The latest chapter in this innovative Kingsway series once again calls on the services of the usual worship heavyweights such as Hillsong, Delirious?, Brenton Brown and Matt Redman. Irishman Eoghan Heaslip, Phatfish's Lou Fellingham and up and coming singer/songwriter Aaron Keyes also feature impressively and more than hold their ground in what is an eclectic and extremely well-executed collection of songs that seek to glorify God at every turn. Whilst each of the 28 tracks deserves its place in the running order, highlights include Delirious? frontman Martin Smith doing his best Bono impression on the stomping "Fill My Cup" whilst Paul Oakley and Stuart Townend cement the consistency of their songwriting prowess in "You're Beautiful" and "Salvation's Song" respectively. Admittedly, all the songs featured here are available on previous releases by the artists in question but you could do worse than investing in this collection just to have potentially some of the top worship songs of the future together in one place.

Product Description
Live To Worship serves up its fifth adventure, and this time there’s no map to follow. All we have is the sure knowledge that these are great days for the worshipping church.
Wherever you look - wherever you listen - there are songs coming out that encourage, inspire, challenge and redirect. If the songwriters are the new theologians for the day, then they’re taking their role seriously. The words that are coming out are every bit as honest, as inspired and as vital today as ever.
So, Live To Worship 5 is another compilation of 28 worship tracks taken from the very best of today’s worship leaders and songwriters. But it’s so much more than yet another compilation album... listen and soak it up for yourself.
