FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "We started this special collection of poetry based on the hymns of faith determined to combine the rich, spiritual heritage of the hymns with contemporary settings, people and events into a series of poems that would find hope in hopelessness, strength in weakness and love in the unlovable. Inspired years ago to do an ode to the hymns after attending a church worship service, we began to view them not only as songs but as poetry, realizing how fascinating they truly are.
"It is songs like "At The Cross", "I Surrender All", "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" and "Amazing Grace" in which we pay tribute in this collection. You'll notice the change in song titles and the rearrangement of them in a different perspective. We even incorporated some lines from the hymns within the poems themselves as hints to the messages being conveyed. So, you have a greater explanation to most of what we have done. It's not always good to reveal too much of one's artwork to an audience at hand but its always helpful when presenting a new idea that otherwise would only cause others to scratch their heads. It was both exciting and rewarding digging deep into the foundations to which Contemporary Christian music and the world owes a debt.
