Album Of The Day: Here I Am To Worship by Tim Hughes

Album Art of Tim Hughes's Here I Am To Worship album - A young man with short brown hair and a long-sleeve grey turtleneck has an acoustic guitar on his right hip with the neck facing down, and he's smiling and looking down to the right of the frame. The background is brown mottled texture with some white paint thrown on top of it, and two vertical brown lines printed above that. The brown lines stop at the start of the album title, printed a bit above center in black block test, and below it the artist's name in a slightly larger brown.

Released 24 years ago this month, this is the first studio album from UK worship leader and songwriter Tim Hughes. He does sound a bit like Matt Redman, who was a mentor of his and writes very similar songs, but there is still some uniqueness to his music and he definitely has a heart that longs to praise God. Songs like "Maker Of All Things" and "Jesus, You Alone" were pretty well-known songs written and performed by Hughes here. The one song that he is most known for is the title track, "Here I Am To Worship", which has been sung at many churches in the last 25 years and has been recorded by dozens of Christian artists, and it definitely is a highlight of this album. But after listening to this album today, the album is full of solid songs of praise and worship like "May The Words Of My Mouth", "Day After Day" and "The Eyes Of My Heart". It sounds beautiful thanks to a great team of musicians and producers in both the UK and in Nashville.
