility' reminds us that we are chosen to be humble and to walk 'humbly with our God', chosing only His will for our lives.

The song 'Peace' depicts so aptly God's peace in our hearts and souls that only comes from knowing Christ's love for us and His peace that passes all understanding.

My favourite song on this album is 'Gloria'. All creation praises God and we long to praise Him in the same manner but it is an awesome thought that we are treasured by God above all creation.

As I listen to 'Take me There' I am reminded that God hides us in His shelter and goes with us and is our shelter. He hides us in the palms of His hands, covered there by His love.

What can one say other then to just be overawed by this amazingly beautiful album. I look forward to purchasing more of their albums. They are a must for all lovers of Christian music.

I got hooked on Watermark because of "Gloria" which still brings me to tears. Having lived in there, I can both laugh at and understand "Welcome to Delaware" which as a matter of fact describes God's promise to me while I was at the University of Delaware. While not in the same upbeat manner as most praise & worship, this is still a wonderfully spiritual album.

I first heard this group at a Point of Grace concert, and was instantly captivated. I've had the album for over a year and I never get tired of listening to it. So many of the songs express my own feelings and you can't help but worship right along with them while you listen.

Whenever I need to escape from the world for a couple moments, I simply listen to Watermark. "Take Me There" has revived my sanity on numerous occassions. Not only do the songs refresh me, but they also challenge me. An odd combination but it works. I look forward to seeing more of these guys.

Writing all their own songs, this duo has a pop sound and words that truly convey answers to a persons search for "Peace", even in "Delaware", because you can hear of Gods "Renown",... wishing you could praise him as in "Gloria" like the turning of the leaves or or rolling of the thunder. Even in the singable, 50's sound of "Everything" a simple but powerful message of commitment. Wow! these guys can write!

This is incredible music. 5 of these songs are playing on the comtemporary Christian radio stations. The rest are great too. A delightful mixture of bouncy & fun and slow & deep songs that feed my soul. Invigorating, inspiring & healing...what more could you ask?

This is my all time favorite album! "Gloria" and "Peace" being my two favorites.
