If We Dare to Hope

Renowned guitar virtuoso Bobby Fisher put together this lively collection of contemporary music for prayer and liturgy. Offering meaningful texts set to singable music, If We Dare to Hope celebrates the power of hope, the hope that — embraced by God's people — can transform the world.

Featuring great vocal and instrumental performances, these 12 devotional songs mix gospel, rock, contemporary and acoustic styles. "This Is the Day" is an energetic, R & B-style setting of Psalm 118, with great horn parts and a catchy chorus. "You Are the Way" takes a slower, softer approach, blending piano, oboe and children's choir in a lovely petition to Jesus: "show us the way, the way to love."

Other songs feature impressive solos for saxophone, trumpet and guitar, as well as well-written parts for recorder, tin whistle, strings and mandolin.
