Michael Neale
is the now worship leader at The People's Church in Franklin, TN. This
weeks feature song comes from Michael's most recent album, No Greater Audience. The song, I Am Yours, is another contemporary remake of the classic hymn, Take My Life And Let It Be.
It is actually amazing to think of how many of these contemporary hymn
make-overs are capturing the heart of worship in churches all around
the world. It seems like the best arrangements are those that
don't try to destroy the original hymn, but rather to just add
something fresh to it -- often as a bridge.

It is actually amazing to think of how many of these contemporary hymn make-overs are capturing the heart of worship in churches all around the world. It seems like the best arrangements are those that don't try to destroy the original hymn, but rather to just add something fresh to it -- often as a bridge. This is what we did in most of our PraiseHymns and PraiseCarols arrangements. Others that stand out are Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King (Gateway Church), New Doxology (Gateway Church) , and even My Savior My God (Aaron Shust), which is a remake of I Am Not Skilled To Understand. Well, when a song stands strong in the Top 5 of PraiseCharts out of a growing catalog of more than 1200 titles, we definitely take notice. Michael Neales I Am Yours has definitely found a voice. The hymn is true to it's source, and the new bridge is singable and powerful.
