Essential Worship for the new year

|PIC1|There are good songs. Then there are great songs. And then there are the essential ones: the songs that seem to be able to both define a time and inspire an army of Christians. And this compilation boasts thirty of them.

Songs like ‘You Never Let Go’ by Matt Redman, ‘Everlasting God’ by Brenton Brown and Vicky Beeching’s ‘Yesterday, Today and Forever’ articulate – and introduce - a connection with God that goes beyond the typical. Delirious’ ‘My Soul Sings’, ‘God Of

This City’ by Bluetree and Ben Cantelon’s ‘Not Ashamed’ are everyday anthems strong enough to storm many a city wall.

Add to that list songs like ‘Jesus Saves’ by Tim Hughes and Hillsong United’s ‘To The Ends of the Earth’, and you have a perfect idea why this two CD worship collection could only ever be tagged with one single word: Essential.

This essential album will be released from Kingsway Music on 18 January 2010.
