SEASONED WORSHIP LEADER SETS STAGE FOR FIRST STUDIO PROJECT
Selling truckloads of his eight live recordings, having
penned songs sung by millions of worshippers worldwide and traveling with
Promise Keepers and Franklin Graham Crusades, worship leader Tommy Walker has
never released a strictly studio record…until now. Having served in his home
church for the past 18 years, Walker uses his work
experience to carefully craft 10 solid tracks, designing a cohesive collection
of his best songwriting to date.
I Have A Hope
opens with the title track’s comfortable, relaxed groove, setting the tone both
musically and lyrically with its declaration of praise:
“I will yet praise Him, my great Redeemer/I will yet stand up and give
Him glory with my life… I have a hope.”
Smoothly transitioning into the subtly grand “Hallelujah, We Will Sing”
and beautifully simple “In the Light of Your Glory,” it’s easy to see why over
100 of Walker’s songs have found prominent positions on CCLI’s current chart and in churches worldwide.

With producer Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Bebo
Norman) at the helm,
I Have A Hope resists the genre’s
temptation to overproduce, utilizing Walker’s easy vocals to
define, rather than distract from each song’s powerful lyric.
Thanks to Walker
and Cash’s collaborative sensitivity,
I
Have a Hope prepares Walker to effectively bridge
the gap between worship leader/songwriter and recording artist. Whether singing
corporately or listening alone, I Have a
Hope is an extremely accessible worship record.
