Simple Hymns: Songs of Communion

""""Simple Hymns: Songs of Communion"""" is the fourth instalment in the """"Simple Hymns"""" series. This is a series that has been developed by Venture3Media to resource the church's worship by providing (mostly) newly written hymns with theologically richer vocabulary. Rather than singing over and over again of Jesus as the church's never failing boyfriend extraordinarie, these songs actually unpack the great doctrines of Scripture executed in contemporary measures. And to make these songs even more palatable, contemporary worship leaders such as Pat Barrett, Kelly Minter, Joanna Beasley, Gabe Wilson, Chris Weninegar and others were brought in to mouth these (mostly) newly written hymns. As the coda of this titular reveals, these songs have been created to help provide the soundtrack of churches as God's people gather round the communion table. As the celebration of the Eucharist has generally been a solemn affair, likewise, all of the songs on this record are set on a decelerated pace availing opportunities for us to contemplate on Jesus' sacrifice. Though not every song here is perfect, but as a collective, this album deserves to be widely circulated. Smaller churches would do well to master these songs as many of them lend themselves to being performed with a minimum hosts of instruments. In fact, a piano or a guitar may be enough to execute these songs.
