During one exciting weekend in March 2009 we made the recordings of our selected songs; you may look at the pictures in the media center in order to reexperience this (for us) extraordinary event.

Most of the songs were recorded in the Martinsschule, however, we decided to add two live records that expressed a very special mood from a concert prior to the recording. The title of the CD is part of a song that we enjoy to sing regularily, a version of Psalm 121 set to musics. It begins as follows: "I lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
