Over the last few weeks, I've had the pleasure of visiting my old home church with my mother. My family has attended Beaver Creek Primitive Baptist for generations. The old time singing - shaped notes - sacred harp - what a beautiful sound. This is how the wonderful hymns were meant to be sung. What a sweet aroma flowing up to God our Father and Savior.

"I'll Fly Away"
"Power in the Blood"
"Be Thou Thy Vision"
