Maranatha! International is not typically associated as an artist or band in the traditional sense, but rather as a significant brand in the genre of Christian music, particularly known for producing and distributing praise and worship albums. The Maranatha! Music label began as an outreach of Calvary Chapel in the early 1970s, growing out of the Jesus movement and serving as a platform to share gospel and worship music with a wider audience. Over the years, the label has been instrumental in shaping the sounds of contemporary Christian music, releasing compilations that bring together various artists and worship leaders to create cohesive worship experiences.

The legacy of Maranatha! International is evident in its expansive catalogue of compilations that capture the essence of worship traditions from diverse cultures and regions. With albums such as "Quiero Alabarte" featuring Spanish-language worship songs, and a series of releases focusing on Australian praise music—including "Australia's Top 25 Praise Songs," "Australia Worships: Beautiful Saviour," "Australia Worships: This Kingdom," "Australia Worships: Heart Of Love," and "Australia Worships - The Great Southland”—Maranatha! has shown its commitment to celebrating and uniting the global Christian community through music. The label's "Top 25 UK Praise Songs" and "Island Praise - Songs To The Son" further demonstrate this dedication by catering to specific international audiences, providing these communities with songs that resonate with their unique cultural and spiritual identities.
