Singing Our Faith; Sacred Choral Music as Worship, Prayer and Confession


Music has historically been a significant way in which Christians not only worship but express our faith and communicate our theology and belief.  We sing our theology.  It is offered as praise, prayer, celebration and confession, in joy, sorrow, grief and hope.  Occasionally this blog features outstanding examples of our beliefs, expressed in music and song through a variety of outstanding Christian choirs or musicians (see Reformation hymns remembered 10/2014).  This entry features the several outstanding examples of Christian choirs singing the faith in music.

Salvation is created,
in the midst of earth,
O God, O our God.  Alleluia.
