Psalm 115: For the Glory of Your Name

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Greg Scheer

This is my second attempt at Psalm 115. (The first is here.) It’s interesting to see the two different directions one Psalm can go musically. The first version was prettier and more compact, but I like the earthiness of this … Continue reading →
