Songs by Barri Armitage with lyrics poetically adapted from Scripture, and set to her new arrangements of traditional melodies. This compilation has 17 songs from her previous albums.

THE DAYS OF YOUR SORROW WILL END, FOR JOY WILL COME
IN THE MORNING OF GOD'S KINGDOM

My heartfelt gratitude goes to our Father in heaven, and His Son, Jesus Christ, Who gives us comfort even though we go through trials and grief in this age. God promises to draw near to the broken-hearted and never to allow more than we can take.

God’s plan of salvation gives hope that the days of our sorrow will end. Abundant joy awaits us in the resurrection on the Morning Christ returns to set up His Kingdom.

Dovesongs producer Barri Armitage has poetically adapted lyrics from Scripture and set them to traditional, classical, or original melodies. HE CARRIES US GENTLY has 16 songs compiled from Barri’s past albums.

These 16 songs feature the comforting voice of David Armitage, Jr. They assure us of God’s faithfulness to “carry us” through these turbulent times plus give us hope for His coming Kingdom.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to God, the Great Musician, Who gives us this hope and His help to put His Holy Scriptures into songs. I am also grateful to my son David for sharing his talent and the gifted musicians accompanying him.

In this album, I tell you the story of how God, the Source of all life and gifts, led me from writing poetry to poetically adapting Scripture with lyrics set to music, and subsequently to spoken songs with lyrics read to background music.

Only in hindsight have I seen His hand in the interventions to make this possible, including marriage to my beloved husband, Dave, whose voice can be heard on the Dovesong albums.

You will learn how God began preparing and training me from my early years. You will also hear samples of the works as I explain why analogies and details are so important in the craft of poetry and song writing.

These 14 songs of the heart encourage us through God’s Word to focus on heavenly treasures and yield to God, the Master Potter, Who changes our hearts to be like His.

In the Millennium, when the exiled Israelites return to their land, God will give them a willing heart. Then all can come to His Fountain for their thirst to be quenched.
