This is the third and latest in the 'Here I Am To Worship' series and this songbook features 15 worship songs presented in both sheet music and chord chart format to accompany the CD release of the same name. In addition, there are overhead masters for all songs to allow for congregational use. What makes this collection stand out from other releases in the worship community is the newness and groundbreaking nature of these songs. The vast majority have been published within the last two years and, as a result, will be unfamiliar to most church worship groups. This is therefore an ideal opportunity for worship leaders and groups to introduce new material to their churches. Featured here are songs from some of the top songwriters in the Worship Together stable ranging from Tim Hughes' "Whole World In His Hands" and "Beautiful One" to the likes of Vicky Beeching's "Above All Else". Elsewhere, CCM heavyweights such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Rebecca St James and Audio Adrenaline check in with "Much Of You", "Lest I Forget" and "King" respectively. Perhaps the most familiar song here is Matt Redman's "Once Again". An excellent resource for any worship group seeking to keep their material and the overall worship experience fresh.
