about

Based on the Book of Psalms these songs are perfect for Sunday music for solo singers, small groups or choirs. If you would like the guitar chords and words for any of the songs please email gb@gburnham.com.

These songs were inspired by Nan C. Merrill’s translation of the Psalms in her book Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness. The lyrics for the songs are adapted from her book. The power of her words reaches gently and directly into the heart and opens a door to a new and healing experience of the spirit of the Psalms. Put to music by Gordon Burnham, these songs give expression to the essence of the words.
