Something powerful happens when we lift our voices in worship. When we lift our hearts to the Lord in worship, things change, miracles take place, healing comes, our hearts are set free, bondage is broken. The Bible says that God inhabits our praise, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. That's an amazing thing. And It's incredibly reassuring to know that the Lord, in all of His fullness, dwells in our praise to Him.
In this feature, we'll highlight a powerful selection of contemporary worship anthems that move us to lift our voices to the Lord in worship with adoration and praise. These songs include a number of contemporary Praise & Worship, SATB, and 3-part anthems arranged by Jim Hammerly, Jonathan Allen, Jeff Lippencott, Regi Stone and more! Take a few minutes to listen to these songs and consider adding them to your contemporary and blended worship services.
