Music stirs the soul. Songs are powerful and can express our feelings when we can't find the words. The Psalms (Israel's hymnal) offer insight into the human condition, can help us express our wonder at God's goodness, or can support us in our times of failure or sadness.

William Jones examines selected Psalms that open the path for honest communication with God.
