Filmed and recorded in front of 12,000 people in a Colombian auditorium, “My Soul
Sings” takes you on a musical journey with Delirious?. The collection includes favorites
such as the anthemic “History Maker”, “Deeper” and “Majesty” alongside offerings from
the last album “Kingdom of Comfort” including "My Soul Sings", "Love Will Find A
Way" and "God Is Smiling". With Delirious? taking a break at the end of 2009 this is the
last live project from one of the pioneers of the modern worship movement. Since 1997’
s “Cutting Edge” I have greatly enjoyed the Brit-Rock music and lyrical worshipfulness
of Delirious?. “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever”, “My Glorious”, and “Majesty”
have become staples in church services, and as a long-time fan of fellow British rockers
U2, Coldplay, Radiohead and worship leader Matt Redman, I have eagerly anticipated
every album by Delirious?.
“My Soul Sings” begins with the worship classic “Rain Down” and the energy and
enthusiasm of the crowd is infectious. I knew when I started singing and clapping along
with the live recording that I was in for a real treat. The next 65 minutes and 13 songs
kept me hooked with Martin Smith’s vocals, Stu G’s guitar playing and the amazing
audience participation. This is what a live recording is all about. I also enjoy “Now Is
The Time: Live At Willow Creek” and “Accesse:D” and this album is a perfect
complement to those amazing recordings.
The album beautifully builds to a 9 minute version of the classic “History Maker”.
During the song Martin explains the application of what it means to live out the gospel:
“to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, what I’m
interested in seeing you do is share your food and feed the hungry…”. The Spanish
translation of Martin’s dialog is wonderful. One of my favorite songs of the decade is
“Majesty”. Martin sings the chorus in Spanish: “Majestad, Majestad”. This is now my
favorite version of “Majesty”. This amazing collection ends with the worship song “My
Soul Sings” and has all 12,000 people singing “my soul sings” in English and Spanish.
Closing Thoughts:
This is an amazing collection of songs from one of the greatest bands in Christian
music. If you like Brit-Rock and praise and worship live albums, then you can’t go
wrong with “My Soul Sings”.
