He says songs of faith, like those on Worship Forever can connect with people and make a difference, when words cannot. Even after more than 35 years in the business, he’s constantly creating, always moving forward, and consistently working to share this music with new audiences. I’m glad they show the human side because that’s part of life.”Īs he celebrates the new album and the upcoming film, Smith is also getting ready to hit the road for his fall tour. It talks about the love of God, but in the midst of all of that we’re just trying to figure it out and sometimes we make mistakes. There’s been a lot of drama on some level throughout these past five or six decades and the film shows the struggle. And what I love about the film is it has some rawness to it. I mean, we’ve read books about it, people have done some history on Christian music, but the whole story has never been told, especially on the big screen. “First and foremost, this story has never really been told. He’s been watching it all come together through edits and revisions, and is excited about its October 1 st release. He was approached by the Erwin Brothers (Filmmakers Jon and Andrew Erwin, the two men also behind the film I Can Only Imagine), and asked if he’d join the project as Executive Producer.
So, I hope this record can maybe just kind of pull us together and help us heal.”Īlong with his work on Worship Forever, Smith has been busy as with an upcoming film called The Jesus Music that documents the history of Christian music. Everybody is fighting and that’s not the way we’re supposed to do life.
“I think we have more in common than not and we’ve let things divide us. “In the midst of not only heartache, but this pandemic, the world, Afghanistan, then there’s earthquakes, floods, and Hurricane Ida, it’s a little overwhelming,” he says. Today, when Americans are so divided, he hopes this music can help heal again. The timing of Worship Forever, which comes exactly two decades after the original album seemed to help soothe a hurting nation, is not lost on Smith.
When you combine a worship experience with a big symphony orchestra and those arrangements, it’s a beautiful thing!”
“When you take songs like ‘Heart of Worship,’ or ‘Draw Me Closer,’ or ‘Above All,’ and you’ve got this full orchestra at your back, I mean the hair is standing up on your neck. And not only did it come off great in terms of audio-wise, but we also filmed it and it turned out extraordinary.”Īnd he thinks people will be pleasantly surprised to hear those familiar songs with all of those different instruments added to the mix. “Of all the things that could have gone wrong, you’ve got one shot with a lot of moving parts, a lot of people on stage, very little rehearsal time, and it was just a beautiful evening. gbu bro.Amy Grant at the live recording of "Worship Forever" in Nashville, Tennessee.
