Live the Life is an album by Michael W. Smith.[two] I notable song on this album was "In My Arms Again," which Michael W. Smith wrote for the film Titanic. At that place were 26 songs written and completed for the anthology, whose release date was pushed back twice as Smith wasn't fully satisfied with the track listing. Along with the 12 songs which somewhen made it on the anthology, the tracks "Greater Than We Understand" and "Evening Testify" were released on the B-sides of the CD singles for "Live the Life" and "Honey Me Good" respectively. The remaining 12 songs appeared in some form on Smith'south 1999 album This Is Your Time.
"Song for Rich" is an instrumental tribute to Rich Mullins who died in a car crash in September 1997.[3]
