Review: Various Artists
Heart of Worship 9
The Heart of Worship series began in 2000 with each album featuring some of the biggest worship songs released at that time. Now into volume 9 of the series, the series shows no signs of slowing up. Heart of Worship Volume 9 features thirty tracks spread across two CDs written by some of the leading worship songwriters of today.
The songwriters on this album include people of the caliber of Darlene Zschech, Brian Doerksen and Reuben Morgan.
The standout tracks have to be Chris Mclarney's Your Love Never Fails, which is one of the those great tracks that get stuck into your soul. The other standout tracks are Hillsong's 'Saviour King' and Paul Baloche's song 'Our God Saves', amazing worship songs really impacting the church at the moment.
The majority of the tracks on this album are live versions of these songs at various events. You can hear this during the stunning I Am Free, this fast paced worship song, really energizing people in worship.
As compilations go, and there have been a lot released over the last few months, this isn't one of my favorites, yet it is full of great worship songs that bring people closer to God. If you are a fan of the series, I'm sure you will very much enjoy this album.
