As Easter approaches, Michael W. Smith is excited to announce the release of his EP, Worthy is the Lamb, this Friday (March 15). The EP features 5 songs recorded live with the Nashville Recording Orchestra and choir last year as a part of a beautiful Easter Special with Franklin Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Smith writes, "Many of these songs you've probably heard before, but I'm excited to share unique and stunning arrangements on these classics with you all AND a brand new song called Crimson Dust...

"I can't wait for you all to hear the rest of this EP in just two days... Still so thankful to have re-imagined and recorded these songs with an amazing orchestra and choir last year in Nashville. Beautiful building, beautiful arrangements, and beautiful voices that really made these songs come alive."
