Healer of My Heart

All of us experience times of sorrow, pain, and disappointment.  Thankfully, we don’t have to go through those times alone.  Scripture says that  God “will never leave us nor forsake us” (Deuteronomy 31); and further, that He will heal our broken hearts and bind up our wounds (Psalm 147). Our goal in this album is to bring hope to all of us, especially those who are hurting.

Songs such as “Friend of a Wounded Heart” and “How Deep the Father’s Love”  reassure us of God’s presence and His peace. And confidence is built as we hear that while “Sometimes He Calms the Storm”, other times He calms us as we walk through the storm. Our faith journey is not free of trials, but when we trust him completely, our testimony can be ”My Faith Still Holds” and our voices can declare that He is “Honored, Exalted, and Glorified” because of His faithfulness to us!

Many musical styles are found in this collection – from the classic “Every Valley” and the gorgeous a cappella “For God So Loved the World” to the stirring praise of “We Enter Your Gates” and “We Sing Worthy”. And you will love the title song “Healer of My Heart” as well as the beautiful setting of “Come to Jesus” (also known as “Untitled Hymn”).  Bottom line . . . you will be refreshed and blessed as you enjoy the uplifting sounds of the Choir on this album!

“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

 

NEW for FALL 2022!

In his song “Were It Not for Grace”, composer Phill McHugh expresses a thought we’ve all had a time or two . . . where would we be without God’s grace? He suggests we may be “wandering down some pointless road to nowhere, with our salvation up to us”! Thank God, we don’t have to rely on our good works or our own righteousness to enjoy God’s grace! In this album, you’ll find songs of encouragement and comfort as well as those of joyful, thankful praise.  You’ll hear about grace from Peter’s point of view in “Peter’s Song” – describing Christ’s forgiveness of his denial.  Snippets of favorite hymns – A Mighty Fortress, Holy, Holy, Holy, and All Hail the Power are woven into “With A Shout”, and the stirring rendition of the hymn “Redeemed” will certainly lift your spirit!  Tears are likely to flow as you listen to “My Alabaster Box” and “He Will Hold Me Fast”. But vibrant praise will have you singing along on “Chain Breaker” and thanking God that “Grace Wins” every time in the war between guilt and grace. Gratitude will well-up, too, when you hear “He Forgives and Forgets” and “Grace Flows Down”. And the favorite spiritual “Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger” reminds us that one day we’ll leave this world for a Heavenly home – “goin’ there to see my Savior who shed for me His precious blood”, making God’s wonderful grace available to each of us! “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”  Ephesians 2:8-9  

On a sparkling winter day, the 170 voices of the National Christian Choir went to the mountain!  ThorpeWood Lodge – a beautiful setting in the Catoctin Mountains, just outside of Thurmont, MD and not far from Camp David – provided the backdrop for a praise-filled afternoon as the singers lifted their voices to honor God! Snow-covered hills and towering trees could be seen through the windows as sounds of exaltation rang out from the rafters of the rustic lodge. Then with the January sun waning, the Choir’s ensemble, “2nd Edition”, gathered around the soaring stone fireplace to share a poignant a cappella rendition of “Mary, Did You Know” – a fitting close to a meaningful day of musical worship. And now you can be right there with us for this “mountaintop experience” through this DVD. We pray that you will be blessed as you watch and listen.
