Reformed Praise has just released a new CD, “Merciful to Me“.  Our congregation has enjoyed a number of their modern hymns over the years, most notably “The Wondrous Cross“.  When they began, most of what was done in the form of audio was raw and intended to help one grasp the tune.  “Merciful to Me” [...]
