5 Healing touch (the theologians' prayer)
8 Lord, where did you leave your hands?
An
album of psalms for the
21st century by singer/songwriter Godfrey
Rust, released in May 2018, raising money
for completing two
schools in a troubled
area of Nigeria.
Listen
to or buy it here. Read Tony Cummings' Cross Rhythms
review here and an extended interview
with Godfrey about the album here.
Lyrically it's something of a storm of words: stories, imagery, humour, wordplay on a journey through our universal concerns of faith, hope and love and their shadows - doubt, disillusionment and rejection - echoing many of the themes of the ancient Jewish psalms.
Charitably,
all income from the album goes to help
complete the building
of two schools in
Jos in the troubled north of Nigeria.
The form and background of PRAYERS IN TIME are explained in the introduction and acknowledgments.
Released in May 2018, this is Godfrey's first album recording since Forgiven Like This, the third album by Shattock and Rust in 1995.
