With all my unanswered questions I realise that God is God and is always worthy of praise”. Ish is joined on the album by special guests Dave Bilbrough, Cathy Burton, Aaron Frith, Andy Piercy and Martin Smith, who add their familiar voices alongside Ish on songs which are congregational, heartfelt, uplifting and transcend the generations in worship. “Some of the most wonderful music comes out of the darkest pain. My friend Ishmael’s new album, ‘Ishmael’s Songs & Hymns’ is amazing – songs of hope that have been hammered out in the furnace of tears and ‘God, I won’t let you go’ faith. I was moved to tears as I listened. Buy it and be encouraged and blessed”. Jeff Lucas
