NASHVILLE (AP) _ Award-winning Christian artist Michael W. Smith has gathered a big group of artists to record the song “Come Together Now” to benefit relief efforts in Haiti. The song was written by Smith, David Mullen and Cindy Morgan.

Dozens of artists joined Smith yesterday at Ocean Way Studio to record the song. It’s purpose is to remind Americans to support earthquake survivors. Smith says all the artists, technicians and others involved are donating their time. He says he hasn’t seen a bill yet. In addition to the artists participating, a large children’s choir will also be featured. Smith says Haitian children who live in the Nashville area also participated.

He says it’s hard to believe the session came together less than two weeks after the idea came to him. He expects the final mix will be completed by the weekend and that the song will be available for download shortly after.
