The music
Disc one contains the following songs.
The album opens with Awesome God by Michael W. Smith from his new album Worship. The renedition of this song is simply brillant.
Michael takes a powerful Rich Mullins song and makes it his own. You can feel the spirit move in this song through the piano and string music in the background.
Breathe sung by Rebecca St. James. The song is an upbeat version of Breathe and has a drum beat. It is comparable to similar stylings of Rebecca from her God and other albums.
God of Wonders by Mac Powell of Third Day and Cliff and Danielle Young of Cademon's Call. This song is driving and full of life with an upbeat tempo and great guitar music. The song says it all. "God of Wonders beyond our galaxy you are holy, holy. The music rings true as the singers bring this song to life with the powerful guitar and other instruments. I found myself just closing my eyes and reflecting on the love and awesomeness of God during this song.
Imagine by Amy Grant. While I love the song Imagine sung by Mercy Me I didn't really care for this version of the song. I would much rather have the Mercy Me version which brings the song alive. If you like this song check out the Mercy Me website to hear their version at http://www.mercyme.org.
Majesty sung by Caedmon's Call -another powerful worship song, slow and moving but not dying hymnal slow. The song is sung a decent pace and not drug out or sung too fast as in other reditions. You'll definitely get lost in the awe of God in this one.
You Are My All in All- Nicole Nordeman sings this song with power and conviction. This song is upbeat and catchy. It is a pop like song which has a dancing type beat to it. The lyrics are You are my strength when I am weak, you are the treasure that I seek, you are my all in all. This song is taken from the Girls of Grace Album which is a complication album from the gals of Point of Grace.
I could Sing of Your Love Forever- Sonicflood. -Great song strong lyrics but another one that I just didn't listen to for long.
The next 3 songs are Hungry, Forever by Chris Tomlin and You are My King by NewSong I didn't get a chance to listen to as I skipped to I Give you My Heart by Darlene Zcheck from Hillsongs and Every Move I Make which has my children singing.
Out of Eden's song just brings a smile to their faces and they belt out the words. The song is upbeat and full of a dance beat. The lyrics are catchy and the tune will have you singing.
Let Everything That Has Breath by Matt Redman- another upbeat driving tempo song. The singers in the background blend with Matt in his deliverance of this song. You'll hear guitar, keyboard, and drums prominent in this song.
Redeemer by Nicole C. Mullen. Nicole won a dove award for this song last year. This song was one of the most brillantly written songs I have heard in ages. The song is powerful and heartfelt. Redeemer is slow and sung with great passion. To me this is one of the best reasons for having the album in the first place.
4 Him is next with Thy Word. The blending of voices from 4 Him and Harmony make this song another keeper on this album. 4 Him sings with power and conviction. The song is sung at a slow tempo and has a light beat to it.
Step by Step by Rich Mullins who has made song history with hits as Awesome God and many more. Although Rich has passed on his songs and music live on. Rich shared a powerful and passionate love for God which is expressed in all of his music. This song has a light violin to it with powerful keyboard and bass to it. It's slow but heartfelt.
Bonus on this cd is Audience of One by Big Daddy Weave who has just become one of my new favorite artists. Audience of One is powerful with guitar, strong vocals, and reminds me of a Hootie and the Blowfish type band with a Christian twist. Definitely Christian music has come a long way since the days of hymns as you can tell in this album.
Disc 2 contains songs like Your Love oh Lord by Third Day- slow ballad guitar song with light drum beat. Third Day is comparable to another Hootie and the Blowfish style song.
Shout to the Lord- There are many versions of Shout to the Lord. This one is slow and has a light beat to it. With more of a Avalon type feel. It is not the Hillsongs version but one that has a more teen/upbeat type style to it. The lyrics are still the same just the beat has changed and personally I like it just the same if not better because it is a Jump 5 type style as well.
More Love, More Power by Jeff Deyo- Starts off in a chant type style and then goes into a harder rock type beat style. The song picks up with the drum and guitar beat which brings the song to life. More Love, More power is one of my favorite worship songs and this version makes it even better. It is a different type of song but is very well done and I'm sure teens will love this song.
The next song our family listened to was the Happy Song by Delirious. This song has harmonica and fast guitar. It's upbeat and causes by boys to bounce when they hear it.They call it the Bouncing song instead of the happy song. LOL. It's a fun upbeat worship song about how we could tell about how much God has done for us. It's just a fun song and a pleasure to listen to.
FFH is next with Better is one Day. - It starts off as a Ballad type song with slow guitar and light keyboard but then moves into the chorus with Better is one Day in your House to an upbeat pace. It has a catchy chorus and great harmony.
Come Now is the Time To Worship by Phillips Craig and Dean. Phillips Craig and Dean have been singing gospel songs for years. This song reflects their style with guitar and vocals that harmonize and blend in brillant harmony to vocalize their love for God. This song will have you raise your hands in the air. The song has guitar, keyboard, and a light drum beat. Not the poppy type song some of the other songs on this album have.
The Heart of Worship by Passion- More guitar you'll find in this song and a slow pace. This song brings you into a worshipful mind and heart as you sing when the music plays and all is stripped away and you come to God longing just to be something that's of worth that will bless your heart. The gal who sings the beginning of this song's voice is just beautiful and you can hear through her voice her heart for God. The chorus blends together in harmony yet again with a light drum beat which reminds me of my church services when I went to camp when I was younger.
The next song I listened to is dynamic and talented artist Twila Paris with her familar song He is Exalted. He is Exalted starts off with synthesizer type piano and light drum with Twila joining in. He is Exalted is a traditional church worship song which I have sung for ages. The song is true, heartfelt and Twila sings with conviction, heart, and passion as I like to call this song an oldy by goodie.
There are more songs left on the cd but I have to be honest and say I haven't listened to them yet but if you'd like to listen to this cd online. WOW worship has put together a great website at Http://www.wowworship.com. At the site you can listen to the whole album and decide for yourself if Wow worship is for you.
This album is an excellent value. You'll be singing the songs for hours as you drive in your car, clean your house, go to sleep. I have used this album when I just need to find a little bit of peace in a chaotic day and just to get to a place where I can just worship God and magnify his name. This album will have you doing just that.
The artists on this album are all brillant artists and excellent at their craft. Each one shares a passionate, hearfelt love for the Lord which is reflected in their music and brought across when you listen as you hear their hearts through the words they sing.
The cd contains 3 bonus songs and when you place it in your cdrom drive it will take you to the Wow Worship website where you can see other goodies like devotions with the artists, download of wallpaper, and so much more.
I encourage you to buy this album and let worship become an every day part of your life today.
