The third album from this Florida-based group is a blend of Mid-Eastern, Spanish and Celtic instruments supporting folk style melodies inspired by the Psalms and other Scriptures. If you have an affinity with folk melodies and a taste for Hebraic music played and sung with skill and purity, then I recommend these modern day psalms. The band includes a Messianic Jewish family with three daughters. They perform Messianic worship and dance accompanied by an organic mix of guitars, harp, lyre, oud, hand drums and flutes. "L'David Mizmore" is a lively first track and a good sample of the style and quality of the whole album. The title track is taken from Psalms 139, 13 and 16 backed by a beautiful blend of harp, pipes, and cello. Spiritual warfare and holiness are the themes of "Fall On Your Knees". This music needs several hearings, as one allows the gentle instrumental backing to bring to life the Davidic adoration of God expressed through Bible verses.
