Renewing the Heart Live: Hymns and Songs of Worship (1998)

Renewing the Heart Live: Hymns and Songs of Worship is the first live worship album by Christian singer - songwriter Kim Hill, released in 1998 by Star Song Records. Hill co-produced the live project with David Zaffiro. Hill served as worship leader for women's conferences sponsored by the American Evangelical Protestant organization Focus on the Family. It features Hill and her worship team singing hymns and modern worship songs live like "Holy, Holy, Holy," "Blessed Be the Name," "Be Glorified," the Darlene Zschech anthem "Shout to the Lord," a new live recording of "Be Still and Know" (originally recorded for Hill's debut album) and Rich Mullins classic "Awesome God," in which Hill was one of the backing singers who sang in the chorus on Mullins' studio recording in his album Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth. The final track "Great is Thy Faithfulness" features guest vocals by southern gospel legend Vestal Goodman. In 1999, Hill won her first, and only, Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year at the 30th GMA Dove Awards.
