Mighty to Save - The mellow version

Was introduced this song at the Passion Conference in Malaysia some time in the middle of 2008. When the band started playing the intro for this song, the crowd went crazy. Only HS and I didn't seem to know why. But, we learnt it on the spot, and it's a beautiful song.

I thought it was a Passion/ Chris Tomlin song. But only found out later that it's a Hillsong song.

The original version by Ben Fielding is quite rock...as in alot of electric guitar. But, it's very energetic and mighty.

However, I don't think it would be that congregation friendly, also, very stressed on the musicians to be playing 16-beats. So, I search high and low for a mellow version.

Found this by this guy Jeff Johnson. I don't really like the way he tune the song....but I like the acoustic music, and his voice is pretty good. Click Here to View/ Listen.

I think it may become a Song of the Year type of song. Everyone's singing it. Micheal W Smith has included it in his latest album - A New Hallelujah. Don Moen has also included it in his album - I believe there is more . It's big!

Modern Worship turns 10

Modern Worship Turns 10
A list of the ten most influential modern worship albums from the last decade, offering new songs that changed the way we worshipped the Lord through music.
By Andree Farias

Hard to believe that it's already been a decade since modern worship began to revolutionize the way the church used music to glorify God (not to mention transforming the way the Christian music industry approached publishing). Modern worship doesn't have an official anniversary—songs like "Shout to the Lord" and "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" were already staples in the church, and labels like Vineyard, Maranatha, and Integrity had been trying to introduce modern worship for years. But several best-selling milestones all happened to release around the same time, paving the way for a phenomenon that still continues ten years later. Below are 10 albums (presented in approximate chronological order) that remain essential to any modern worship library.
