Verse: Psalm 107:2

Let voices carry this one. I composed ‘Sing of My Redeemer’ for the gathered church, not the stage. Pull back on instrumentation and give your congregation room to own the words. And when you hit the bridge, resist the urge to fill every gap with music. That moment, ‘from death to life, His victory has brought me,’ lands hardest when it’s coming from the people, not the band. One more thing: share the Bliss story. A congregation that knows these lyrics were found in a trunk after the man who wrote them died in a train disaster will carry a deeper understanding of every word they sing.
