New song

Mary Metzner Trammell

COMPOSER, songwriter, singer, inventer of instruments, lyre player, dancer King David of Israel was all these. And much more. His songs, many of which are in the book of Psalms in the Bible, communicate a depth of love for God that has rarely been surpassed in sacred music. They make us feel, intimately, God's healing presence. They take away feelings of vulnerability and grief. It's for good reason that King David became known as "the sweet psalmist of Israel" (II Sam. 23:1).

Regenerated, healed lives. That's something to sing about!
