I have it. I used it when leading music at my campus RUF back in the day.

We still use these songs off the site (we do some of the others but get them from a different source):
God be merciful to me
O day of rest and gladness
O worship the King
Dear Refuge of my weary soul
O love that will not let me go

Yep. We use it, in addition to hymns from Red Mountain Church (whose vibe is similar, but whose music is better, in my opinion).

My church uses quite a bit of Indelible Grace music. I appreciate the endeavor to use many hymns and hymn themes, but to put them to easily singable music. I can read music and spent years in choirs, but many "Trinity Hymnal" hymns still fill me with the dread of difficult (or ugly) tunes. On the other hand, sometimes newer tunes can be near the line of sing-songy. I would love to see a renaissance of musically trained composers in the Church, so that local churches could compose their own songs fitted to their needs. Updating some Psalms tunes would also make a comeback of Psalm-singing feasible!
How did I get so far off-topic...

I lead worship at my church and I love using the RUF hymns, I too love Red Mountain Music, and am becoming a big fan of Sojourn who recently did alot of lesser known Isaac Watts hymns
