Much of the music I hear and sing to at service has a peaceful, joyous and at times a somber effect on me.
I really like listening to Fernando Ortega, Jim Brickman, Rich Mullins, Building 429, and Francesca Battistelli! I’ll have to check out some of the others. Thank you for the recommendations!
You're welcome!
