Some thoughts on The Lord's Prayer...
Let me begin by saying this "arrangement is incredible"! I love the mix, and the vocal interweaving back and forth stands out as your lead vocals lead the way... to take a song that has been done in so many ways by so many people isn't easy to do and be special. Your rendition of this prayer of Jesus is exceptional! The sound of the instruments, especially the rhythm section is very warm and inviting. This is a wonderful song from top to bottom. The short rest in the middle, and rise back up was the crown of the song! Great song, great vocals. I'm a blessed fan now... Michael D'Aigle

Review of The Lords Prayer by Minnie Smith
Pros: Amazing harmonies! I was impressed with the intricate vocal harmonies. Kudos to the arranger and singer(s)As always it is difficult to put Scripture to music, and this song did it well. The track is very listenable. Cons: There is little variation throughout the song. The beat never changes much and the instrumentation is just a constant background and does not grab you. The tune is very repetitive, and for the first few minutes it was great, but the song is pretty long and it got a little boring. I would have liked to hear a little more spark in the lead vocal - more intensity. Overall a wonderful effort!

The Lord's Prayer
This song is a refreshing new look at a song many of us can remember from years ago. The singer has A very pleasant voice that captures you right at the beginning then doesn't let go until it's over. The vocal harmonies through out this uplifting tune are excellently executed with a very good arrangement. The music track is solid but never walks over the vocals, a mark of good engineering and mixing. This re-make was very good. Way to go, Minnie!

BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!!!
Minnie Smith, I must say I was touched when I first listened to your song, "The Lord's Prayer." Your voice is truly anointed!!! The song is well put together, from the production, Minnie's angelic delivery as well as the mix sounds great! The harmonies took me to a different place, especially when you were singing amen throughout the song and towards the end. The bridge was also well put together! This song is a blessing to me because it reminds me of how good God has been to me and STILL IS great to me as well as my family and loved ones. I definitely recommend this song to any and everyone who needs a reminder of why we are still here. Continue doing God's work Minnie; God will continue to bless you!!!!

Wonderfully Done With Expertise!!!
What a GREAT rendition of "The Lords Prayer" and i was quite taken by your beautiful, flawless voice! You serve this song so well with perfect execution on every note. I LOVE THIS SONG! It's a very good production and arrangement. It only lacks mastering to make it Pop and Shine more for radio airplay. Minnie this is a national HIT just waiting to be exposed. I would love to have you sing on a track with me on one of my future albums! "Never Stop Singing" you have an awesome voice, a unique vocal gift! Reminds me of Bunny Debarge of the legendary group "Debarge" Much blessing's! **Music FaDa World** GARRY MOORE.

Please keep sharing your gift!
This is the most unusual take on the Lord's prayer that I've heard. You have a beautiful voice. You sing with such joy in every line. Its refreshing to hear from someone who actually sound like they mean it. The break in the middle is atypical - catches the listener completely off guard. I love the harmony and the structure of the song. I would like to hear a little more passion toward the end. It could be just what your producer wanted, but I wanted you to be shaking the foundations of the earth at the end of the song. I wanted to hear tears falling down and maybe you do that live, but I wanted in this recording. All I see for you is a bright future! God bless you woman of God. PLEASE keep sharing your gift. I'll recommend this one.

Beautiful
I love your rendition of the Lord's Prayer!!! You have such a beautiful voice! You sound a lot like Chante Moore. This version is so relaxing, calming and jazzy wrapped all in one. I really love the chorus. I feel this song should be played on the radio stations all around because it is truly catchy and awesome!!!! Continue to allow God to use you to bless the masses with your wonderful gift! I'm truly going to share this on my Facebook page. Be blessed

Wonderful Rendition of Thanksgiving & Prayer of Contrition
Beautifully rendered in every way! I am so enjoying the harmony of these voices especially you Minnie. I have never heard the Lord's Prayer sung in such a wonderfully anointed mix musical composition and voices. I am blessed to have heard it and know others will be also. Even the angels are rejoicing at this song going forth across the airwaves. So beautiful, I want to hear and sing it every day. The percussion is especially effective including the triangle played and then the wonderful addition of male back up vocals portrays a heavenly choir. And the addition of the lyrics thanking Jesus for His Promises, Gift of Life and Grace is the crowning glory on this song. Amen! I will be listening often now! Thank you Minnie for this wonderful addition to worship songs of the ages. Selah!

Beautiful Voice, Awesome Song!
This song is very nicely done in Gospel fashion. The progression is musical and the voices are heavenly. The backgrounds are about as close as you can get to a choir without being a choir. Love some of the jazzy chords that are outlined. It is a simple message but powerful just the same! Great job and I am eager to hear more from Minnie Smith. The production and instrumentation is excellent and what I would expect from a first rate gospel recording. 5 Stars on this one!
