Welcome to the Hymn of Heaven devotional series. Each daily reading coincides with a different song from my album, Hymn of Heaven. These songs were written to inspire worship in listeners' hearts, and I pray this series does the same as you read along. Huge thanks to my friend and pastor, Benji Horning, for helping me bring these thoughts to life. We pray you are blessed!
