You Are My World

It's a big world with lots of praise and worship CD's out there, including quite a few Hillsongs albums. I don't normally buy the non-SHOUT TO THE LORD CD's that they put out. There will be some good songs on them, but also some that I just don't care for (unlike the SHOUT TO THE LORD duo, which are essentially "greatest hits" services).
