At first glance , I embarrassingly had to admit that I had no idea who Mack Brock was . Mack Brock is the founding member of a little worship collective from North Carolina you may have heard of called Elevation . Brock is a veteran worship leader and song writer who has helped pen such Sunday morning classics as “ O Come To The Altar ”, “ Do It Again ” and “ Resurrection .” Brock ’ s sophomore offering , This Is Holy , is an 11-song collection of Sunday ready worship centering around the theme of God ’ s faithfulness .
The lead single , “ Time and Time Again ,” was co-written with Josh Baldwin , and Hank Bentley . This hope-filled song of truth highlights God ’ s trustworthiness in all things : “ You ’ ll come through now like You did back then / Time and time and time again / Almighty fortress , our defense / Time and time and time again ”. Lyrically , I really appreciated how this song gives us a portal into the past reminding us of what God has done as well as a glimpse of the future reminding us that He still moves and works miracles .
“ Be Near ” is comfort for the weary soul as the song finds Brock joining vocals with Elevation Worship member Jenna Barrientes . Jenna humbly calls on the Lord to be near in her distress reminiscent of Psalm 73 . “ Love Is ,” stands out with its different ways of describing God ’ s love when life ’ s storms hit and “ The Best God ” features Brock ’ s 9 year old daughter , Cyrus who sings and also wrote the song .
“ Christ or Nothing ” and the album ’ s opener , “ We Praise the Lord ” are both energetic popinfused songs of celebration that are well mixed and delivered but fairly typical of the modern sound that saturates the CCM worship market .
There are some nice moments and useable tracks here from Mack Brock , but the arrangements and lyrical depth of this album are a bit lacking to be honest . I would like to see a bit more theological prowess in his next release because Brock has proven that he can write scripturally deep music .

Husband and wife worship duo , Nick and Becky Drake are the pioneers of the all-age worship movement taking place all over the UK . Their latest release , Breathe puts a quiet sonic spin on a few of their most loved worship anthems creating wonderfully serene spaces for personal or corporate worship . The purpose of the re-release of these tracks is to provide moments of solitude with Jesus that encourage listeners to slow down and reflect on what He has done for us and what He continues to do in our midst .
Songs like the opener “ God Is Good ”, which when originally released featured a teenage pop sound with electronic drums and pads , has given way to a more mature and intimate feel with a piano and ethereal pad backgrounds . It is
