Martin Lloyd: Secret Place is a reflection of my own private worship times, and a desire that I've had for a long time to produce a resource that might help other lovers of Jesus to cultivate their 'secret place' with Him - that place of intimacy where His plans, purposes and heart for us are revealed, and we can feel Him close; nestled beneath His wings. I have a passion for the Psalms and King David's heart, and need to state here how inspiring Dr Brian Simmons' "The Passion Translation' has been in breathing fresh life into the Psalms for me. To all who listen to Secret place, my prayer is that the songs lead them on a journey to the Secret Place of greater intimacy with their loving Father, and that a spirit of peace and rest settles on every heart, life and home

Martin: As a teenager in the '80s I still feel that was the most incredibly rich and creative decade musically. The likes of Michael Jackson, Prince, The Police (and Sting), Genesis, INXS (great Aussie band) and the emrgence of Bryan Adams and U2 were all features for me throughout this time. Developing my own style of improvised worship more through the '90s, Hillsong had a great influence, along with Michale W Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman, whom I regard as one of the great singer/songwriters of his generation. More recently, I have been greatly inspired by the melodies of Coldplay, and firmly believe that Chris Martin has been anointed with an incredible gift, even though he doesn't acknowledge it yet!!

Martin: I would say "You Have Made Me", given that it was written at a time when my wife and I were trying to get our heads around the Grace message; trying to 'un-learn' years of a more works-based theology to embrace a new paradigm - saved by Grace, once for all, and loved unconditionally by an amazing, loving Father. Ultimately, it's a song of recognition that in the end nothing excites Jesus more than spending time with us, His children. The greatest thing that we can do is give Him our all - the good and the bad, and surrender our hearts to Him. As I sit and soak under this song, I can feel His presence soaring and swirling over me, particularly in the instrumental break towards the end of the track.

Martin: Music is one of the great loves of my life, and I would be thrilled if I could devote more of my time to it. I would love to spend more time exploring the Father's heart through worship with other artists of like mind and spirit. Ultimately, I firmly believe that hearts and lives are truly transformed in the presence of Jesus, and I consider it an honour and privilege to lead people to a point of engaging with Him and allowing Him to minister, nurture, heal, inspire, and bring gentle correction. My desire is to see the name of Jesus glorified in every corner of the earth, that His kingdom be manifest on the earth. If there is any small thing that I can do to see this come to pass, then I'm in boots and all!

Martin: You would find, in no particular order: Bethel, Amanda Cook, Elevation Worship, United Pursuit, Coldplay, Steven Curtis Chapman

Martin: Steven Curtis Chapman and Coldplay. The creative energy and genius would be life-changing. I would be happy to tour anywhere with these guys, but I do have a dream that one day I will go to the nations of Africa and minister at rallies of thousands - to see peope that have very little in the way of material possessions so consumed with passion for Jesus and emanating His unbridled joy, even in the face of great adversity.
