Travis Cottrell live set features guest appearances and bonus DVD

A 300-voice choir and special appearances highlight the new live recording from Travis Cottrell, Jesus Saves Live. The two-disc, audio-DVD combo features 16 songs performed before a crowd of 7,000 at Woodstock Baptist Church outside of Atlanta.

Songs on the project include “Lord We Come,” “Do It Lord,” “Mercy Seat,” the debut single “Jesus Saves” and “Fearless,” which is also tied into Max Lucado’s upcoming book Fearless and the Fearless Worship compilation CD, which releases Aug. 25 (Indelible/Word).

Singer Cindy Morgan, who joined Cottrell on the road last year, is back for “Praise the King,” while on the bonus DVD, Cottrell is joined by Lucado and speaker Beth Moore, for whom Cottrell leads worship at Living Proof events. Other DVD features include moving video backgrounds for use by church worship leaders.

After the recording, which took place in late January, Cottrell said his lack of stress and nerves had to be credited to divine intervention.

“It was as if the grace of God picked me up and carried me through the whole experience—which is exactly what He did,” he said. “God did amazing things that I could never have imagined, and I am very grateful and very much in awe of His kindness.”

The release will be supported with a Worship Leader magazine promotion running through this month that will fly two winners to July’s Worship Leader Conference to meet with Cottrell and his team. A TV broadcast of Jesus Saves Live is also scheduled to run next year.
