Take Hold of Christ features sweeping orchestrations and those rafter-raising endings that are a Sandi Patty staple. But mostly, the songs she selected had to stir in her the same emotions stoked by classics like 'How Majestic Is Your Name' and 'In the Name of the Lord.' Musically and lyrically, the album is in many ways a return to the kind of music that first put Sandi on the path to a record 11 Doves as female vocalist of the year.

For this album Sandi has again teamed with award-winning producer Greg Nelson and arranger David Hamilton, resulting in a classically styled album filled with new songs of faith and praise.
