Beautiful example of poetic imagery illuminating the gospel

As I read Glen Packiam’s post on the importance of the words we use in worship, I was reminded of a hymn that I think does a masterful job of using poetic imagery to illuminate the gospel. It sings truth so beautifully, but it’s not poetic at the expense of truth and that distinction is [...]

ORS Music: Come Thou Fount (Acoustic) – 1 Take, 1 Mic Sessions

A couple Sundays ago my band came up with a new arrangement to Come Thou Fount before service. I really liked the feel and I had an idea of doing these live recording sessions where we’d do it acoustically gathered around a single mic. So last night all us family folk had a few hours [...]
