Many of the authors and composers of the Zion’s Harp are unknown. Even though history does not record the names, these long-forgotten men who wrote of their love and devotion toward GOD, even on prison walls, surely were no less inspired than those who are widely acclaimed for their credentials. In fact, personal experiences of faith can give a depth to songs that cannot be matched by mere training. With that in mind, we are reminded to give thanks to GOD above all for such a rich musical inheritance.
