In Gateway Worship's second album entitled Wake Up The World, they have provided us some real gems.  The Lord Reigns, Alabaster Jar, and God Of My Days represent some of the best new music from Christ For The Nations Institute alums Walker Beach, Zach Neese, and Klaus Kuehn.  In fact, most of the Gateway music staff have either taught or studied at CFNI!  The touching ballad, Beautiful, was co-written by Paul Baloche, Mia Fieldes of Hillsong, and Revelation Song soloist Kari Jobe of Gateway.  Every one of these songs can make a significant contribution to your song set.  We encourage you to get the album and give them a listen! » Read More

The new album "More Than Music," by Rick Muchow features the new worship classics selected from his congregational worship sessions at Saddleback Church and from his time on the road with Pastor Rick Warren for Purpose Driven Life events. From the upbeat celebration of “I’m Set Free,” to the reflective awe of “Oh Why Such Love,” and the tender reminder of “Trust God,” the songs on More Than Music further emphasize the first line in Warren’s Purpose Driven Life and exemplify the album’s title which is named after the mission statement of the music ministry at Saddleback: “More than music, we’re a family.” As always, you can find many great ministry articles right here written by Rick Muchow at PraiseCharts Live. Check out "More Than Music," and download and print the charts today! » Read More

While at GMA earlier this year, we had the opportunity to hear Chris Tomlin present a new song for the very first time to a live audience.  Chris talked about his desire to write a song that would convey the message of Jesus as our Messiah and began to sing, Jesus Messiah.  It was like hearing How Great Is Our God all over again, but with a new lyric and new melody (read the blog entry here, from April 21, 2008).  This week, Jesus Messiah was released as a single on iTunes.  It seems that with Chris Tomlin, you just can't go wrong, so we decided to jump on it and create the fully orchestrated arrangement.  So, if you are looking for something fresh (and I mean fresh), download and print the charts today!

Mercy Me has written some amazing songs.  Few have gone to the same heights as I Can Only Imagine, but their latest album has shown a lot of strength, especially with the song God With Us. When Mercy Me sang God With Us at the recent Dove Awards, the entire auditorium filled with the sound of voices in worship.  Imagine your church singing at top of their longs, "all that is within me cries, to You along be glorified ..." Charts are now available to download, print and play -- including piano, vocal, brass, wind and strings.

Before the tragic events of this week ever unfolded, we had named Cinderella as our Song Of The Week (posted on Monday). Little did we know how this song would capture the heart of people all over the world, just three days later.  On Friday morning, Ryan posted a blog entry, giving people an opportunity to meet Maria and pour out their words of hope and encouragement to the Chapman's.  Never before have we seen such a response. Now, we have just posted a video where Steven sings Cinderella, and then tells the story of the event that inspired him to write the song.
