1 piano, 5000 voices, 19 hymns

Last week I commended the Sovereign Grace music and book sale to you. Only four days left to get in on these deals. I am especially enjoying one of the CDs that I purchased.

Here's a little background on the CD project from Bob Kauflin, who put it all together:

"Last April I had the privilege of leading over 5000 folks (mostly men) in worship a the Together for the Gospel conference in Louisville, KY. The sound was overpowering at times, particularly when we got to verses that unpacked the salvation Jesus secured for us through his substitutionary death.

As we worked on the mixes I was often overcome by the truths that were being proclaimed and the responses of those who were singing. It’s a different experience when there are no drums, no synths, no bass…just a piano and voices. Besides the piano accompaniment, there’s not a lot there to grab you except for the truths that are being sung. What a concept."

You can read more from Kauflin here.

I'm convinced that this album will benefit you in several ways:

• It will increase your understanding and appreciation for the immeasurable sacrifice that took place at the cross and all that it purchased for you.
• It would be a great tool to use in family worship, or a great way to start a time of family worship. In other words, get the CD and sing the songs with your kids.
• It has songs that are easy to sing and yet have remarkable depth and meaning.
  
• It will increase your love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  
• It is full of the sound of passionate people (in this case, mostly men) singing about their great God.
• Albums like this are very rare. It's tough to find so many excellent songs that engage both the mind and heart.
  
• 19 songs (not one bad one), $6 ... comes out to 32 cents per song.
  

You can download three songs from the album for free. Go here and get the last three songs (they are listed as bonus tracks, but are not actually on the CD). Click "Buy mp3" and then download.

One more thing ... I put together a document that has the lyrics in columns so that they can be cut out. If you think this might be useful, you can download it here or you can let me know (via comment or email) and I'll get it to you promptly.
