It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Sovereign Grace Music, and it seems I'm not alone: Worship Leader magazine picked SGM's recent Psalms album as one of the “Best of the Best” for 2009. (For the record, I've never read "Worship Leader" magazine... not that there's anything wrong with that. I was made aware of this by the internet machine, thank you very much.)
To celebrate, SGM has dropped the price for the Psalms CD to $8 through the end of November. The downloadable album is also on sale, for $6.
Psalms contains twelve songs echoing the passion, prayers, and praises of the psalmists. It's excellent (in my opinion), and if you haven’t heard it yet, you can preview it with a free download of the song “Praise the Lord,” which is our song of the week.
It's a happy, celebratory song based on Psalm 150, exhorting us to praise the Lord with everything we have and are, because of everything He is and does. And how can you go wrong with Scripture songs?
