Hide the Word 4: Refuge & Strength

20 Scripture memory songs featuring vocals by Phil Kim, Stacy Pomroy, Rochelle Calvetti, Chris Wright, Greg King, Rochelle King, Chris McCrae, Kristin Rhoads, and Ian Murphy. As on the last album, Once for All, Stephen Altrogge has written and performed on two of the songs. In addition to vocals, Chris McCrae contributes his creativity on piano and drums. Barry Little does another sizzling guitar solo on James 1:17, and once again Roger Hooper plays some cool organ solos. Stephen Altrogge plays some acoustic guitar reminiscent of Stephen Stills on Isaiah 40:11.

We think you'll enjoy the outstanding vocals and the variety of styles of music represented on the album. Our goal is to make memorizing Scripture fun and easy. Who says memorizing Scripture has to be difficult and tedious?

All the Scriptures used in Refuge & Strength are from the ESV (English Standard Version), which is a very accurate and wonderful translation of the Bible. Price: $9.99
