Last year, a dozen of the Christian music industry’s top singers and songwriters, invited by Delirious frontman Martin Smith, gathered together in Scotland to write songs that would benefit the poor through a charity called CompassionArt.
The songwriters, publishers, managers, copyright institutes and agents involved all waived their rights to the music so that all of the monies generated will benefit the charity. Now, 14 of those songs are included on the album, CompassionArt: Creating Freedom From Poverty
The project features the twelve CompassionArt songwriters, joined by seven genre-defining guest vocalists: (Songwriters) Paul Baloche, Steven Curtis Chapman, Stu G, Israel Houghton, Tim Hughes, Graham Kendrick, Andy Park, Matt Redman, Martin Smith, Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, and Darlene Zschech; and (Guest Vocalists) Kirk Franklin, Amy Grant, Joel Houston, Leeland Mooring, Christy Nockels, tobyMac and CeCe Winans. The group also published a compilation book, The Art of Compassion.

What is a URL? I cannot believe or explain the impact that Compassionart has had on me. I’m totally there. Honestly, I am. It’s how I live my Earthly life.
I want to know how I as a human can give compassion to people who just want to hurt me>
