\"VeggietalesHereIAmToWorship.jpg\"<\/span>This March, Big Idea will release the VeggieTales Here I Am To Worship<\/em> album, featuring Bob, Larry and Junior Asparagus along with the Gospel Music Association’s three-time “Female Vocalist of the Year” Dove Award winner Natalie Grant and “2007 Artist of the Year” Dove Award winner Aaron Shust.
\nApparently I missed the first VeggieTales album, VeggieTales: Worship Songs<\/em>, but I’m intrigued by a Veggie worship album. In general, I’m not a fan of kids’ worship albums; they all sound like those screeching Disney “It’s A Small World” robots. But I’m actually a VeggieTales fan so this could be fun.
\nGrant joins the Veggie crew on the title cut, and Shust lends his voice to his No. 1 hit, “My Savior My God.” The album also includes worship hits like “Hallelujah (Your Love Is Amazing),” “Open The Eyes Of My Heart,” “Shout To The Lord” and “I Can Only Imagine.”
\nBut what do you think? Does a VeggieTales worship song help introduce kids to worship music, or does it turn worship music into a gag?<\/strong>
