Since its debut in 2000, the Songs 4 Worship series has sold more than nine million units. On this recording the series unites country music stars with some of today's best worship songs.

This is an amazing worship cd. My husband had me get it for his boss who is not a Christian for Christmas, he kept saying that he would love to have it too. So I got one for him. He loves it. We are not normally country style music fans but this is wonderful. They have done a great job glorifying the Lord with this album. It is awesome. We highly recommend it.

This is an absolutely amazing CD. They put the heart of country into the depths of praise and combine them in an enjoyable fashion. Well done to all the artists featured on this CD.
