Michael W Smith speaks about writing lyrics on his new number 19 hit album

CCM STAR and worship leader Michael W Smith has debuted at number 19 on The Billboard 200 mainstream album chart with his latest album 'A New Hallelujah'. Smith told Billboard about taking a more active role in penning lyrics for the album. He said, "I never thought lyrics were my strong suit. I'm just a music guy. I was always intimidated by all the great writers like Paul Baloche, Amy Grant and Wayne Kirkpatrick, but I found myself starting to really come up with some things that I didn't know were deep inside me, and I ended up writing half of this record, which is unusual." CR
