The creators of City on a Hill have put together another amazing album; and this title could not fit it any better. Our God of Wonders is undoubtedly a "gathering of your favourite artists and worship songs."
It starts off with one of Third Day's most well known songs "Your Love Oh Lord" (from album 'Time'), and continues with Twila Paris' "He Is Exalted" performed by Adore. Following those are "Needful Hands" (Jars of Clay), "I Love You, Lord" - one of the most renowned worship songs (performed by the Paul Colman Trio), "We Delight" (Caedmon's Call, from their latest album 'In the Company of Angels'), Keith Green's "Oh Lord, You're Beautiful" (performed by Sarah Sadler), Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" (from 'Worship'), the very familiar "As the Deer" (one of my favourite choruses of all time - here beautifully performed by Adore), FFH's "We Sing Alleluia," another popular chorus "All in All" (performed by Jason Ingram w/ SONICFLOOD) - followed by a performance of "Lord Over All" by SONICFLOOD, and ends with an incredible version of "God of Wonders" performed by Third Day's Mac Powell and Caedmon's Call's Cliff and Danielle Young.
The album portrays beautiful and God glorifying lyrics, great instrumentation, a diverse group of artists all bringing in their most noted assets (be it vocals, instrument abilities, or style), and some of the most familiar tunes we all know and love: a combination that's hard to beat! I highly recommend this album!

The first two installments, Songs of Worship and Praise and Sing Alleluia, confirmed producers Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd as purveyors of consistently innovative worship music, garnering near-universal critical acclaim, multiple Dove Awards and nominations and combined sales…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by Josh McConnellSome of you may be familiar with the "City On a Hill" series, but for those of you who aren't...there are currently two City On a Hill albums; both full of various artists coming together and making new worship songs. Well the creators of the series (Essential Records) have done yet another worship album titled Our God of Wonders! Like City On a Hill, this album has a number of Christian artists,…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by John WehrleOur God of Wonders is a compilation CD of praise music, which acts as a sequel to the City on a Hill project. The project had moments of overall good music, but the music doesn't flow together. The album starts on the right foot with Third Day's rock/praise rendition of "Your Love Oh Lord," and like the prequel CD this album starts off strong. "He is Exalted" and the Jars tune "Needful Hands" are…Similar sounding releases
