Gather Worship Shares Debut Album 'Hear The World That You So Love Sing Back To You'
From February 28th through March 1st, the historic Gather25 event, initiated by Founder and Visionary Jennie Allen, is set to bring together the world’s 2.5 billion Christians for 25 hours of prayer, worship, repentance and commissioning. Ahead of the groundbreaking moment, the event’s corresponding music collective, Gather Worship, delivers one of the most unique projects in the Christian music space with 11 powerful songs that reflect the voice of the global Church via its debut album ‘Hear The World That You So Love Sing Back To You,’ out today, February 21st (Integrity Music).
"I had the joy of executive producing this album with my good friend, Jason Ingram,” says Matt Redman. "We gathered some songwriters for a few days together in California and Jennie Allen flew in to convey to us all the vision of Gather25. I feel like everyone in the room really resonated so much with what she shared, and the songs started to flow."
The new album is intended to serve as the soundtrack to the first-of-its-kind event, bringing together 20 worship leaders from ten different countries to unify their voices for the mission of spreading the Gospel. Listeners will hear songs in multiple languages including Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, and Swahili, offering a glimpse into the heart of the global Church.
