Though, her lyrics aren’t some members’ cup of tea, this is an interesting development none the less.

on the matter?

Hoping to shed more light than heat..

The article seems to suggest that only a few of these re-discovered songs were re-worked by modern Christian artists and put out on CD. I’d prefer to read Crosby’s words for myself. I’d be more excited if they simply digitized these works and let us read her own lyrics. Of course, her estate wouldn’t make money if they did that …

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.

I remember the “discovery” of a huge amount (9000?) of unpublished Crosby poetry more than 25 years ago. It appears they have been discovered again. The lady wrote a lot of poetry; some was good and much was not.
