Mike and Allie’s album O for a Faith is the overflow of a decade of original songs and re-tuned hymns. It is a project that started out as a glimmer in our eye when early in our ministry we began adapting hymns to be better received in the context of the local church. We used our songs and they were well received as both congregational and offertory songs, but as time went on and other songs were played week in and week out many of our songs got lost in the shuffle of every day life and ministry.
In creating our album we had the delight of drawing out our uniquely written songs and re-tuned hymns as a completed body of work, crafted as an offering to the Lord in order that he might be glorified.
We are proud to have produced this album out of First Presbyterian Church in Augusta, Georgia where we served in their worship ministry from 2013-2018. Co-Produced by Mike Murphy and Brandt Fincher, we literally had a pop up studio which we set up and tore down for 55 recording sessions in over 4 different locations for well over a year on the campus of our church. It was a grueling process with difficulties that we naively had no idea would come up. Yet God was faithful to complete all his good works through this project. And he is faithful still as we continue to experience little traces of his goodness as we commission this music out into the world.
The continued theme of Faith in our project is evident through many of the lyrics, but we have been most encouraged in the text Psalm 119:30-32 (ESV):
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me.
31 I cling to your testimonies, O Lord;
let me not be put to shame!
32 I will run in the way of your commandments
when you enlarge my heart!
Through the making of this album we have more than ever felt and understood that faith is both a gift and a choice. We delight in presenting this Album, O for a Faith as the missional aspect of our ministry and as a gift of love to you our dear listener. May it mean to you what it has meant to us and may you be encouraged to see more clearly Christ now and also Christ to come.
“Lord, give us such a faith as this | And then, whate’er may come | We will taste even here the hallowed bliss | Of our eternal home.”
