The quality of instrumentation in the album is very high as it employs keyboard, wind instrumentation such as trumpets, tambourines and others.
The guitars are conspicuously used and most interesting is the extensive use of the percussion which gives songs like Mighty Power and Mawuloloto both done in the jama vein some genuine Africaness.
Mighty Power is a praise song which takes off with the Keyboard and drums rendition but as the track progresses the different kinds of percussions come into play making the fast tempo song very danceable.

Jesus Died is mid-tempo heavily loaded with guitar and trumpet renditions at the beginning, the vocal backing provided by the Pastor’s church choir makes the song come out well as the predominant treble and alto parts of the choir blend with the Pastor baritone lead vocals.
Joy is Keyboard driven and once again the Pastor’s baritone vocal provides the correct tone for that piece.
