I became acquainted with this group's music over a year ago and just fell in love with their simple, yet reflective style of music. This recording features the group in a live church concert setting. With its campmeeting atmosphere, you are taken in by their emotional performances and heartfelt testimonies and can't help but recall days gone by when it was regular to fare to shout and pray around the altars. To say the least, this isn't the average live recording.

The uptempo “REST IN YOUR LOVE” gets the concert started and they move quickly to a simplified version of the Bishops classic, “LAZARUS COME FORTH”. Tying in with the aforementioned song, the group sings a very thought provoking, “I HEAR THE CALL” and then quickly move to an acapella version of the classic, “SOMETHING GOT AHOLD OF ME”, which is a definite highlight of the recording.

After an emotional testimony from Tabitha, the group sings “JESUS, ONLY HIM”, after which Kelly gives her testimony before singing “I'M TOO NEAR HOME”. ( Side note: there is an alternative version of this song at the end of the CD) You can tell at this point in the recording, something is stirring within the congregation and after an moving performance of one of my favorite LWT songs, “IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MEASURE HIS LOVE”, the group stops for an altar call before they continue and sing “JUST FIND JESUS”.

A great song about Heaven is titled, “JUST INSIDE THE GATE” and paints a wonderful picture of what it may be like as we walk inside the gates of Heaven. The group them moves through “HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE” and “KEEP MY TEARS” before they features the children of Tabitha and Kelly on the oft recorded “I'M GONNA MOVE”. Closing out the recording is a unique arrangement of the hymn “IN THE SWEET FOREVER”.

If you're looking for entertainment or a slick, professional live performance, it won't be found here. But, if you're looking for a spiritual church service, this is the recording you need to have. The overall quality of the recording is adequate and it lacks vocal variety, because everything either features Tabitha or Kelly. During the time they did this live recording, they were searching for a permanent third vocal, so in their defense, there is a good reason Tabitha and Kelly sings everything. With the recent signing to Les Butler's Family Music Group, we can expect to hear a lot more from this group in the near future, and I'm glad about that.

Personal Favs : REST IN YOUR LOVE; I HEAR THE CALL; SOMETHING GOT AHOLD OF ME; JESUS, ONLY HIM; I'M TOO NEAR HOME; IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MEASURE HIS LOVE

We had the privilege of being with these wonderful people on two occasions and we must say they are a true delight to be around. There is no doubt that with this group's God-given talent and sweet spirit, coupled with the production expertise of Les Butler, there is a blessed future ahead for LWT. We look forward to seeing them flourish for God's glory.

Joyce,
Thanks for the compliments, we are not changing groups, lol. Family Music Group is simply a label that we have signed with recently that will help us further our ministry. We are still Living Waters Trio. Thanks for the comments of Israel as well. He is a very talented person. We pray God's blessings upon his life in whatever he chooses to do for God. He will still write songs for our ministry, he simply does not desire to travel any longer. So keep us all in your prayers. May God Bless You and Your Family!!! We love you!

I am so glad I got to see LWT in the FMG's artist showcase at this years NQC. I've had been playing songs off their "Talk To Me" project. My favorite is, It's Impossible To Measure His Love". Love the 'Live' project. Larry of Palm Bay
