Stained Glass Republic

About Me

Hymns For the Unborn is music that is meant to be both cerebral and heartfelt. Its lyrics are both challenging and uplifting. Throughout the 12 tracks, the listener is regularly encouraged to let go of their surroundings and see past the obstacles of everyday life and experience the one thing that this four-piece band has found to be more real than anything: God's unflinching, life-changing love.
