End-Time Bible Singing Revival in commemoration of King Hezekiah

In about 722 B.C. King Hezekiah of Judah held a Bible Singing Revival in restoring temple worship which was abolished.
II Chronicles 29:30 which reads: "Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise
unto the LORD with the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed
their heads and worshipped." Read about King Hezekiah II Kings 18-20, II Chronicles 29-32, Isaiah 36-39

KIng David the second king of Israel spoke these words approximately 1000 B.C. in II Samuel 23:2 "The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue."

Below is the artist's short biography and some thoughts from scripture to share!

Francisco Bawdon Rivera has been playing the guitar and performing music for forty-six years. In the 1960,s in the Battle-Of-The-Bands playing rock'n'roll, to the 1970's writing his first Christian songs, then in the 1980's learning to compose Bible Scripture to song while serving a five and one/half year prison term for burglaries committed to support a drug habit acquired during the flower-child era, which was in the 1960's. This music which he calls Psalmistyle Christian Music is Bible Scripture sung word-for-word accompanied with musical instruments. It is not just for Christians. Psalmistyle music is for all people. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."John 3:16 That means His word the "Holy Bible" is a love letter to everybody in the world, with no exceptions, every person! Psalmistyle music is music, melody and God's word.
Listen and you will remember!

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God. Romans 10:17

And He said unto them, "Take heed what you hear; with
what measure you use, it shall be measured to you and
unto you that hear shall more be given." Mark 4:24

Jesus said seven times in the book of Revelation, "He
that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto
the churches." Revelation 2:7,11,19,29 and 3:6,13,22
