Peace Like a River

the long version

As a kid sitting on a pew week after week, I had no idea how important these great hymns would be to my faith. I miss the days when our songs were written to teach and preserve theology, rather than to become a radio hit. From the pen of great theologians like Martin Luther, to the songs of slaves sung to strengthen and remind each other of the peace and freedom to come, I hope the hymns I chose for this recording will remind you of the great truths they contain. - Message from Chris Rice - Container insert.
