Editorial Reviews

Recorded live at St. Catherine’s Church in Dublin, Ireland, You Shine reveals the faithfulness of God through every circumstance. The uninhibited and reflective lyrics of legendary songwriter and worship leader Brian Doerksen are showcased in this, his first solo album. Find Heaven’s light on earth with the intimate honesty of "You Shine," the vulnerability of "Your Faithfulness," and the expectancy found in "Hope Of The Nations." As you trust in His unfailing love, darkness will turn into light. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, April 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: You Shine (Audio CD)

This CD is made for personal listening.

Even though this is largely a solo-sounding effort,
there is no ego here. The entire album is worship
centric.

Faithful One is my favourite song on this album.

I highly recommend requesting this song on a
Christian music station...I thought it was worth
the price of the entire album alone.

Again, the lack of any ego on the part of the artist
was striking. He sings as if his audience is in Heaven,
as opposed to sitting in front of him. I think
that is why the album works on a personal level.

If you're a worship leader, the congregation might have
difficulty singing along, but when you're driving around
in your car, or sitting alone on a sofa, it's pretty near
perfect, in my humble opinion.

I've read many reviews for this album, and nobody's touched the two top tracks on it--the title song "You Shine," and the anthemic "Hope of the Nations." That one knocked my socks off the first time I heard it, which was the first time I attended the church I now go to most Sundays. Our music director gave me Doerksen's second album, "To-Day," but I'm going to buy this one. Both "Hope of th Nations," and "You SHine," are highly singable songs with a terrific message. Doerksen's voice is endlessly listenable, like many others in the genre--Michael W. Smith, Don Mowen, Paul Baloche. But there's room for plenty to sing this style in this in-your-face world full of '"music makers" whose music ought to be reserved for deaf people.

Biran Doerksen is one of the foremost worship music writers of our day. He is honest, expressive and right on the money for putting words to music that allow us to worship God in whatever place we might find ourselves in. There is some classic material from his days at Vineyard (sorry to see him go!) and some new material that is just right there as far as meeting the needs of churhces who seek to use the contemporary style with with to worship. This is definetly a must-have for any worship leader and you will not be dissappointed if you are seeking something to help you worship at home or in the car.

While I would concur with another reviewer on the set possibly being a bit over-arranged, it does evoke a worshipful response and the songs are just great for congregational worship settings even without the excellent musicians that are obviously on this CD.
