Rain City Hymnal

17Mar08

Last Sunday I picked up the Mars Hill’s latest studio release, Rain City Hymnal. This album features 12 classic hymns rearranged with modern instrumentation and performed by Mars Hill Bands (The BET, E-Pop, Ex Nihlo, The Northern Conspiracy and Team Strike Force).

In the last week, this disk has been a blessing to me. The timeless words of the songs have been helping me to recall the awesome power and majesty of our God.

Just a taste of the lyrical content, from We Have Not Known Thee performed by Team Strike Force:

We have not known Thee as we ought,
Nor learned Thy wisdom, grace and power;
The things of earth have filled our thought,
And trifles of the passing hour.
Lord, give us light Thy truth to see,
And make us wise in knowing Thee.

    “We Have Not Known Thee” is by far my most favored song in the Hymnal.
