Group
members Sue Harris and Kristen Harris Johnson penned six of the twelve songs on
this recording. Other songs include one cover song, originally recorded in 2001
by the then popular Contemporary Christian group FFH, as well as five songs
written by some of the most respected writers in Christian music today. The title
for the project was taken from a song written by Chris Allman, I Was Created to Worship the Lord, which
happens to be the group’s first radio single from the project. That song, being
distributed through Radioactive Airplay, scored the number 1 spot on the Radio Music Week Top 100 Southern Gospel
Music Chart in it’s first week. Charles Brady, President and Founder of Caraway
Media Group, the parent company of Radioactive Airplay says, “Radio loves the
Harris Family and this newest Harris Family project is already encouraging
radio listeners around the world. Incredible songwriting, wonderful musical
arrangements and beautiful family harmony all come together with a passion for
worship that really sets this project apart!”
In
addition to writing and selecting songs with a solid lyrical content, this group
is careful to make sure the style and arrangements of their songs are fresh and
modern. “We have learned the importance of connecting with our audience when we
are in a church service or concert event,” states Sue Harris of the group. “We
do not want to simply perform. We want to engage our audience to worship with
us. We want to sing songs that relate to them and reach them right where they
are in life. God has placed us in the middle of a very diverse group of people.
Not only do we sing in small churches where most everyone is already a
Christian, but we also do concerts and lead worship in large churches and
prisons.” Roger Harris adds, “I believe this project is our best mix of songs
to date. These songs have ministered to me personally, and I hope they will
minister to all ages young, old and in between.” Kristen Harris Johnson concludes,
“The diversity of the songs on this project definitely match the diversity of
our audience, yet they all share the same theme: Worship! Jesus Christ is truly
the name above every name, and we hope these songs reflect that truth and bring
glory to Him alone.”
