All I Owe (by Matthew Smith)

(click on the title)

"These hymns are woven into my very being. They shape my thoughts and actions as I seek to love God and live life. They rise up and fight the lies that seek to crush me. They allow me to reach out into mystery and embrace my longings. They give me courage. They remind me that all I owe has already been paid. They make me see Jesus"

That's pretty much how I feel, too, when I listen to my new compact disc.

I bought it as a present for myself without even listening to it but I can already tell it holds many hours of listening pleasure. I knew I would like it based on the hymns (which have been set to new music and some tastefully altered)

1, Come thou fount of every blessing
2, His love can never fail
3, Thy blood was shed for me
4, How helpless
5, Jesus, I am resting
6, All I owe
7, The Lord will provide
8, None among
9, My Lord I did not choose you
10, Nothing but the blood
