"The Integrity Scripture Memory Songs series is a great collection of songs that are singable, pleasant to listen to, and easy to memorize -- making Scripture memorization completely painless (I don't know about you, but I was required to memorize Scripture weekly as a little girl and found it stressful). I own nearly every CD in the Scripture Memory Songs series, but "Healing" is my favorite. On most of the albums, there are several songs I like, but some that aren't that great. Don't get me wrong -- the words are great, I just don't like the way the song is written or sung. But Healing has a fabulous group of musicians, vocalists, and songwriters; this album is absolutely terrific. I love the first track, "A Joyful Heart" -- I sing the song or say this verse to myself whenever I'm feeling down. "If My People" is a great reminder that we need to humble ourselves and seek the Lord and His help, depending on Him for guidance and forgiveness. "Come, Let Us Return" has a similar theme. "Heal Me, O Lord" and "He Heals the Brokenhearted" are both beautiful and spirit-cleansing. "Live for Righteousness" reminds us that we are healed by Christ's sacrifice, therefore we must die to sin. "Every Good and Perfect Gift" is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, however, I don't particularly like this musical arrangement. I'm also not fond of "Attend to My Words" taken from Proverbs. The verses are wonderful, but the music is kind of goofy-sounding. My apologies to Don Moen, who wrote the song. However, the final track on the disc, "By His Wounds" is AMAZING!! A gorgeous treatment of Isaiah 53:4-5, this song is so beautiful that I put it on repeat and listen to it 20 times in a row. I never get tired of it. I think that the music is powerful alone, but the Scripture is mind-blowing. Take the time to read this passage today. It is definitely one to memorize."
