lyrics

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
and bids me to my father's throne,
makes all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare,
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear,
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
believe His words and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
My cup made full beyond my share.
Though filled with want in hours of need,
my hunger'd soul in prayer will feed.
Mid sorrows trial when wisdom fails
my heart in prayer with joy prevails.
In God's kind grace the weight I bear
has been made light, sweet hour of prayer!

STAY AWHILE
by Ryan Shea Smith

Ryan is a great singer/songwriter and I loved working with him on Rejoice. He captures a great jazz vibe on "Stay Awhile" and worked with the amazing horn man, Hans Teuber. Rulon Brown

"Smooth Out the Lines"
by Jonathan Kingham

I first heard Jonathan when he opened for Jonatha Brooke at the Showbox in Seattle. A stellar song writer, captivating performer, and astounding free-style rapper (I'm not kidding). Check out "Grace." Rulon Brown
