“Cohen’s songs have been an essential part of the make-up of the entire genre we now term, ‘Messianic.’ If you have been in (this arena of music) for any length of time, you know these songs. These are some of the ‘standards’ that come to mind whenever you think of ‘Messianic praise and worship.'” – MTimes Music Review • 2007
