The long awaited CD “The Winners! Free
Gospel music song lyrics and the Australian Gospel
Music Awards” was launched at AGMF’05 over the Easter
weekend. Profiling 16 of the 22 award winners from 2004, the
compilation issued by Hard rush Free Gospel Music Tablature
sets a benchmark for the Australian Christian Music
Industry.
Every year in Canberra the free
Gospel music lyrics of the Australian Gospel Music
Awards are presented to recognize the quality and diversity
of this wonderful free Gospel music and tablature industry
sector. In 2004 the 'Angels' were presented to winners at
the National Gallery of Australia. For the first time all
song writing genre categories were awarded, as were the
industry performance status categories and the coveted
Golden Gospel Lyrics for Free Award.
The opening free Black Gospel music lyrics
tablature track of music is from the Golden Gospel Award
winner Sister Janet Mead. As the first Australian to sell
millions of records with her version of the Lord's Prayer
she set high standard not exceeded to date. She was also the
driving force in Australia's initial rock church services
and an influence on countless numbers of Christian musicians
and aspiring Gospel lyrics and tablature, chords and free
hot chocolate for youth performers throughout the 70s and
80s. What all seem standard now, was revolutionary in her
time and she pushed the status quo to new boundaries. The
brilliant track "The Lord Our God Is King" is perhaps the
first praise and worship song recorded with full choir,
orchestra backing - a feat produced by Martin Erdman at
Festival Studios. This song could have been the follow-up to
her worldwide hit, but was not released at the time.
