For someone who needs encouragement after a hard year

Matthew Smith’s QuietHymns is an album of comfort and longing, with five familiar traditional-melody hymns (including “Be Still My Soul,” “Here Is Love,” “It Is Well With My Soul”) and five hymns with new melodies. Highlights include “God Himself” and “Let Me Find Thee.”

For someone you want to introduce to Indelible Grace

Whether it's your pastor, worship leader, or someone else in your life who you want to introduce to Indelible Grace, there's no better starting point than the double-disc ​The Hymn Sing: Live In Nashville. Indelible Grace founder Kevin Twit weaves in comments between hymns in front of the sold-out crowd, drawing the listener in to understand these hymns and the Savior they point to. Favorites such as "Arise My Soul Arise" and "Come Ye Sinners" crackle with renewed energy, while "Dear Refuge Of My Weary Soul" and "I Need Thee Every Hour" are tender and moving.

For the Americana, folk, or country fan

Working with multi-instrumentalist Kenny Hutson (Crowder, Vigilantes of Love), Matthew Smith’s Hiding Place is an album filled with mandolin, pedal steel, banjo, dobro, and upright bass. Beginning with the American folk song “Wayfaring Stranger” and continuing with acoustic-driven versions of Indelible Grace favorites such as “Jesus I Come” and “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go,” this collection also includes traditional hymns “O How I Love Jesus” and “What Wondrous Love Is This.”

For the rock fan
From the opening strains of "You Are The Light," to the Mike Campbell-like guitar of "The War," to the moody title track, Watch The Rising Day is Matthew Smith's most rock-forward album of hymns. Also available on vinyl.

For the Christmas music fan
That person in your life who can't wait to start playing Christmas music, maybe even sneaking a listen in July? Your King Has Come is for them. This multi-artist project includes Indelible Grace artists such as Sandra McCracken, Matthew Smith, and Jeremy Casella. No "Jingle Bells" here – the album focuses on Christ, through traditional hymns like "O Holy Night" and "What Child Is This," plus originals "Joyful Fire" and the title track (drawn from Luke 2).
