This album contains songs that are familiar to most churchgoers. However, the way that they are performed may be different than the way they are usually heard. They are acoustic guitar based, and mix in light percussion and electric piano. There are only a few voices on each song and they blend well. You'll be singing along to each song the minute you hear them. It's a very relaxing worship experience that you'll keep coming back to again and again.

The selection is large and familiar, the arrangements are attractive, and the vocal ensemble is first-rate...the more's the pity, then, that these beautiful songs are given such abbreviated, rushed treatments. Literally, these are one- to two-minute "snippets," performed about 1/3 faster than you've ever heard them before. This CD seems designed as an "acoustic sampler" album (and it makes a good one), rather than a tool to assist people in entering into actual worship.

These worship songs with a true blend of acoustics give you a rich experience of praising God. The tunes stick to your mind and on your lips.

This album is great because it is not over produced. I love the simplicity of the acoustic style worship. If you like this album you will also like "More Rain - Acoustic Worship" it a podcast of acoustic worship.[...]

Thanks again for this product.

This is a collection of contemporary praise music. These are not the original cuts recorded by the original artists. The songs are also very simple. It's not acoustic by the way, but that's not important. Nuthin' fancy. The songs are only about two minutes long with many less than two minutes. Many of the songs include the choruses only.

I got it so that I could learn to play the songs. I downloaded the chord progressions off the internet, and I learned the chords. Some of the songs seem a little bit faster paced than the original so if you can play along with this CD, then you are certainly ready for the church band.

For my purposes, this CD is a very useful tool.

If it were 1993, this would be an absolutely fantastic worship album. However, my experience in listening to this album was more nostalgic than worshipful. Quite frankly, many of the songs, especially in the style of this album, are extremely dated.

However, there are clearly some songs that will become part of the long-term musical lexicon of the church, such as "Great is the Lord," "Awesome God," and "Thy Word."

To be truthful, I had a lot of fun singing along with this album. These songs harken back to a previous generation of ground-breaking worship music. While there is an element of cheesy synthesizer sound to some of the songs, it's still music and lyrics that glorify and praise the Lord. Though I'd prefer some classic hymns of the faith or some fresher contemporary worship music, there is still a place to sing along with an album like this.

I have listened to Acoustic Worship again and again, and honestly, I like the selections and worship team assembled better than version 2-4 of the same series. There's something about an original where sometimes they get it right, and this is one of those times.
There's a wonderful balance of voices, tempos, and songs that are popular and familiar but not overly trendy. These are the songs you can sing to the Lord with heartfelt praise and lose yourself in the process. It's more than a "listening CD." It is clearly designed to encourage participation in praise much like a worship team in a church is not a concert to listen to but praise leader to encourage others to lift their voices as well.
Well done; well done!

This cd has alot of songs that are all praise songs to God. There is a good variety of fast and slow songs all with a variety of beats and singers. This cd is fun to sing along and dance with. A great cd for young people. It puts you in a positive and participative mode.
