This is an album I cherish and listen to often.
The song "They Will Know We Are Christians by Our Love", from this CD (with 1st Corinthians 13 in it) was a song I chose to have sung at my wedding in June 2008. My dear, lifelong friends did a fabulous job singing it in just the same way it appears on this album. Our guests were truly inspired! As the song was being performed, someone actually called out, "Sing It!" It's such a beautiful picture of God's love being evident in us as we follow Him.
That song is amazingly beautiful and having it at our wedding was an absolute favorite moment for me and for many of our guests.
All of the songs on this album are beautiful! I've been a fan of Susan Ashton since her first album in the early 90s. |

Years ago, I went through a period of intense pain and severe difficulty. My entire life came apart, and so did I. During that time, I listened to a lot of inspirational music, and this album was the best of all of them.
I hadn't listened to it in a long time, but today I saw it amongst my many other CDs and decided to put it on. It brought back so many memories! You would think that an album I listened to frequently during a terrible time would have terrible memories associated, but I was amazed to see that the thing I remember most is the hope, the moments of knowing that I really would be all right, that things really would be okay. I remembered the comfort I drew from the music, from the clear conviction in Susan's lovely voice.
Now, all these many years later, my beliefs have changed in a lot of ways, but my faith is stronger than ever. And hearing this album reminds me just how very far I really have come...
Admittedly, that's a very subjective review and my personal reaction to the music. From a more objective point of view, the music is strongly written with a clear and unambiguous message of hope, faith, encouragement, and promise. Susan's voice is strong and she is an extremely good singer, using her voice perfectly to communicate the message. Good arrangements (very much in the style of 90s country, but not too "twangy" or "countrified"), and overall just a really strong, uplifting, and well-produced album in all respects.
And back to that personal reflection, I'm so glad I had this album during my tribulations and trial by fire, and I'm even more glad that I got it out today to listen to it again. |

Highlights from an Unfortunately Short Career

Back in the early 90's, Susan Ashton burst onto the Christian music scene with a couple very well reviewed CD's. Before she tried to cross over to a country artist, she released four projects for Sparrow and this best of.
This CD was released after her third project came out. That third CD only gets two songs here. It didn't have great success at radio, which is a shame because it had some great tracks. They just weren't radio friendly. "Waiting for Your Love to Come Down" and "Remember Not" were more radio friendly, but they weren't the best that CD had to offer. And they continue to be the weak links here.
The rest of the CD will brings smiles of remembrance from anyone who listened to Christian radio during Susan's heyday. It opens with "Here in My Heart" and includes such staples as "Down on My Knees," "No One Knows My Heart," and my favorite "In Amazing Grace Land." Interestingly enough, the CD closes with "Beyond Justice to Mercy" which was never a hit at radio. I must admit I didn't like this song of reconciliation, but it has grown on me.
As most collection CD's do, this one has two new tracks. "Stand" is a song of commitment in spite of the trials of life. "Hide or Seek" is classic Susan as it talks about the decision to seek or hide from God's love.
I'm not quite sure what killed Susan's Christian career, but I miss her music. Her few releases are still regular staples in my CD player. And this excellent collection will show you exactly why. |
