I have heard that my free program for the worship leader, Access Praise!, was not working properly for some reason for a few people. I repackaged the install program with the latest Microsoft Access Runtime in Office 2007 environment. I hope this will help some of you who love the program but was not able to use in Vista or the latest office environment. Also, hopefully this version has addressed some bugs that I was not even aware of.
Please download the Access Praise! 2009 HERE, the older version, Access Praise! 2008, HERE. Again, for the instructions on how to use the program, please go HERE.
Phil Wickham has the "singlaong" album for free download at this website, http://philwickham.com/
I was browsing through my iPod and landed at this album. I was very impressed by how people singalong with him with such passion. It sounds like an acoustic guitar is the only instrument in this album. It reminded me of how we "singalong" together at Friday Bible Study with guitar during my college days.
Here is a video of him introducing "singalong"
And here is a video of my favorite song in the album, "Cannons"

(Verse) In the name of the Father In the name of the Son In the name of the Spirit, Lord we come We're gathered together to lift up Your name To call on our Savior, to fall on Your grace
Hear the joyful sound of our offering As Your saints bow down, as Your people sing We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings And the world will see that
(Chorus) Our God saves, our God saves There is hope in Your name
Mourning turns to songs of praise Our God saves, our God saves
