Smith, Mitch Wong, Naomi Raine, Pat Barrett, Paul Baloche and Tim Hughes. Together, these artists have received 48 GRAMMY Awards (142 nominations) and 183 Dove Awards.
Executive produced by four-time GRAMMY® and 45-time Dove Awards-winner Michael W. Smith and Dove Award-winning, RIAA Gold®-selling Australian worship pioneer Darlene Zschech, the album was recorded and filmed in-the-round at World Wide Stages (Spring Hill, TN) with all the artists together in the same room.
One of the House of Worship songs being revealed today is "Breathe," featuring multiple GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning recording artists Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson and Kari Jobe. Written by Marie Barnett and first released by Vineyard Music in 1996, the song was nominated as "Song of the Year" during the 2003 Dove Awards for Michael W. Smith's live version. It was also named ASCAP's most recorded Christian "Song of the Year" in 2002. Over the years, dozens of artists have recorded the song, including Elevation Worship, Passion, Rebecca St. James and UPPERROOM.
"I love this song," shares Jenn Johnson. "For me, this song takes the chord of being in love with someone, and you just don't want to be without them. I can't imagine going about my day without the friendship of God and the voice of the Lord. This is my daily bread: the Word of God and the voice of God in my daily life.
"Fall in love with Jesus, live pure and wholehearted before God and love his people," encourages Jenn. "Sometimes a big part of that is forgiving people and letting nothing corrode your heart. Stay soft and tender and forgive so that you can really love people, saved or unsaved, to lead them to Jesus."
"Cody [husband and recording artist Cody Carnes] and I have been just hungering for more of the presence of God in our home," adds Jobe as she reflects on the inspiration of this song in her own life. "And we've made some pretty beautiful changes. Like we had a TV in our living room and we decided to pull it down and put an upright piano in its place because we wanted to communicate to our boys that the presence of God was going to be more important than any entertainment or thing that would try to catch their attention.
"It just feels so settling to let the Word of God be so much more powerful than all the things we experience in this age," continues Jobe, calling attention to how social media and other things are a distraction for what is truly important. "We want the center of our house to be the Lord Jesus."
Along with "Breathe," other featured songs on House of Worship include "Agnus Dei" led by iconic artist Michael W. Smith joined by GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and Elevation Worship founding member Chris Brown; "I Want To Sing Of Your Love Forever" featuring songwriter, producer and modern worship pioneer Martin Smith and Gold-certified singer, songwriter and worship leader Josh Baldwin; "Here I Am To Worship" with original writer and Dove Award-winning Tim Hughes and four-time GRAMMY®-nominated Cody Carnes; and lead single "Shout To The Lord," a duet by original writer Zschech and 17-time GRAMMY® Award-winning gospel icon CeCe Winans.
