The Psalms tell us over and over again to “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and I am so thankful for the beautiful music that has formed the rich heritage of worship music. I’ve shared this medley before, and although I’m disappointed it doesn’t include “In Christ Alone” or any of the other Getty hymns that I have come to love, it still does an amazing job of capturing “The Evolution of Worship Music.”
By David Wesley
