Former Point of Grace Singer Heather Payne Releases Debut Solo Album
Former member of Grammy nominated group Point of Grace, Heather Payne released her debut solo album 'Sweet Exchange' this week. The 13 track album is a collection of hymns, anthems and worship songs in an updated style. Fellow Point of Grace singer Terry Jones sings on the track 'O, The Deep, Deep Love'.
"With a fresh take on the timeless hymns of the church, Sweet Exchange presents modern arrangements, new choruses, and sometimes-complete re-imaginations of these familiar classics" says Stylos Records. "If modern listeners ever thought the lyrics of hymns were stale, these presentations will draw them in and open both their hearts and minds."
After being on top of the Christian music scene for nearly 18 years as a founding member of Point of Grace, Heather decided to leave the group in 2008 and has enjoyed her life as a pastor's wife, educator and mother ever since.
"Emotions go just so far in worship. With the rich doctrine in hymns, truth sinks in," Heather says. "I remember when I was very young, and my mom used to let me stand on the pew beside her in church. She let me hold the hymnal, even though I couldn’t even read! I felt so big. I learned the hymns that way, just singing along. I want that for my kids now."
