Journal Entry 24th Apr 2008

Hi all,

I just wanted to share a gem of a site that I stumbled across a good few months ago, and I'd highly recommend it.

The site, www.reformedpraise.org, founded by David Ward, basically has a number of old hymn texts that have either been slightly re-worked or have new melodies written for them, and there are even some new works there as well.

As you'd possibly expect, there are some tunes that are definately more forgetable than others, but there certainly are a few gems that we have been using of late as a team and the congregation have really engaged with the texts and been blessed the use of these songs.

A few of the songs I'd highly recommend having a listen to if you get a chance are:

Though I Was A Child Of Darkness
O God The Holy Spirit
I Am Confident Of This
I'll Rest In Christ
Hope for Sinners

Some of these songs do take a few listens to capture you, but I have found personally the weight and depth of some of the words has really melted my heart and enflamed a passion to bow down and worship our awesome God.

Love

Rich
