Jesus, Lover of My Soul [Alf:00-36865]

One would be hard-pressed to find a more loved hymn than Charles Wesley's. Russell Mauldin arranged it with a favorite of contemporary Christian music and the result is a refreshing mix of old and new styles. Wesley's hymn in a somber, chant-like setting introduces us to the more relaxed syncopated feel of the newer music for the similar lyrics. Both speak to the comforting nature of God in times of trouble. Related scripture: Isaiah 25:4; 2 Corinthians 1:3,5; Galatians 2:20
