• "Psalms for Singing" CD

  Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

  Music is a tool that helps us remember the truths of Scripture. We're commanded over 400 times in Scripture to sing. Why is that? "So that the word of Christ may dwell in you richly." (Col 3:16). We're called to fill our homes with the truths of Scripture, and this project's goal is to help live into that calling.
  
  When we sing the Psalms, we join our voices with the historic Christian church, all the way back to Old Testament times. In an attempt to put the Word of God back into grasp of the common people, reformers like Calvin and Luther sought to set the Psalms to singable tunes. They knew that if they could get the church to sing God's Word, they would be more apt to learn and understand the depths of it.
  
  The goal of this project is to help make the Psalms accessible to the modern church. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) has roots in Psalm singing for the better part of the last 500 years - it was at Geneva College, an RPCNA school, that I was first introduced to this practice of singing God's Word. It seems that there has been a resurgence in singing the Psalms in recent years, even outside of reformed circles, some of which has been congregationally-aimed and some being what I would consider more "artistic" - merely for listening. The RPCNA's Book of Psalms for Worship (Crown & Covenant Publications) contains some of the most beautifully translated and metricized versions of the Psalms that I've found that are meant to be sung by churches. One of the issues I've ran into when leading these tunes in other church denominational contexts, however, is that they were written with the intent of being sung a cappella - without instrumentation. Thus, in recent years, it's taken some creativity to lead some of these Psalms with guitar, piano, and other typical instruments you'd hear in church. I believe it's been a worthwhile endeavor, which is why I reached out to Crown & Covenant Publications about creating this record.
  
  My hope is that these recordings serve as inspiration for others to creatively incorporate Psalm-singing in their congregations - that you might find ways to incorporate Crown & Covenant Publications' psalter into your family worship, congregational worship, and personal devotions.
