On the afternoon of Sept. 22, 2001, Carolyn wrote “O God, Our Words Cannot Express,” a hymn that was used by many churches on that evening and in the days that followed. It was published in the Presbyterian Outlook at the time, and was mentioned in USA Today and The Wall Street Journal, lots of magazines and was on national PBS-TV twice in the USA and the BBC-TV in the United Kingdom.
Carolyn’s two books of hymns are Gifts of Love: New Hymns for Today’s Worship (Geneva Press) and Songs of Grace: New Hymns for God and Neighbor (Upper Room Books). She and her husband Bruce are the co-pastors of Limestone Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware. A complete list of her hymns can be found at www.carolynshymns.com
