"Worship is my lifeline...in the craziness of my life, whether it's in real crisis or the "fire drill" of getting my boys to school in the morning, focusing on the Lord through worship helps keep everything in perspective," says Kim Hill. Kim first led worship at the inaugural Focus on the Family Renewing Your Heart national women's conference in 1997. She has continued to lead worship at women's conferences throughout the world. "Surrounded By Mercy" is the latest offering from the Grammy nominated, multi-Dove award winner. This is Kim's eleventh national release. In 2004, Kim released her first Christmas project, "Real Christmas", including many traditional hymns with her trademark arrangements that brings the heart of worship into the familiar. Kim will lead us to prepare our hearts to hear the spoken Word.
