You're Worthy of My Praise
Various Artist
Maranatha! Music

Even before I put this CD in the player I was excited about it. One name fired me up; that being Cindy Morgan. Of course there was more to discover once I got the CD spinning.

Tammy Trent opens up on the title track with a nice buoyant tone. From there, just about every track has that hit, radio-friendly feel. Several of the originals should also be popular within the church as modern worship continues to draw people into contemporary services across the nation.

As I mentioned previously I was hyped to hear from Cindy Morgan again, and she fulfills my expectations with an emotional original "Nothing Changes You." Sarah Kelly also fairs well with another "You're Worthy" original called "Stand Up For Jesus." Then the women continue to dominate as Shirley Bunnell softens the heart with "To Please You."

The deck is stacked with high-profile worship artists and radio/church friendly compositions. However with nine new praise songs it's not by any means an ordinary praise compilation.
