While in both scenarios, I have enjoyed Israel’s version and Jesus Culture’s version respectively, Christine’s efforts into presentation an almost identical representation of these hit songs is nothing but poignant, powerful, emotional and exciting as I listen and hear her declare God’s presence to come and brood over His children as He continuously pursues and longs for us to come back to Him. Christine D’Clario also covers Israel Houghton’s ‘Your Presence is Heaven’, as well as the Daniel Bashta penned and recorded ‘Pursuit’, also sung by worship movement Jesus Culture on their double-disc November 2012 live album collaborated with Martin Smith. This is exactly what God deserves, and Christine’s cover of a Desperation Band highlight from their 2012 album is one that will also be a well-deserved highlight from Deeper as well.
Magnify by definition is to increase, to make bigger. Once we understand that we are the sons and daughters of the One who made the stars, but also fashioned our innermost being, all we can do is just exalt His name, show the world that He is magnified above all other names.

Starting off the song with a simple guitar riff, we are met with a song full of intense passion and rejuvenating energy as we hear Christine declare the words ‘…we stand in awe of Your unfailing love that has covered us, we stand amazed of Your unending grace we cannot repay…’ With the gospel of grace and sacrifice presented right in the middle of these lyric lines, we are able to understand through this melody that it is because of who God is, and what He has done that we can be called His children. ‘Magnified’ is the first single on the album, and while I have first heard the song on Desperation Band’s Center of it All, it is on Deeper where I have enjoyed the song the most. From the heartfelt ‘Magnified’ that declares God’s worth and shows us and Him that He is ‘…Son of God be magnified…’ to the poignant melody ‘Your Presence is Heaven’ (one of my favourite worship songs of 2012, having the potential to be nominated for Praise/Worship Song of the Year at the 2013 Dove Awards) this is an album that is perfect for anyone who loves great worship music with a Latin American flavour (in a similar vein to other artists like Julissa or Jaci Velasquez), or if you are looking for some new arrangements to fan-favourite songs that are certain to be classic worship melodies in years to come.
I long to see it inspire them to plunge into the depths of God’s love in such a way that nothing else matters more…’ we are met with some of the most enjoyable worship songs since Meredith Andrews’ Worth it All, as well as some of the most underrated worship songs since those on Hearts of Saints For All of Us. As Christine gives us some insight to the project- ‘…my greatest desire with Deeper is that the Church, collectively and individually, can come to know sides of God’s love and personality that they never have before. Featuring covers of ‘Your Presence is Heaven’ (Israel Houghton), ‘Magnified’ (Desperation Band) as well as two covers from Daniel Bashta (‘Pursuit’ and ‘Arise’) Christine’s 10 track album is one of my favourites in February 2013, with a great passion and enthusiastic vocal presence shown through each song as listeners are given a great journey of exaltation and praise as we individually and collectively journey deeper into the Lord’s presence and continually understand and fully grasp His unending love for us. Receiving a Dove Award nomination for nominated Spanish album De Vuelta Al Jardin (Back To The Garden) (as well as her Spanish cover of ‘How He Loves’ receiving more than 3 million views on Youtube) Christine is now readying to release her first English release, Deeper this coming Tuesday (19 th February), alongside the Spanish counterpart of the same songs (titled Mas Profundo). Worship leader Christine D’Clario is a beloved Latin American artist listened to by many people around the globe, hearing her as she worships in Spanish and touching many lives in the process.
