Hide Me Prayer Guide
4 Days
"Hide Me" is Dante Bowe's “debut album” that reveals a mature sound and lyrics cultivated during a season of much prayer and rebuilding. Dante believes that raising the level of authenticity in music will cause cultures, generations, and denominations to unite in a worship movement by merging gaps and removing all boundaries. “The more I poured out my heart to God, the more He turned my words into praise. When I didn’t feel like rejoicing, I told God how I truly felt. His responses turned into music and revealed His wisdom, peace, and vision for the road ahead. He has been good to me. This album is an overflow from a deep well that never runs dry.“ 4-Day Prayer Guide By: Dante Bowe and Andrea Fisher
