The Purest Place
Watermark returns to their worship roots November 16th 2004 by Anonymous in www.thejman.com
IN A PHRASE: Watermark returns with a great worship project that has the power to lead the listener into the purest place, the presence of their King.
Watermark’s newest offering, The Purest Place, could be seen as a complete homecoming to who they were before they were signed by Rocketown. If you’re not familiar with Watermark, let me give you a little history lesson.
Watermark is made up of husband-wife duo, Nathan and Christy Nockels, who began their “career” in the music world as lead worshippers at Passion Conferences where many of today’s modern worship artists originally hail from. Since then they have been discovered by Rocketown Records and have been a very successful addition to their roster.
The only problem with this is that Watermark has lost their “worship touch” in some ways, trading it in for the adult contemporary norm. I believe The Purest Place proves that they never lost sight of their roots steeped in modern worship, especially when you think of the friends they brought in to collaborate.
Another thing that isn’t well understood by newcomers to Watermark is the place that Nathan holds in the group, especially since Christy’s vocals are the dominant factor of the group. Nathan’s production is what makes Watermark who they are. It really comes into play on this record as vocalists like Tim Hughes, Charlie Hall, and Danielle Young of Caedmon’s Call join Christy to add some more vocal flavor to these already great lyrics.
Many of these tracks will easily work their way into worship conferences and churches across the country, and yet they won’t lose the interest of radio since they’re so superbly produced, which is rare for worship music.
Tracks like Soli Deo Gloria, You Are, and My Covering beg for repeat as you sing along, while The Glory of Your Name, inspired by The Passion of the Christ, brings the movie back to your remembrance as you’re captivated again by the Cross.
Holy Roar and Captivate Us (with Charlie Hall) allude themselves back to the influence of the Passion conferences on their music, as Hidden In You and Knees To The Earth call us to find that place where God is a part of everything we are.
My final word…
This album is for those who want a contemplative worship experience that takes them farther into the presence of God than the normal CD has the power to do. Watermark has created a spectacular project that remembers what was and looks forward to the future of their music’s reach.

This was my first encounter with Watermark and I loved it straight away. The lyrics are fantastic and they combine this with beautiful melodies. The songs really lift your spirit and focus your eyes on the God, exploring every aspect of who he is; awesome creator, faithful friend! This is an amazing album I would definately recomend it for anyone who enjoys artists such as Parachute band or Mercy Me.

God Driven Music March 8th 2005 by in Houston, Tx
This is an amazing cd. These two are some of the most talented Christian artists out there. Knees to the Earth is such a powerful song, that it creates a mood of realizing how great He is. Seeing them lead praise live is such an experience. Watermark never dissapoints.

Amazing!! May 15th 2005 by Amy in California
Watermark never disappoints and this rich album of focusing on the Lord and all that He is, is no exception.
From the insightful poem in the beginning to the last note of Mended, sincerity, humility, passion, and beauty shine through. The Purest Place is Jesus and in Him we find majesty and grace.
Christy's vocal performance is the best yet, and Nathan's production work has continued to grow in creativity. There isn't a dull moment on this CD.
If you need music to keep you focused on the truth of who God is and our appropriate response to Him..this is the CD for you.

A Call To Worship August 21st 2005 by Summer in NC
This is the first album I have owned by Watermark. Their songs are so encouraging and they all point to the Lord and how wonderful He is! I really have found it as a call to worship, and this album has been a huge encouragement to me because of it. The lyrics are very deep and Scripture-based, which is hard to find sometimes in more recent albums. I definitely recommend purchasing this album - I have owned it since it came out and have listened to it repeatedly and I am still not sick of it! It is a real blessing.

I listened to this the first time and wondered if Watermark had any bad songs! It is great from start to finish! Several of the songs get stuck in your head but what a great message to have stuck in your head!
