Welcome to our Psalms section, where ancient words meet modern melodies. Here you’ll find chord/lyric sheets and audio samples of my own contemporary renditions of the Psalms. Singing the Psalms is a timeless practice, one that bridges the rich history of the Church with our present-day worship.
In Ephesians 5:18-19, Paul urges us to “be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.” By incorporating the Psalms into our worship, we not only honor this biblical exhortation but also connect deeply with the faith of those who have gone before us.
These renditions aim to bring the beauty and depth of the Psalms into our contemporary worship settings, making them accessible for today’s generation. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or a newcomer to worship leading, these resources are here to inspire and equip you. Join us in lifting up these sacred songs. Feel free to copy, distribute, etc..
