This past year has featured some incredible new worship albums and songs. I have had the privilege to worship along with dozens of new worship albums this year, and this has been one of the best years in recent memory to "sing to the Lord a new song" (Psalm 96:1) with amazing offerings by all of these artists. As a believer, one of my daily devotionals is to spend time worshiping my Lord and Savior Jesus by singing Him worship songs in adoration of His majesty and love. These are my top 10 worship albums of 2019. I’d love to know your favorite worship album and which worship songs have resonated in your hearts this past year. God bless.
