The Anointed Pace Sisters - Return

In the ballad, The Words U Said, centering on restoration and trust, TAPS showcases their pure harmonies, especially in the final moments hovering around “the shadow of His wings” (Psalm 57:1, Psalm 63:7). June Pace-Martin, somewhat channeling LaShun, holds down the lead on Hold On, a back-to-basics, hand-clapping praise buster, where “the race is not given to the swift, but to the one that endureth” (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Rescue mixes in some rock elements, emphasizing the battle between the enemy’s intent to “kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10), while claiming His name loudly and unashamedly. Bringing back a TAPS favorite, It’s Already Done, led enthusiastically by Duranice Pace, states “look to the hills” (Psalm 121:1-2) instead of the world. Next we enter God’s World, as Melonda Pace delivers a message to increase our praise territory: “Step into your secret closet of prayer” (Matthew 6:6-8).

LaShun joins the Pace sisterhood for He’s Here, and frankly wastes no time citing Zephaniah 3:17. This piece, written by musical director/producer, Daniel Moore II, sandwiches in When God Is In The Building.

The title track closes the live recording from Siloam International in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area. Heading the house band is Moore II, flanked by such players as Darrell Freeman (Queen Latifah, Micah Stampley), Rick Walford (Pastor Shirley Caesar), and June Pace’s son Dennis L. Martin adding keyboards. Aided by a four-piece brass section, they expertly cover a wide variety of genres. Return, also out on DVD, delivers musical blessings, many pinches of exhortations, and marvelous Pace bedtime memories.
