This CD was originally released in 1998.  The song ‘In My Arms Again’ was a song written for the Titanic.  Originally there were 26 songs written and completed for this album but eventually 12 were chosen, with many of the original 26 that didn’t make it on this album finding themselves a spot in ‘This Is Your Time’, which is the second CD in this compilation.  ‘Song For Rich’ is a beautiful instrumental tribute to Rich Mullins who in 1997 died in a car accident.

  13. This Is Your Time

This album was released in 1999.  All the songs on this album, except for ‘This Is Your Time’, were previously recorded for ‘Live the Life’.  ‘This Is Your Time’ was inspired by Cassie Bernall who was one of the students that was killed in the Columbine High School shooting spree.  She is believed to have been shot after answering ‘yes’ to her faith in Jesus.  It is a very moving song.

  1. Be warned! MICHAEL W SMITH is not all that he appears to be. Some of his tracks carry demonic messages and he is being scrutinized very closely by re-born again Christians who have a calling from God to expose demonic practices amongst some mainstream musicians even those professing to be Christians them selves. Again you have been warned!

  2. Could it be possible for someone who sings such beautiful worship songs to be a messenger of the devil? Well, I suppose we had better be alert for these things …….
