“My Hope” // Storytellers

We led the song “My Hope” yesterday from the upcoming “Stand Firm” project.  This fun bluegrass tune gets so rowdy I felt the need for both a banjo and a harmonica!  The track is filled with mandolin, cowbell, and about anything else we could find.

Last Sunday, we concluded our services with the song “I Will Honor You.”  We originally unveiled it at our Epworth Night of Worship and I heard so many encouraging words.  It was a perfect way to end our services on how husbands are to love their wives. While the wives’ song had 6 verses to use, this song for husbands …

After the Allens did a great job welcoming us into worship, we did a worship …
