One of the albums I’ve been listening to lately and for the last few weeks has been the debut release from Chris Clayton titled “All These Things and More".

Chris Clayton has a true desire and passion for people to live their lives each moment in wonder of the One who gives real life. "My prayer is that people will be reminded that we serve and worship a holy God who is more than we can ever fathom. Sometimes I feel that we often ‘tip our hat’ to God and go about our week without ever encountering Him and recognizing Him for the Holy One that He is." Clayton says.

Chris serves as a worship leader traveling the United States leading worship in various youth, college and young adult capacities. Since 2000, Chris has traveled on a full time basis with a heartbeat to lead authentic worship. "For me, it isn’t about going out and pounding a Bible over a person’s head, but instead striving to reflect God in everything I do. Worship is more about a lifestyle than any song written or any service on a Sunday morning.’

I’ve enjoyed this album as being a great worship experience while I’m on my regular commutes into the office and around town. The album play list is a great mix of upbeat, energy driving songs like "Happy Day" and the title track "All These Things and More", or thoughtful, introspective choruses like "All to You" and "Stand Amazed". Chris even does a great version of "You Never Let Go".

Here are a few different photos of Chris performing.
