THE PSALMS AROUND US

Landscapes of America blended together with a

a thoughtful meditaion on the beloved Psalms of David

BACKROADS and BYWAYS

of AMERICA

The church has been singing for centuries. We
believe what we sing and we sing what we

believe! They say that christianity at its best

is found in the songs we sing. The hymns

we enjoy most have been forged on the
anvil of trial and the crucible of pain.

A sing - along of our most treasured hymns blended together with the lavish landscapes of America.

Speak Lord in the stillness                  Fairest Lord Jesus
Rock of ages                                     Be still my soul
Great is Thy faithfulness                     Children of the heavenly father
Holy holy holy                                    My Jesus I love Thee
Hiding in Thee                                    How great Thou Art
This is my Father's world                     Day by Day
Turn your eyes upon Jesus                 Jesus the very thought
The Lord's my shepherd                      Day is dying
Amazing grace                                   Who O Lord
To the Hills                                        O Love that will not
What a Friend           Abide with me    My faith has found
