Fred Hammond – Free To Worship

Free to Worship (w/ DVD, bonus track)


Zomba recording artist and gospel music icon, Fred Hammond stirs it up again with his latest album
entitled “Free to Worship”. 2006. Every once in a while an album or a song crosses your path that really
ministers to you. Not on a superficial level; not in a ‘shoutin’ foot stompin’ way; but on a level that makes
you say simply, Thank You Lord, Thank You!! And this album is one of them!
 
Cover to cover Fred shows what he does best; give Praise and Worship to the Lord. He records not for the sake of entertainment, but for the soul. For John 4: 24 says ‘that those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth’.

The title says it all; “Free to Worship”. From track #1 he take you there; right to the throne of grace.
Every song, a message – every song, a ministry. No one track is better that the other, but some standouts
are tracks 4,5,7,&11. “This Is The Day”; I can remember singing this song as a youngster and havin’ a
blast!!! “More of You”; Fred slows it down and you think you just stepped into a worship service.
“Keep On Praisin'” says it all. “Thank You(I Won’t Complain)”; What a unique blend of a new song with an old classic. Gotta hear it!

Once again, there is no one track that is better than another. So don’t be surprised that you can’t
put it down. So let the music minister to you in its own way just it has for me!

Way to go Fred!
