Here is a new setting of a gospel favorite. Usually sung to a very rhythmic and robust tune, Rebecca Mullen and Stewart Harris put a very different spin on these well-loved lyrics. Flowing lines replace the familiar dotted rhythms, adding focus and meaning to the expressive text. Washed in the Blood is especially appropriate during Lent or Holy Week. The Accompaniment on
Lite Trax 2003, Vol. 63-2 (MD5200) contributes to the slightly contemporary feel. Great for blended worship.
