Tommy Walker is a familiar name in worship music, having written over 200 songs, many of which have been performed by worship artists such as Paul Baloche, Israel Houghton, and Don Moen. His newest studio album, Living in the Wonder, explores God's greatness and promotes worship through a variety of musical styles.
"At the heart of Living In The Wonder is a desire to inspire a child-like wonder and renewed reverence for God," Walker says. "I believe one of the most beautiful attributes at the root of a worshiper’s heart is to enjoy everything we can and cannot fathom about God, and to bask in that comfort." Based on Psalm 100, "Make a Joyful Noise" is an upbeat call to worship, sure to get people clapping and praising God for His mercies and goodness. The title track, "Living in the Wonder" captures the wonder of who God is and all that He's done and how we respond to that in our own lives, through our worship and obedience to Him. "The Fear of the Lord" is a powerful anthem taken from Psalm 111:10, which opens with "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Rich and moving, the song builds excitingly as it declares, "To Him belongs eternal praise. Glorious and righteous are His works, His ways. To Him belongs all reverent praise. Faithful and just are His works, His ways." Walker concludes, "While so many songs on this album reflect different aspects of our worship, I am praying above all that God will share the secrets of His covenant to many as we trust and worship Him for the greatness of who He is."
