I first heard Lauren sing in confirmation. Really. Every year we get a CD with our confirmation curriculum from Faith Inkubators. I’ve always valued how they have done their best to put the Bible in tune with today’s music. They have an artists’ guild that has contributed to music in a variety of styles to make learning about faith more engaging for teens and their families.

One of those songs, The Grass Withers, written by Craig T. Olsen stayed with me. Maybe it was because Isaiah 40 was a memory verse from my childhood – but when I heard Lauren sing it I was immediately captivated. There’s such majesty and conviction in this piece. And yet, Lauren’s voice fills this song with a blessed assurance that all will be well when the Lord gathers the lambs in his arms. Though her schedule didn’t allow time to record with us (new album and baby this spring!) she and the folks at FaithInk were kind enough to donate the track for our album! Lucky us and lucky you!

I hope you’ll check out her website where music is “all in the family” with Lauren and her sisters. Find our more here: http://www.redpathonline.com
