The follow-up to Christian performer Michael W. Smith's pop crossover album, GO WEST YOUNG MAN, 1992's CHANGE YOUR WORLD reinforced the singer/pianist's ability to reach secular audiences, while maintaining predominantly spiritual themes. Highlights from the record include the moving ballad "I Will Be Here for You" and "Somewhere Somehow," a tender duet with Smith's longtime friend and peer Amy Grant. minimize
