Becoming Liturgy

Becoming Liturgy  is a collection of 28 original acoustic based liturgical songs.  If you’ve seen Nate in a congregation or worship setting there’s a good chance you’ve sung a few of these songs with him.  These songs come from a Lutheran perspective and tradition with an accessibility that lends them to a wide musical interpretation be it a praise band or an acoustic duo.
