Christian rock, worship, and sometimes country band Third Day are gearing up to release new worship album Lead Us Back on March 3 of next year.

This will be the band's first worship album in over ten years, and they will be performing their 12th album in its entirety on the release day in the Beacon Theatre in New York.

Lead Us Back will be Third Day's third worship album and have a special deluxe version with 10 more songs featuring band favorites that were recorded live on the road from a previous tour.

"We've wanted to do a worship album for quite a while but have been waiting for the right time. NOW is that time! I believe this is the best batch of songs that we have ever recorded!" said vocalist Mac Powell in a press release.

Bass player Tai Anderson added, "'Lead Us Back' is a call to worship not just for our audience but the band as well. Why now? We're ready for these songs. We're ready to feel God's spirit fall afresh on all of us again."

The band's previous worship albums, OFFERINGS - A Worship Album and OFFERINGS II - All I Have to Give, came out in 2000 and 2003 respectively, and are two of their biggest releases.

"I think the essence of Third Day music," said drummer David Carr, "has always had a thread of worship to it, whether we've classified an album as worship or not. Though we are confident in the direction we took on previous albums, we felt it was time for us to revisit the emotion and heart that comes through when the songs are unabashedly directed to God."

Third Day, is comprised of members Mac Powell, Tai Anderson, David Carr and Mark Lee. During the last two decades, they have racked up 30 No. 1 radio singles and sold more than eight million albums, including two RIAA 2x Multi Platinum, five Platinum and 12 Gold certifications.

Third Day has garnered four GRAMMY© Awards (with 11 career nominations), an American Music Award (with four American Music Award nominations), multiple ASCAP honors (including its coveted Vanguard Award for songwriting), and 24 career GMA Dove Awards (from 42 nominations).

Tickets for the March 3 Beacon Theatre performance go on sale November 21. The band will also embark on a 2015 worldwide tour in support of Lead Us Back - dates to be announced.
