Psalm 80
This psalm is a moving lament written in response to the devastation of the northern tribes of Israel in 722 BC. Yet the psalm transcends this context giving voice to the brokenness of our lives and our world. It is a prayer that aligns perfectly with what God is doing in the world today: restoring lives and making his face shine upon us again.
Psalm 121
Psalm 121 has been a favourite Psalm for many people. It was written to comfort those who need to know that God is with them. And over the years I believe this psalm has done just that as it has travelled the airwaves in this adaptation originally recorded for our second album Redemption Songs.
Psalm 37 (part 3)
We recorded a couple of sections of this profound wisdom psalm for our third album Shelter and here I add a third part. We have performed this section of the psalm live but never recorded it. The psalm points us to the simple wisdom of walking in the ways of God.
Psalm 23
This is the first psalm I ever wrote music to and this is the version I came up with. We recorded it for an early emerging Sons of Korah album and again for a limited edition EP but we have since left it behind preferring a new version that appears on our Refuge studio album. It seemed appropriate though to revisit this version of Psalm 23 for this 20th Anniversary Light of Life bonus.
