By Peter Fraser<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The following worship songs were written over the last eight years, and were inspired by a need for quality worship songs with good theology at the churches where I attended. While I have enjoyed introducing them to the individual churches, my ultimate hope is to share them with a larger audience. So before leaving Light of the Hill UMC in Puyallup, our worship team called Psalm 150<\/i>, recorded ten of the songs and put them on YouTube. I\u2019m grateful to the team and to Winslow Barger for recording and formatting the videos.<\/p>\n

The songs were written to be sung by a group and are meant to be relatively easy to learn and sing. Even though they are recorded with a full rhythm section, these songs can be lead with just guitar or piano and voice, or with more instrumentation if needed. There are also lead sheets (chords\/lyrics\/melody notation) for each one. A link to each is embedded next to the song titles down below.<\/p>\n

My hope is that you find a song or songs that would work for you and your congregation and please feel free to share them. I offer them at no cost, but if you feel a need to contribute financially, I ask that you donate to your local church or to our conference camping program. And please let me know if you have any further questions or comments about them.<\/p>\n

Thanks everyone,<\/p>\n
