Quite moving to local ears and even nice sounding to mine too, and the words are direct Scripture from Romans (I know some will flinch at a reference to the "Roman Road" but think sin, faith, salvation, sovereignty and you have the themes and verses for this recording.

The leading expert in this musical form, however, is a member of another religion. As of yet, Christian music here (according to this people group's traditions and forms) is in its infancy, so we have hired him to oversea quality control and put Scripture to words. He is renowned through this area and composes the scores to some of this country's films. Thus, a top quality prodict is produced that is in this group's heart-language and in a form that is very moving to this people group, that are still less than 1/2 of 1% Christian.
