Recorded live on June 20 in Houston, TX with more than 12,000 worshippers 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.

A New Hallalujah by Michael W. Smith| Posted October 28, 2008
We are all given talents from God. Michael's singing ability definately came from God. Michael could sing "Old McDonald had a Farm" and it would sould fantastic, probably the best you had ever heard. Michael can sing any genre of music and it would sound good. Michael W. Smith is one of my favorite christian singing artists. With regards to A New Hallalujah, it is very good; good lyrics, good tempo, good music, lyrics that you can understand, but this is not my favorite Michael W. Smith album.

WOW!
Being a live worship album, sometimes you just don't know what you're going to get. This one just hits the mark, a real bullseye!
I'm listening to this, and I felt like I wasn't just listening to good music, but I was in worship. I was moved, touched. This album will leave you motivated about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! Amen!

I am not new to Michael W. Smith's Music... but I am fairly new to liking it however. Ever since his Christmas album released last year, I realised his true artisitc genius. Being an indifferent fan to other recent projects like "Healing Rain", and the "Worship" series, I was immediatley catapulted into fan-land when the INTRO started on this new offering "A New Hallelujah". This epic and beautiful album is sure to be the crowning acheivment in his worship franchise.
From the intense drum beats on the opening track "Prepare Ye The Way", to the touching duet "Help Is On The Way", with Israel Houghton, you will be held captive by, should be instant classics like, "A New Hallelujah" and the afore mentioned song "Prepare Ye The Way", as well as modern classics "Mighty To Save", "Shout Unto God", and "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)", and classic classics like, "I Surrender All".
Lyrically "Smitty" is in prime form, keeping most songs simple but insightful. "When I Think Of You" is a fantastic exploration of how we relate to God and how He relates back to us. "Help Is On The Way" is an emotional and touching song that is sure to encourage you at all times.
Its gonna be tough for Smitty to beat himself at his own game... but if he keeps up his good work and continues to rely on God for inspiration, I will highly anticipate his next album!
