This set reminds me of how they had the Lion King soundtrack years ago, They have two separate cds. One with the songs shown on this website, and for others craving more, there is another one at sites such as Family Christian that have the following songs

1. Awesome God
2. Still Alive
3. Please Answer
4. You Are Good
5. The Closer I Get To You - Roberta Flack
6. Be Alright
7. When Seasons Change
8. All Things Are Working - Fred Hammond
9. Glorious - Martha Munizzi
10. Victory - Yolanda Adams
11. Now Behold The Lamb

If you are looking for these cd's I suggest you look up the songs and decide if it has what you want on it prior to purchasing it since they look exact on the case from their photos on both websites. Just a heads up for fans of the movie.

Better yet, get both and just have that much extra to listen to, they are both awesome cds! About to order another pair for my in laws.

Although the film was very heartstring tugging and spiritually moving, I was disappointed that the soundtrack didn't include Tamyra Gray's "Seasons Change". Instead there are substitutes for that as well as "Peace Like a River". A TRUE soundtrack wouldn't make non-appearing track substitutes in the place of tracks that would be highly expected!

I bought the CD last night and was sad that I didn't find tracks I was expecting-- instead the substitutes leave you wondering why on earth they replaced what should have been on this CD! Oh well! I guess I better look more carefully next time! It's this kind of deception, however, that leaves a person a little more skeptical/cynical about supporting projects like this in the future without carefully scrutinizing the package contents! Never again will I take for granted that a film soundtrack WILL include (in this case it didn't) all of the music represented in the movie! Yolanda Adams "Victory" and Walker's "I Need You To Survive" tops off this "alternative" soundtrack and is well-balanced with the other song offerings; however, still I'm left with the feeling that the producers of this album didn't have The Gospel foremost in mind when they released this soundtrack, truth be told!

I've been away from the church for a long time. This movie--and this soundtrack--helped pull me back. What a delightful way to introduce a newcomer or a newly returned person to the faith. What a wonderful taste of the best Gospel artists around---this is how you spread the word, folks!

Amen!

I saw the movie and, although, the plot and the cinematography were less inspiring, the music was great! I searched all over for the soundtrack since the day I saw the movie - you would have thought it didn't exist. But, then I looked on Amazon - and here it is - thanks Amazon! I know that most of the music is from prior released albums. So what, at least I have some great music all on one CD. I can't wait for it to arrive.

I was so upset when I heard the soundtrack and the two songs that I wanted most weren't even on the soundtrack. "Peace Like A River" and "Seasons Change" those are like the best two songs throughout the movie.

Trust your not going to find those two songs anywhere on the internet either, at least not the movie versions (the orginal versions are widely avaiable).

For anyone who loves gospel music this album is for you as it features several of the greats in the field . I really loved the performance by Tamyra Gray on this cd as she has such a warm and soulful voice . I am looking foward to seeing her and the rest of the cast in this great film on October 7th.

Every song is excellent!! Kudos to new gospel recordings entry Tamyra Gray. I have listened to 'Now Behold the Lamb' repeatedly and have been brought to tears by it's beauty each time.

I ought to give this 5 stars just for "You Are Good." But as has been pointed out, the CD doesn't include "Seasons Change" and "Peace Like a River," and instead includes music that wasn't in the movie ("Change is Gonna Come"); Mom Winan's cameo isn't in here either, and that was a good song. This CD includes a couple of versions of some music different from the version used in the movie. I really wish the CD had included all the main music from the film. Still, there's some great music here. I noticed a few people may have thought it was a little too urban. For something a bit more traditional, you could get the 1995 Grammy award winning gospel choir CD "One Voice" by Gladys Knight's choir, Saints Unified Voices. Me, I have both, and they're my two best gospel CDs.

this is definitely an awesome and uplifting soundtrack! true we may have the original versions of these songs, but such a compilation of such great artists and songs could in no way display a low budget project. we should appreciate the efforts alone of such great talent to come together to make this possible. if you love gospel music, you definitely have to have this one!

My whole family loves this CD....The uplifting music matches the message and will put even the biggest grouch in a great mood!!
