“I’m lost because I feel closest to you when I’m among a crowd.”
Each song on this album was written for a purpose. Most were inspired by a passage of scripture or a worship service theme. All were presented during online worship at Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church, during the pandemic of 2020. Dave often premieres new works at GIPC’s worship services. GIPC.org |
