We need songs sturdy enough to sing at the bedside of a dying friend. We need songs of comfort for the birth of a child. We need songs that we can share that inform our hearts and minds of what is true for the times when we can’t think true things for ourselves."-Sandra McCracken, Send Out Your Light: The Illuminating Power of Scripture and Song
