Proverbs 27:2 tells us: "Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth". In light of this counsel, please
read what a member of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra has to say
about Sing The Word®:
"The Heavens Declare", from the very musical Harrow family has very quickly become one
of my favorite CD's from any genre. And I have to say that
being a member of the NY Philharmonic, I am very particular about
what I listen to when I am not performing myself. The musical and
production quality alone should place this CD at the top of
Billboard's charts and were it not for the fact that it is devised
for a very different purpose and audience, I believe it would be.
And though I could recommend this CD for purely musical reasons
alone, the most compelling quality is how fully God's anointing
permeates it. I have found it to be a real help in not only
retaining the scripture verses used in the songs, but also as a
faith builder and strengthener in times of trial. I also love the
fact that I can sing the songs with my three year old and
can actually look forward to extended car travels with the CD in
the car! I greatly look forward to future musical and spiritual
endeavors from the Harrow family. I really can't stress enough how
much we all have enjoyed this CD and the others that you have
made."
Roger Nye, bassoon
New York Philharmonic Orchestra
Roger has said so much for us. Now, let me quickly explain
the many benefits you will receive from Sing The Word®:
It is a well known
fact that music causes memorization to take place naturally and
easily. But even more than this, what if I were to tell you that our music
allows you to experience what Psalm 1 says about a righteous man:
'in the law of the Lord, he meditates
day and
night'. To meditate means to speak to oneself, to
"groan", to utter, while musing over
something. This was an ancient practice among the Hebrews, and
we would do well to learn from it. Meditating on the
Word is more than an intellectual exercise. You experience
the Scripture in a personal way as you speak it aloud and "chew" on
it.
We are convinced that learning Scripture as you sing it aloud
is an incredibly effective way to meditate on the Word.
And we
believe children (and their parents) should be practicing what the
Bible commands us to do!
WHAT IF you not only speak the Word
aloud to yourself, but SING it aloud with music that paints a
"picture in sound" of the very words you are singing?
Music which fits the words and enhances your understanding and experience of the Scripture! Remember that David
himself composed psalms to be sung, and accompanied by a
variety of instruments.
WHAT IF
the musical accompaniment uses a
glorious
array of instruments and styles from around the world to broaden
your perspective of God's kingdom?
WHAT IF
the music skillfully portrays the Scriptures so that you can not only memorize the words easily, but
feel the impact of the words as you sing?
THAT'S NOT ALL!
WHAT IF
the music develops a greater artistic
sensitivity in your child (and you, for that matter) because it employs authentic
classical, folk, ethnic and jazz influences? You see, at the very same time your child and you are
memorizing and meditating on the Word of God, you are also enhancing
and developing
your aesthetic sensibilities for music!
Which one of us doesn't desire our children to mature in this area?
Shouldn't their listening choices grow beyond the standard fare
inundating the air waves? Of course, we don't allow our kids
to eat French fries for every meal - yet, we may be
unknowingly feeding them only
musical fast food! It's much better to offer them a
balanced musical diet.
Does this mean our music
is dull? Far from it! In fact, be prepared for your young ones to
jump and dance joyfully to many of our songs. And beware, you will
probably join them!
THAT'S NOT ALL!
WHAT IF
you
as a family could do something enjoyable that would
bring you together in a unique way? The plain truth is that
singing together brings you together. In God's eternal
wisdom, He has caused His people to sing together for centuries in
their gatherings. Singing the Word of God together brings life into
your souls and into your homes!
