In a Little While

Recently, I’ve been enjoying a new cd in my quiet time and as background music for my daily tasks. It’s father and son team Mark and Stephen Altrogge’s In a Little While. Now, I’m the last blogger who should be doing a music review. So, to avoid saying anything stupid, I’m going to refrain from extended comments on this album and simply say: “It’s great, and every woman (and man) reading this blog should purchase it.”

Better than my own thoughts, you can take Sovereign Grace worship leader Bob Kauflin’s word that these guys write songs where “Biblical truth [is] combined with creative and engaging music.”

My favorite song on the album is their version of the hymn, “Whate’er My God Ordains is Right.” Here’s Mark Altrogge on why they chose to include this song:

My daughter Beth had heard the hymn "Whate'er My God Ordains is Right" quoted in a message.  She has suffered from migraines for years and God has used this trial in her life to build a deepening trust in his wise, loving, sovereign plan for her life. She said the message and this hymn really encouraged her.  I'd never heard the hymn before, and when I read the lyrics, I was deeply affected by the trust in our sovereign God which this hymn expresses. From time to time, in the process of working on the song and recording it, God has brought me to tears by the truth it expresses.
