Based at Anderson United Methodist Methodist Church in Jackson, MS, the Mississippi Children's Choir, with hot soloist Steven Johnson, accompanied by a rocking band, wastes little time getting down on the spiritual 'House of the Lord.' This CD brings us 11 (accompanied) tunes, many we haven't heard before: 'All We Have,' 'I'm Blessed,' 'Anointing,' 'Whiter Than Snow,' 'The Shepherd Song,' 'Things Go Better With Christ,' 'Remember Me,' 'Joy of My Salvation,' 'Throne of Mercy,' and 'O Come Let Us Adore Him (The Little Boy and His Boat).' 'When God's Children' has all the spiritual joy and youthful energy you can imagine, the kind that brings you up out of the pew to dance in the aisles and sing along. Wonderful children's art in the liner notes. This is the real thing and highly recommended!

Jackson Mississippi-based Mississippi Children's Choir has it all-a rocking band that could back up Earth, Wind and Fire or Jimmy Cliff as needed, an appreciative live audience, great new (Contemporary Christian) songs, and youthful joy, energy and spirituality. 8 songs: 'Come On Children,' the reggae song 'The Good Samaritan,' 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow,' 'It's Me, O Lord,' 'Inside Out,' 'I Love You Jesus,' 'The Caterpillar's Song,' and 'Let's Change The World.' 'A New Creation' is about celebration, dancing in the aisles and the love of Jesus-highly recommended!

This video is a live concert recording of the Mississippi Children's Choir. The program features gospel songs. The choir gives a very upbeat and disciplined performance. Accompanied by a gospel band, selections include 'The Caterpillar's Song' by Jerry Mannery and Jerry Smith, 'The Good Samaritan' by Sondra Lee-Bell, 'His Eye is on the Sparrow' arranged by Jerry Smith and 'Let's Change the World' by David R. Curry, Jr. and Dorcus Thigpen. If you enjoy the Mississippi Children's Choir recordings you'll love seeing them perform.

This is the choir's second album which met with great success when first released when it sold nearly 100,000 copies, but it also showcased a new artist, 14-year old Bryan Wilson. Bryan's anointed lead on His Eye is On the Sparrow for the choir led to his first solo album also on Malaco. As a result, both the choir and Bryan captured the 1996-97 Stellar nominations in the same category for Children's Performance of the Year.
