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.

New links added

Hi, if you've noticed, there are two new links that are added to the panel on the right.

One of them is the webby of the esteemed Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. Some representatives and teachers from CICW were in Singapore over the last weekend to participate, teach and share at the Worship Symposium organised by Methodist School of Music. The site offers resources and articles on worship related topics.

The other is the RUF Hymnbook online resources that I found on the world wide web. It's in a PDF format, and chords are available as well. There are also some interesting articles and resources regarding worship.
