Micah Stampley has established himself as one of gospel music's premier worship leaders. On his fifth album, One Voice, Stampley demonstrates why he has earned such a distinction.

One Voice is a diverse yet cohesive album, on which Stampley seamlessly blends lively, upbeat anthems of victory such as “Hosanna” and “Shout,” with mellow ballads pleading for closeness with God on “Desperate People” and “Search for You.”

The standout track on the album is "Call of Love," written by Stampley's wife, Heidi. A musical prayer to be used by God, it features the lyrics "For the broken and the shamed, let my hurt burn like a flame. Let me be the conduit of perfect love.”

On the title track, “One Voice", Stampley calls for the body of Christ to unify in worship: "Different colors, many expressions, but when we worship, we sing to an audience of One. We are salt and light. The world must see us unified.”
