Leading worship is nothing new to Michael. His songs "Great is the Lord" and "Thy Word" are included in most hymnals, and the Smitty-penned "Agnus Dei" is popular in most modern worship circles. Michael describes how he chose the songs by saying, "It's always been my goal, if I did the record, to pick the twelve songs that just slay you." And that's what he did. From "Let It Rain" to "Heart Of Worship" Michael leads with a sense of humility, shedding all pride.

"This is not about me," says Michael. "We did this to worship God."

The album features a new worship song written by Michael as well as two studio cuts.
