The William Murphy Project - All Day...

Created To Worship showcases Murphy doing what he loves best – worship. Created To Worship and I Know Why I’m Here are awesome together. They flow seamlessly into the hit Praise Is What I Do. The new rendition is a really nice one. Be prepared to enter the Holy of Holies with this song. He follows Praise Is What I Do with Crazy Praise, a hip-hop song (complete with rap) about giving God radical praise. High praise is also evident on the cut Awesome.

Murphy also covers the well-known praise song Let It Rise. He mellows the song out a bit while still leaving it a festive one. One Pure and Holy Passion is another incredible tune filled with worship. So is Ignite My Fire. The song beckons the worshipper into a deeper, closer desire for God.

Murphy changes from live to studio on the last few tracks. Changes, a laid-back urban track, talks about how we need to go through changes - to be changed. The guitar-driven, neo-soul flavored I Don’t Know Why paves the way for the last track, the title tune All Day. The title track, featuring Warryn “Baby Dub” Campbell, is an infectious danceable groove about “walking around all day with You in my soul”. The song is a catchy one; it’s not surprising considering Campbell is the genius behind Mary Mary’s (and many, many others) hits.

All Day… is not the type of CD you put in and let play while you’re cooking dinner. If you do, you’ll find your face in the kitchen floor. The majority of this project is true worship. God has truly given William Murphy the gift of helping others enter the throne room of God. This is probably one of the best worship projects I’ve ever listened to. Too bad my keyboard couldn’t reach the floor; this review would have been easier to do down there. Awesome praise and worship project!
