Song #1 - I Call You to Praise - A great call to worship; a mix of orchestral and band that draws me into worship right away.Song #2 - Symphony of Praise - Another great worship song that talks about the glories of nature in relation to music and worship. Written by one of the best, Michael W. Smith.
Song #3 -Mourning into Dancing - in my more conservative days I always struggled with the style of this song, until one day, when the message of this song pierced through some tremendous pain I was experiencing (God brought the lyrics of this song to me in the shower...) and helped turn some tremendous mourning into dancing in my soul. Now I cannot hear this song without remembering that important time in my life.
Song #4 - The Mission - Probably one of the most significant songs that helped me gain perspective on a proper walk with Christ. Also, this song dramatically affected my Dad in ways I would have to leave for him to share.
Song #5 - The Refiner's Fire - The first and only song I have every song as a church solo. A solo that was shared with my girlfriend at the time who is now my wife of 16 years.
Song #6 - Children are a Treasure From the Lord - A nice, fun song, but no life shattering moments from it for me yet. I do love the slight laugh at the line about being home in bed by eight. (Maybe I need to introduce this song to my 14 and 12 year old.) Hmm.... possilby my best moments with this song are still to come...
Song #7 - Guard Your Heart - Another song that has spoken deeply to me. At a time where Christian leaders were "falling" left and right, this song served as a great reminder to me to continue on and focus on what is truly important - my heart.
Song #8 - Embrace the Cross - Another deep song with a tremendous message and a Steve Green Duet with himself. Overflowing with the gospel and a deep call to engage in the life that God has for us. No frills or fru-fru here.
Song #9 - The Victor - Ok, maybe not one of my favorite songs, not a bad song, but nothing that stands out for me here.
Song #10 - The Anthem - Ok, I love the electric piano, a strong reference to nature again and a great way to wrap up the CD.

Symphony of Praise was my favorite song by him for a long while. Love this album.
