Throughout the past three decades, Sandi Patty has been blessing audiences around the world. The release of Forever Grateful: Live from the Farewell Tour, recorded during her 2016 tour, brings the concert experience to those who were unable to attend and allow fans who were there to relive the night for years to come.

The album opens with “Anthem of Praise” followed immediately by a “Praise Medley” featuring several of Sandi’s most beloved praise songs from over the years.

The “Ballad Medley (Upon This Rock/They Could Not/In the Name of the Lord/How Great Thou Art)”, celebrates Christ’s triumph over death and the almighty power found in His Name.

“Love In Any Language” reminds us that love is the common thread that ties us all together and is the one thing capable of breaking down barriers and overcoming the differences that separate us as human beings.

“Via Dolorosa” flows into a heartfelt rendition of “The Old Rugged Cross” as each tell of the sacrifice Jesus made as He gave His life to save us from our sins.

A definite highlight is a beautiful a cappella version of the classic hymn “It Is Well With My Soul”.

Closing the collection is “Forever Grateful” which plays as a ‘thank you’ note to God for the blessings He has poured into Sandi’s life as the words give all the glory & honor to Him.

There’s no denying that the music of Sandi Patty has touched countless lives since the beginning of her illustrious career. This collection gives fans a taste of some of her best songs performed in a live setting capturing her heart for praise while keeping spotlight on the Savior. Forever Grateful: Live from the Farewell Tour is also available on DVD.
