STRETCH GOAL! $9250
If we can reach $9250 before the end of the campaign, we will be able to create another album called “In Beauty of Holiness” with 10-12 favorite Psalms and Hymns from previous recordings but re-worked and re-mixed. This album will be in addition to your current level of pledge (If your reward is a digital download, you will get both albums; if your reward is 2 copies of “Praise Your Maker” you will also receive 2 copies of “In Beauty of Holiness.”)
For the past 25 years, I have had the blessing of writing music for the various churches where I have served. This has enabled me to craft music for the specific needs of the local church and for congregational singing. In 2010, Ligonier Ministries produced a recording of several of these hymns and Psalms called “My Cry Ascends.” And in 2012, I followed up with “Christ is Our Cornerstone.” In 2017, I did a slightly different project called “Rise and Worship.”
With “Praise Your Maker,” I want to record 7-8 hymns and Psalms that will be useful for corporate worship as hymns of praise, confession, before the Word, communion, and sending out in benediction. These songs will be sung by a variety of voices with the common factor being musical style and accessibility.
I’m excited to be able to share these new songs. Contents will include:
TOTAL BUDGET (I’ve paid for some of this already upfront)
The risk is minimal because most of the recording has already been completed. The Kickstarter funds will enable me to finish the recording process, mix and master the tracks, and produce physical copies.
