If you've recently been in one of those meetings where the worship has just taken off and the congregation felt like they'd been given a backstage pass to the Throne room, it's quite likely you were singing Darlene Zschech's "Shout To The Lord". It's one of those exceptionally anointed songs that comes along once in a while. Darlene is worship pastor at Hills Christian Life Centre in Australia, which has been the source of a lot of vibrant worship music over the past couple of years. Not surprisingly, this is the centerpiece of this compilation of 12 songs from nine of the Hillsongs worship team. Darlene is credited with four titles on this album commencing with "I Will Run To You", a seven-minute crescendo and just as you are standing breathless, Dave Willersdorf's beautiful, plaintive "Let Your Presence Fall" takes you to the next level. And so it goes on. Not only a resource for worship leaders but a great aid to your personal worship time. Gets better with each play.
