Worship Forever (2021)

Updated: Oct 2, 2023



Worship Forever is a live worship album by Christian singer - songwriter Michael W. Smith, released on September 10, 2021 by Rocketown Records/The Fuel Music. Produced by Smith and Kyle Lee.


Worship Forever was released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. soil and is also the date in which his original album Worship was released. It was recorded live on July 12, 2021 at Allen Arena in

Nashville Tennessee. It was also accompanied by a live concert on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network).


Worship Forever has the same identical track listing as the original release but with two additional tracks: the medley of "Surrounded" and "Waymaker" and a studio bonus track "Sing Again." The live album features guest appearances by fellow CCM artist and friend Amy Grant, Matt Redman and Tauren Wells. Worship Forever peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. In 2023, an Extended Edition of Worship Forever was released featuring a short live extra instrumental track "The Blessing" and 13 instrumental tracks in order of the original Worship (2001) album.
