"Album Review: Amazing God - Marcos Witt (CanZion) - 2003 "Amazing God" with Marcos Witt: A Fresh and Moving Praise and Worship Live AlbumMarcos Witt comes up with the long-expected first record in English which will be enjoyed by all people around the world.Building off the massive success of his previous albums in Spanish, Marcos Witt is back with another collection of worship-oriented material, but this time, in English. A real treasure for the huge English-language speaking community that really needed a fresh and different Worship touch. Throughout so many years praising in Spanish, Marcos cleverly captured the essence of today's modern worship movement. Now, with "Amazing God" the passion of praise still radiates strongly from this mostly live release. Marcos showcases his masterful composition and vocal skills merging wonderful singers such as Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff and Michael Gungor. Marcos' variations on the worship theme never sound stale. A different way to feel The Holy Spirit around!Marcos brings the same passion and musical talent to this polished album, recorded live at Lakewood Church, Houston, TX. The record's production is a collaboration between longtime producer Coalo Zamorano (who also harmonizes and plays throughout) and the co-producer Juan Salinas."Thank You" and "Amazing God" declare that nothing, not one thing, can love us as much as Jesus Christ. After few days constantly listening and singing the words over and over again, you'll get a holy message in your heart and soul: Lord's message portrayed on the album. It has upbeat praise choruses like "You Reign" and "Aleluya To Our God" just to name a few. The impressive and moving chorus of "I Will Sing Of Your Love" is another highlight, as are the rocking "All Out" and the pop-tinged "Our God Is Lord Of All." "I Will Sing, I Will Dance" and "Lord I Seek You" are well-crafted pop songs among the bonus tracks which enlighten the end of one of the most God-breathed albums so far.Marcos is a much better live performer than a studio artist; the man was born to rock the stage and bless Christians all over the world -so if you are looking for a superb performance for Jesus Christ, his new album is the best choice. Suddenly you'll be stuck and in love with the awe-inspiring Worship. Although the current praise & worship movement in Christian music is full of several great artists, this album will set a difference around what we are get used to hear. Praise & Worship music is getting more and more popular nowadays and thanks to it many people turn back to God.His first praise & worship album in English delivers fresh and catchy tunes. "Amazing God" will touch your heart as you move into a time of worship with Marcos. A must-have album for anyone with a praise & worship music collection. A very worthwhile and enjoyable experience from an artist that only gets better and better for God's shake.Fabio Robert"Jesus, we're going all out for You! We love You. You reign in our lives and we'll sing of your love forever. Lord we seek You earnestly and we want You to know You're bigger than our imagination, Our God, Lord of all. We'll sing and dance steadily and we will lift our voices up to say "Aleluya to our God". Thank you Jesus for your everlasting love and sacrifice.

From very early my heart has sought after His. This passion only grows over time. Many years ago I discovered music was a natural vehicle in my life to aid in the pursuit of His presence. This album is a small expression of that passion, my love, and deep desire to know Him. He is an Amazing God......Lord Jesus, You're the driving passion that keeps us going. Thank you for mercies that are new every morning. Thank you for unfailing love. Thank you for salvation, redemption, and regeneration. Thank you for your blood. Thank you for the honor of coming before your presence with joyful songs. Our lives, our music, and our song will forever be dedicated to the praise of your glorious grace. We honor You.Marcos Witt(taken from the "Amazing God" booklet)"

"I got this CD from a church where Marcos Witt was giving some workshops about worship, didn't think was going to like it, I just wanted to buy something different, but am really happy with this purchase.
This CD is very refreshing, ALL NEW SONGS(with that I mean no different versions of other songs from other CDs), the songs have very inspiriting lyrics, great music, and This guy has a very powerful voice. I just don't get tired of playing "You reign"(up bit Latin style song) and "Amazing God"(the song) again and again...
I am personally working on adding some of this songs to the repertory of my local church worship.
If you are looking for some new worship music, you gata try this one!!!"
