Review: Justin Gambino’s “Garden of the Lord”

“Garden of the Lord” is a Christian worship EP in reverence of God being all-powerful and sacrificial.

Justin Gambino acknowledges God’s heart full of grace and his own willingness to surrender to Him. The Residence Music project is like a serene day at the beach or a local park. His smooth vocals are perfect for a music director and contrasts nicely with melodies designed for church sanctuaries or personal worship time. Each song holds meaning and purpose.

The award-winning singer/songwriter outdid himself in music production alongside collaborator Walter Halliwell. Tony Wood joined the songwriting credits for the song “Let Me Not Forget.”

The EP contains modern hymns ready to become church favorites. Standout songs from “Garden of the Lord” are “Focus” and the peaceful instrumental track “The Invitation.”

I highly recommend “Garden of the Lord” to people of all ages. It helps calm emotional storms and places emphasis on good.

Justin Gambino: The inspiration for this project came from my testimony. As I began telling my story publicly—one that had been buried for so long—I felt as though I was walking through a neglected garden. Looking back on my life became an invitation from the Lord to walk with me through the garden of my heart and tend to the places that had gone dormant over the years.

I held onto these songs for a while feeling they were just meant for me in my secret place with Him, but God ultimately led me to record and share them, and now my hope is that this music will allow others to enter into their own secret place with the Lord. Perhaps He is inviting you to take that same walk with Him through a neglected garden.
