Psalm 145:13-21: My Mouth Will Speak the Praise of the Lord
Update 10/28/21: Sheet music for this song can now be purchased at gregscheer.com. The composition process is funny, because sometimes when you’re in the thick of writing something you begin to psych yourself out thinking that you’re polishing a fundamentally … Continue reading
