Hey guys, what's going on still at the why Calvinism conference and we're wrapping things up here

00:09

I'm here with Kenny and Claire who've been providing worship for us every morning and afternoon

00:15

And I've been absolutely blessed by you guys Tell us a little bit about yourself.

00:20

Tell the listeners either one of you Okay We did we took

00:35

Lesser known hymns that had fallen out of use in the church Yeah We wrote them into new songs with the hopes that they would continue to serve the church and since we put that Album out we've been traveling the country trying to share these with churches.

00:49

Yeah to help to help bring those songs Back at the same time with that project.

00:57

It's called. Are you weary? We wanted it to be an album that would come alongside

01:03

Those who are suffering? Yeah as a way to help encourage them to press on in the faith

01:10

To trust the Lord and just to frankly remember the promises of Scripture And at the same time in in these hymns

01:18

They do explicitly state the gospel and who Christ is and so we love getting to share these songs

01:25

Yeah, it sounds like it's a real passion I know I've been talking to both of you over the weekend and I mean as a nationally touring

01:32

Musicians and with children there's you know there's some challenges there But it has to be a passion

01:38

And it really comes through in your guys's music and right now you guys are fundraising for the next album correct

01:45

We're we'll link it up, but where can people donate or see? What this next album is gonna be about so if you go to give send go

01:54

Send go yep Kenny and Claire You'll find a video giving you some information about why we do what we do and and the album

02:03

Quickly the the album that we're working on now the goal is To to gather together songs that are rewritten hymns.

02:12

We have one on the Apostles Creed. We have a handful of songs about Lamenting sin and forgiveness, which we'll actually share one in a minute

02:21

But the idea is to recognize that God is genuinely merciful and that we are genuinely a people in need of mercy

02:30

Amen so one of our goals in writing worship music is to try to Draw our eyes to topics that maybe aren't as commonly represented in worship music

02:43

To bring us into some more of the historical doctrines the deep rich theology from those who have come before I love it, and you guys have an

02:52

EP out now. That's available, right? They can either purchase a CD I know you guys are on Apple and Spotify and all those places where you can spin it and hear it stream it

03:02

Where would they go if? Just to the what the same place for the website if they want to find out more about you or order anything

03:09

Kenny and Claire Kenny and Claire calm all right We'll put that on and you guys are gonna perform a song for us right here in In the little makeshift studio, so what are we gonna hear today?

03:20

So this one is called forgive us Lord. Okay. We were Wanting to write a song focusing on confession of sin

03:28

And we found an old one and a little hymnal that we have from the 1800s called all our sinful words and ways

03:35

And the only attribution to a songwriter is initials, and I don't know who the writer is we've been trying to research that but I hope this gentleman who has

03:46

Long not been with us isn't mad at what we've done But we mashed up his song of confession also with what we had written and so this is called forgive us

03:56

Lord and really quick question With just initials do we know that it was a gentleman? I mean

04:05

Fanny Fanny wrote a few hymns I'm just saying Okay Okay, we don't know for certain and that's actually one of our goals.

04:15

I know a guy who is a hymnologist Like I've been having some discussions with him, and he's also sent me to one of the seminaries that have it has a library

04:24
