Second album by Michael W Smith to be released in February

IN A surprise announcement, CCM star Michael W Smith has said he will be releasing a live worship album, 'Surrounded', on 23rd February, only a week after his eagerly awaited studio project 'A Million Lights' is released. Speaking about 'Surrounded' Smith said, "The thought of doing another live worship project has been something I have processed for a while now. The question I have asked myself most is not so much what I want to do but what do I need to do. What do WE need to do as his Church and as his children? What expression of worship does he desire from us. . . Have we missed something? The reality is, it is not the style of our expression he is concerned with, it is the heart. He wants our honesty. He wants our vulnerability. He wants us to come to him as we are not as we want to be. I feel God moving through his Church and he is calling us together. . . to be one voice and one heart, one bride, every nation, every tribe and every tongue, every social class, every denomination. Let's get together and rejoice in what he has done, what he's doing, and what he is yet to do!"
