Songs for the Season

"Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the LORD; exult before him!"
Psalm 68:4–6

Friends, as we step into this new season, our music team is growing their repertoire list - some familiar treasures, some newer pieces that still need to be learned. While  they practice, all of us can learn and meditate on these songs, letting their truths take root in our hearts.

6. As the Deer
