]Last night, SoundForth presented its latest CD in the Bible Conference premiere concert.  God of Mercy is an excellent collection of new and old hymns sung and played by the BJU Singers & Orchestra.

I especially enjoy Dan Forrest’s setting of “How Firm a Foundation” – he does a great job creating an early American sound and communicating the strength and security that we find in God.  “Beneath the Cross” is a reflective song that encourages us to meditate on the forgiveness we receive from Christ and how that forgiveness affects daily life.  My favorite track is “Before the Throne of God Above” – I love the paradox of my unworthiness before Christ and my security in him!  This arrangement builds to a triumphant finish as the words remind us of our unbreakable union with Christ!

God of Mercy is available from SoundForth.
