Psalms Of Patience, Protest And Praise

Description

Twenty-four songs from the Psalms, paraphrased and arranged by John Bell. The songs have attractive, memorable tunes, and sound good a cappella. The language is natural and faithful to scripture, restoring the potency that older paraphrases of the Psalms have lost today.
