These songs were written for worship on Sunday morning at Green Lake Presbyterian Church (now Crosspoint Churches) in Seattle, Washington. I invited some of my fellow musicians to come and play these songs in their simplest form so that we could have them available for people to take home and be encouraged with the Word of God and the truths of the gospel in their everyday. We recorded these songs live the first weekend in June of 2004 in the parlor at our house. I led with the guitar and Rick Jensen added his warm harmonies and joined me at times with his guitar and percussion. My wife Sarah contributed her sweet voice as well, and Stacey Solano played the recorder and the flute beautifully. Luke Brodine engineered and recorded the session from the garage, and on the last song led us on the piano while Sarah (then Matthias) Brodine engineered for the first time. A year later, Rick picked up the project again. He gave his time to edit, mix and master the entire session that makes up this record. These people are some of the best people I know and have been very generous with their time and effort. It was a joy to share all of our gifts to make this music. Special thanks to Vicki Jensen for her support behind the scenes. Sarah and I are excited to share our home, our parlor and even some of the sounds from our back porch. Welcome. I hope you are blessed and that our Father is glorified. – Nathan Partain
