As a theme for her album, Christian singer-songwriter Sara Groves focused on the concept that "God has invited us, as mere human beings, to add to the beauty of his plan and creation."

As a result, she has concocted a hopeful album that invites listeners to rise above the depravity of this world, and to contribute to its betterment.

The acoustic piano and guitar sound continue with the title track, and starts to really hit on the theme of this record: the building of the kingdom of God.

"Kingdom Comes", a highlight track, she walks through different ways that the body of Christ can reach out and be "a little stone... a little mortar" in building up the church.

Joel Hanson (of PFR fame), Gordon Kennedy (Eric Clapton, Pierce Pettis), Matt Bronlewee (Jars of Clay) and the GMA's current “Producer of the Year” Ed Cash each weigh in.

While Sara's thought-provoking lyrics remain the centerpiece of the songs she and her comrades paired on, and she composed most of the music in these instances, these four friends escort her into occasional new territory.

At CCM Magazine, Jay Swartzendruber graded the album an A, calling the songs on the release "revealing and vulnerable" and noting how the lyricism is "more inclusive, open and universal.

[8] At Jesus Freak Hideout, Shaun Stevenson rated the album four-and-a-half stars, highlighting that this "is great for those looking for a soft sound and a definite thought-provoking conversation with Sara Groves.
