Here's a collection of Crystal Lewis' most popular tunes from all the way back to Charade to the recent remix collection compiled by Scott Blackwell. Included are remastered versions of "Frustrated," "Precious Lord," "Bloodstained Pages," "You Didn't Have to Do It," "Let Love In," "I Must Tell Jesus," "I Now Live," "Remember," "Only Fools," "You'll be Back for Me," "Amazing Grace," and "My Redeemer Lives" as well as the Blackwell version of "Shine Jesus Shine."

Along with her favorites comes a new release, "Come Just as You Are." It is a simple piano and bass track that builds into a very full sounding request to "Come and see/come receive/come and live forever."

In addition to the music, there is also a booklet containing not only all the lyrics, but a collection of photos and a story written by Lewis on her career in music.

Standard greatest hits description: a good choice if you want to get a little sample of her music or if you're a die-hard fan that can't resist completing the collection.
