Miriam Webster
. . . Through her music and singing - from classics that have appeared across numerous Hillsong (Sydney) albums, such as 'Dwelling Places' and 'Worthy is the Lamb' - Miriam had begun to draw together two strands that are invigorating to Church: the power of abandon through song and the power of the Holy Spirit to move through music. . . Miriam's recent move to the USA - where she now lives, records, writes and tours - has reflected her increasing currency among the established worship scene. Her latest album - "Made Me Glad" - can only add to that and point to a future where far more Christians around the world will sing her songs and draw strength from her faith.
