The six-time Grammy award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s new CD titled “Pray” has hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard Magazine’s Gospel Albums Sales Chart this week.

“Pray” previously debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel albums chart. Music videos for the title song have already been produced as well as for the worship tune “At The Cross.”  Choir director Carol Cymbala believes church choirs are still an essential part of corporate worship.

“I really believe that it's very important in the church today, if we are going to have a choir, that the people in the choir need to be committed members, who have a heart for God and a heart for ministry,” Cymbala says. “I also believe that choir directors need to focus on seeing lives changed through the power of the gospel in song.

“There is just something really beautiful and powerful about seeing so many people lifting their voices to the Lord in praise in one accord.  I pray that there would be more choirs that would be raised up in the day that we are living in so that we can sing a song of praise and victory to our God because He is worthy of all our praise.” 

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir will perform at Chris Tomlin’s Worship Night in America event at Madison Square Garden in New York City August 8. Additionally, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers will be performing in Naperville, Illinois at the Calvary Church of Naperville on Friday, June 19 for a free event featuring Pastor Jim Cymbala. 

In addition to their six Grammy Awards, the choir has garnered seven Dove Awards (Gospel Music’s Grammy equivalent), two #1 Billboard charting CDs and over four million albums sold. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has performed at major music venues such as Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and Madison Square Garden.
