5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive debut album, February 2, 2006

By	Drew Wutke (Huntington, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Yesterday, Today, and Forever" is a good sign that the worship movement is attempting to fix the "me" mindset.

Vicky Beeching's lyrics are theoligically sound, scripturally rich, and devotionally challenging. If taken as a true written reflection on one person's experience with the great Creator Redeemer God of the world, the listener really can learn from the writing on this album. Its pop-rock/worship/CCM stereotypical sound aside, Beeching gives a refreshing take on worship songs, most of which are written solely by herself. Standouts include "Call to Worship," "Nothing Is Impossible," and "Captivated."

This is the above-average State-side debut of a worship leader from the UK. (Beeching has previously released two different short collections) If you're looking for mild worship rock music that is not only easy to listen to, but textually rich, "Yesterday, Today, and Forever" is at the top of the list. The depth of the lyrics make all the difference on this album. An impressive worship debut that female leaders should be proud of- they are under-represented in the Christian worship movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worship Music , kicked up a notch!, June 17, 2006

By	D. M. Porterfield "Dee" (Camp Hill, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard Vicky's "Turn Your Eyes" on the radio and was immediately hooked by her crystal pure vocals and the clever twist of an old classic hymn interwoven with other lyrics and given a first-person twist that took me out of the realm of spectator and drew me into the worship experience firsthand. I had to get her CD. Well, when I saw the cover of it, I have to admit that I was a little leery that I might be getting an album of hard rock. I'm almost 57 years old and, while I like most types of music, I find some of the heavier rock groups, Christian bands included, are more noise than music and just darn hard to pick out the words. But boy, was I pleasantly surprised. This CD is great! Each song has lyrics that just cut right to the core of our thirst to connect with an Almighty and Awesome God. And each song has a really great beat, too. Did I mention that? After all, I AM a child of the '60's and I don't like things TOO quiet and introspective. So, if you like your worship music intelligent, infectious, joyful, and rockin'....you'll want to add this CD to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Call To Worship!!, January 29, 2006

By	Katie-Anne "Dinky" (California) - See all my reviews

I found out about this CD on a whim. I work at a local Christian bookstore and happened to pick it up just to see if I would like it. What I found was a CD that has become a personal favorite. From the first track you can see that this is a girl who loves God and knows exactly who He is. According to her bio she study Theology at Oxford in England. I think that background has led to biblically based lyrics with passion to back them up. She intricately weaves praise to our God and yet encouragement to see just how awe-inspiring he is. As far as the music it is very similar sound to most of today's contemporary artists, however, the lyrics make this a unique experience. Songs such as "Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow", "Created", and "Nothing Is Impossible" show us a God of love and wonder. Her heart is poured out in the songs "Search Me" and "Above All Else". They are prayers and desires of our hearts! However, the creme de la creme is the end title "Turn Your Eyes". It's lyrics like these that I remember from church as little girl. They are such memory triggers, and remind us all what we were first captivated with...the Love and Beauty of God! The awesome part is she takes part of a well-known hymn and weaves her own lyrics into it. The song flows together beautifully as if it was the original hymn. The whole album can be summed up in the song "Call To Worship"; we were made to worship God not just with our words but with our lives and Vicky shares that message with us. Her album encourages us to keep our focus on the one who made the universe and to Him give the Glory, Honor and Praise!
