Sojourn recorded “The Christ Hymn” on These Things I Remember in 2005. Worship Leader Rebecca Dennison arranged the famous text (Colossians 1:15-20)and wrote the music for it with Worship & Arts Pastor Mike Cosper.

The interview concludes with the complete album cut mp3 of “The Christ Hymn” from These Things I Remember.

Worship has TWO contexts – the broad context of all of life (unceasing, living-sacrifice worship) and the narrow context of the gathered church, who gathers to encourage and build one another up, … Read Entire Post
