A New Hallelujah

Recorded live on June 20 in Houston, TX with more than 12,000 worshipers in attendance, artist, composer, author, and worship leader Michael W. Smith recorded his third, highly-anticipated worship album, A New Hallelujah.

“Since my last world tour a few years ago, I’ve been looking forward to recording a live worship project that reflected something more global than I’ve ever done before; a collection of songs and voices to translate what I experienced that year. I had hoped for an evening of worship that reflected the corners of our nation, and the world; I think we captured that. My great friend Israel Houghton, the world renowned African Children’s Choir, an incredible young worship leader named Coalo Zamorano, and a 250-voice choir elevated the songs to amazing moments of praise and worship. It was more than I could have hoped for,” shares Smith.

With several new songs that Michael wrote especially for this project, as well as familiar ones such as "Mighty to Save" and "I Surrender All", A New Hallelujah offers a uniquely moving worship experience for both fans of his highly-successful Worship brand, as well as those who are just discovering his music for the first time.

Release Date: October 28, 2008
