Michael W. Smith's latest project, Decades of Worship, brings together his most popular worship songs.

Having released the acclaimed instrumental project, Glory (21st November 2011), celebrated artist, songwriter, composer, instrumentalist, performer, author and producer, Michael W. Smith delivers his latest musical offering, Decades of Worship on 17th January 2011. Smith, a mainstay with a 29-year career, brings together the best of his beloved worship hymns on this, his 24th project.

Since his entrance onto the music scene in the early 80s, Smith has been a worship leader, writer and has recorded some of the church’s most popular worship anthems including ‘Great Is The Lord’, ‘Agnus Dei’, ‘A New Hallelujah’ and ‘Healing Rain’ to name a few. These songs were released on three worship albums since 2001, including Worship, Worship Again, A New Hallelujah, and Healing Rain, which have collectively sold more than 3.7 million copies.

“As long as I can remember, I have felt called to lead worship. Each song on this collection is a reflection of my heart to see people draw closer to God. I pray that these songs move people to encounter God in a new and deeper way,” shares Smith.

Decades of Worship is available now from Authentic Media.
