I'm writing primarily because of one of the other reviews posted which was less than favorable. Certainly different people will like different types of music but I absolutely love this CD set. I'm 33 and enjoy contemporary Christian music. My 36-year-old brother is at Wal-Mart right now trying to find this CD because he heard me playing it on my computer. Amazon offers sound-bytes. Listen to them and make your own determination. My fav is Vicky Beeching's "Yesterday, Today and Forever" followed by the first three tracks on CD1.

This is the best CD I have bought in at least five years. And it's at Target for $10 right now!!! Double CD for $10!!
Another reviewer really slammed this CD and gave a list of CDs to buy instead. Funny thing, I own all of the CDs he listed. They are great CDs, but this album is like the icing on the cake. This is the only CD I own that I don't skip any tracks "to get to the good ones". i am so blessed by this CD. Ask for it for Christmas or your birthday!!!

I'm 32 years old, and I have four kids. This 2-CD set has been a blessing for all of us. We attend a Vineyard church, and a lot of the music is familiar to us because of that. But if you're new to worship music, this is a great selection.

I have read that many of these songs are available on other compilations and that there are few new tracks. In my opinion, the songs chosen for this set and the order even is perfect. Again, check the list of tracks before you buy it--in case you get duplicates--but it's a wonderful heart-lifting set to get immersed in the music deidicated to God.

I am an avid Christian music collector and bought this collection when it first came out. Yes, it does have a fair number of re-releases but it also does include otherwise unavailable live versions of "Beautiful One" by Tim Hughes and "Holy is the Lord" by Chris Tomlin which subsequently appeared on their next studio releases in the Fall of 2004. The reason I even read the reviews of a collection I own is that Here I Am To Worship Vol. 2 is scheduled to be released on 1/25/05 and I was looking up which tracks would be included. Overall, if you are looking to build a Christian worship music collection, this is a worthwhile choice along with the I Could Sing of Your Love Forever, WoW Worship and Passion collections.

My newly christian friend picked this up for pretty cheap and it has turned out to be an inspiration. Although all the songs are not by the "normal" artists, it is still powerful to hear these songs by ANY artist! This is truly a very complete worship collection, our worship team actually does a good number of the songs on the cd.

I'd say about 85 % of the tracks are enjoyable, some of the "new" ones are not that great. There is NO way to resist the urge to lift your voice in praise when you hear soars with lyrics like "Beautiful one, I love you", "Crucified! Laid behind the stone, you lived to die, rejected and alone. Like a rose, trampled on the ground. You took the fall and thought of me, above all!", or "You set my feet to dancing, you set my heart a fire, in the presence of a thousand kings you are my one desire."

No matter the artist, this CD is pure and honest praise at it's greatest. A very complete compelation that which will almost certainly have you worshiping in no time.

We are beginning to sing contemporary music as a Sending Song each Sunday. Most in our congregation seem to enjoy this music. Listening to it as often as I can helps me learn it so I can sing along. This is a great CD.

I bought this cd for my nephews who are 10, 8 and 2. I gave it to them for Christmas and they all loved it. Each child found a particular song that they really liked and we had to take turns listening to it over and over. Even now, in June, they are still playing the cd. As an added bonus, this will help them build their relationship with The Lord. What could be better than that?
