“Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.”  So reads Psalm 119:11.  One wonderful tool for hiding God’s Word in our hearts is music.

I had the blessing of reviewing this album from Generation Cedar, which sets whole passages of Scripture (primarily Psalms) to music.  It is a beautiful album.  (Even the cover is beautiful and soothing – look at that gorgeous scene!)

The musical style is probably best described as hymn-like.  It is soothing acoustic music.  The lyrics are taken from the King James Version of the Bible.  (I think that some of them are not perfectly word-for-word, but very heavily inspired by their particular passages, while others are essentially word-for-word.)

Our family is extremely musical, so we can be very particular about musical quality.  I can tell you that this is less-than-perfect, but very good.  A good way to describe it might be that it sounds more like having musical friends singing in your living room, than a heavily-produced album with lots of editing done in post-production.  My girls and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  (Hubby hasn’t heard it much, as he’s usually at work.)  My favorite track is “Praise Ye Him.”

As a bonus, by purchasing this album, you will be helping a family to rebuild after the devastation of this summer’s storms.  (Their home was lost in an Alabama tornado.)  How’s that for two-for-one? – bless your family and someone else’s, all with one small purchase!
