Another SONG Thread: What Still Moves You?

[Steadfast]

We presently have a thread that talks about the 'songs' that have been worn out and desperately NEED to be retired. Seems to be a great, fun thread. Had a lot of references to some 'old' songbook type songs (which, by the way, in spite of having kicking music I still love most of the old songs) and I noticed that there was a lot of fondness for some of them.

In that same vein of thought, I'm wondering the following:

* What ONE song still moves you after all these years?

You know what I mean... that one that just 'does it' every time you sing it... it still captivates your heart and moves you deep inside. That ONE song that still moves you to tears or makes you rejoice.

This should be interesting to say the least!

MINE? I love 'Amazing Grace' but probably the one that always reaches in my spirit is "Sweep Over My Soul".

[freeatlast]

Just can't get enough of "Friend of God"

LOL

[AmazingGrace]

Just can't get enough of "Friend of God"

LOL

BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!!!!:stirpot

[Ron]

"More than wonderful" & "Jesus is the best thing" moved me to tears when I first came to God 25 years ago & it still does today!

[philjones]

Steady,

the songs that still move me in spite of their oft hearing are usually those that take me back to the point where grace intersected my sin and forgiveness met my repentance... Songs like Mercy Came Running, When God Ran, songs about mercy, forgiveness, restoration.

I probably am not that different from everyone else. I think most of us are moved by and love songs that relate closely to our life and salvation experiences.

[Monkeyman]

Desperate For You

[Scott Hutchinson]

Are you washed in the blood ? The rugged cross and such the old hymns move me.

[Barb]

I would have to agree with Bro. Ron...Jesus Is The Best Thing sung by anyone, but especially if I hear it sung by Rev. James Cleveland...wow!!

[RandyWayne]

"This Blood" as sung by Carmen (from The Champion CD) holds a special place for me.

[Cindy]

It Is Well With My Soul.

[Monkeyman]

Ooooh, " Jesus Is The Best Thing" was a re-make of woooorldy music, Gladys Knight & The Pips....tsk tsk tsk! *just teasing Ron* (it was a re-make though)

[philjones]

I would have to agree with Bro. Ron...Jesus Is The Best Thing sung by anyone, but especially if I hear it sung by Rev. James Cleveland...wow!!

I DO love that song by James Cleavland. I heard it for the first time in 1976 off of a recording of a live event.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Rock of ages.Jesus Saves,There is a fountain filled with blood.
Down from His glory.The Love Of God.

[Cindy]

That Same Blood.

[TalkLady]

I still love "I Give You Jesus"..."He Rescued Me"..."Amazing Grace"...I can't get the YouTube option to work for "I Give you Jesus"....I like the real Oldies like "Sweet Hour of Prayer"..."Near to the Heart of God"..."Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"...

Here's links to websites with many Oldies:

I still love "I Give You Jesus"..."He Rescued Me"..."Amazing Grace"..

He rescued me is a great song.

[dizzyde]

It's not a old one, but one that gets to me everytime I hear it or sing is "heart of worship". Also "crucified with Christ", and "in Christ alone" (both songs).

[dizzyde]

One that I always have loved is "peace in the midst of the storm".

[Bro-Larry]

WoW!! This thread reallly took off.

Great Is Thy Faithfullness; Noone Ever Cared for Me, Like Jesus; In Christ Alone.

He rescued me is a great song.

I had to stop singing that song in church because I'd start cyring "sure as the world"...

[Cindy]

Redeemer (I know my redeemer lives). Sung by big-lar.

[TalkLady]

One that I always have loved is "peace in the midst of the storm".

I love that one, too....and Bro. Murrell Ewing's song "Where did the storm go? Who stopped the rain"?..Or is "Where did the wind go"?...I love songs about God calming the storms and giving peace...Like "Master of the Wind".."The Blood's Still There"..."Peace in the Valley"..."The Only Real Peace"...

[Bro-Larry]

Thanks , Cindy. That's very kind of you.

[TalkLady]

I love to hear Vicki Yohe sing, "He's Been Faithful"...That's a tearjerker.

I Need You More really moves me and also Beulah Land.

There are actually many songs that move me. It just depends on what I'm going through at the time.

They pull out the big guns when they sing "Lord I Love You" by Nancy J. Grandquist. That songs moves me to the core of my being every time it's sung and played.

Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross,
There A Precious Fountain;

Flowed From Calvary's Mountain.

Sheds Its Beams Around Me.

Bring The Scenes Before Me;
Help Me Walk From Day To Day,
With Its Shadows O'er Me.

.....this was the first song we played ....and played..... and played ..... in the Piano Series (CLC - Goodine).... I think JCMers may have also wore this one out - on the piano at least!

The words are good though!

[TalkLady]

I had one of those "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" Hymn books (not sure that is the exact title) back in 2nd grade and I remember playing "Near the Cross", too - and "Rock of Ages"..."What a Friend"...I probably still have that book somewhere. That memory makes me want to go and look for it right now!

Great song! The one that gets me all the time is "Fields of Mercy" by Oasis.

[TalkLady]

"I Don't Regret a Mile, that I Traveled for the Lord."

Don't get me to talking about that song. That's a favorite Oldie, too..Someone posted the YouTube of The Goodman's singing it and it really brought back the memories.

Did you ever hear Becky Fenders version of "Peace in the Midst of the Storm".
That album (yes, I said album :toofunny) got wore out when I was a teenager.

[Tina]

We have come into this place, to magnify the Lord and worship Him
We have come into this place, to magnify the Lord and worship Him
We have come into this place, to magnify the Lord and worship Him
Let us worship Him, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

~~~~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, There's just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus, Like the fragrance after the rain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away, but there's something about that name.

~~~

God is so good to me,
He is so good to me,
More than this world could be,
He's so good to me,
His spirit came to me,
and gave me victory,
God is so good to me,
I can't complain.
~~~~~

I Love Him too much, to fail him now
Too much to break my vow
I promised the Lord, that I would make it somehow
I Love Him too much, to fail him now.

There are more, but my son wants a bedtime story... back later.

No, I never heard that version....Thanks to rgcraig, Mapleleaf, Tina and all others who've posted these wonderful songs.

This thread reminds me of this verse:

James 5:13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

......Hey, sometimes it helps to sing those psalms when you're afflicted and you don't feel merry - then by faith you can become merry.

:happydance

[rgcraig]

I love that too.. I had one of the most awesome touches of God while singing that song in a worship service once... I will never forget it..


I love "Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know" and "Jesus..Jesus... there's just something about that Name" as well...

Yes, I love those two also!

I do miss singing these songs!

[Tina]

I've been on the mountain with Jesus
I've been in the valley so low
But not one time has He failed me
When to Him with my burdens I go

Let me walk with you Jesus
Don't ever leave me alone
For without You I could never
No, never make Heaven my home

Lord you found me, when I was so lonely
You found me, when I was so blue
You found me, when no one could help me
And I didn't know just what to do

So me walk with You Jesus.
Don't ever leave me alone.
For without You, I could never
No never make Heaven my home.

Probably the first time I heard this song was way back in the 70's and a little ole black Lady Evangelist by the name of Willie Johnson used to sing it. We used to have her record for many years and it was on there. I have sung it many times since and it blesses me always. (not so sure about those who are listening lol)

[rgcraig]

"Peace In The Midst of the Storm" holds a special place in my heart.

My grandpa was slipping from this world to glory and we sang this as we stood around his bed and you could feel the peace in that room. And mind you - we have some awesome singers in my family!

I remember Sis. Willie Johnson, she was holding a revival at our church in Dallas when she laid hands on me and prayed for me I was healed of epilepsy.

p.s. I also loved that beautiful cape she wore.

[bishoph]

She was indeed a powerful woman of God! Many many miracles, and many souls saved by her ministry.

I wish I could have know "Sis. Willie Johnson" from the comments I've read here over the years. Where was she from?...Is she still living? Tell me more about her. Do we need to start another thread or is there one already?

[Cindy]

Oh she was Bro. Phil. I was just a kid but I have never forgotten her. You know really back then our church was predominatly white, but that lady sure was allowed by our wonderful pastor to come and hold revival. She could preach. And as bishop said many miracles and people filled with the Holy Ghost.

[bishoph]

I do not know if there is a thread specifically devoted to Sis. Johnson or not, however she was from WV and in her final years attended Billie Cole's church in Charleston. (If my memory serves me right........she went home to be with the Lord in the early 80's)

[Wink]

You are the love of my life gets me. I can be on the platform trying to be suave(just kidding) and that song breaks me up every time. Its such a personal vertical prayer song!!

And..... Jesus I Love You is a great one for me

[Cindy]

I wish I could have know "Sis. Willie Johnson" from the comments I've read here over the years. Where was she from?...Is she still living? Tell me more about her. Do we need to start another thread or is there one already?

Well I can only tell of my experience of her. I was just a kid. She was an evangelist that was of mixed race. She wore a white skirt and blouse and a beautiful black and white silk cape. She sang and preached and many people were healed, as was I. And also many came to the Lord through her ministry.
I don't know if she is still living I think she is probably gone on to be with Jesus. I am not sure how old she was then but this was back in the 60's. And I don't remember where she was from. Our church was Emmanuel UPC church in Dallas with Bro. Paul Hosch as pastor.

[bishoph]

I remember Bishop Karl Smith of Columbus, OH with his unique style of talk/sing with their choir "In The Upper Room With Jesus" now that was some powerful singing!

[TalkLady]

You are the love of my life gets me. I can be on the platform trying to be suave(just kidding) and that song breaks me up every time. Its such a personal vertical prayer song!!

And..... Jesus I Love You is a great one for me

I love that thought - vertical prayer and praise...It's not just singing about our troubles and trials but praising Him and telling Him our love for Him. Isn't much of the book of The Psalms about praising Him? Most of them are not about complaints or telling Him about what we need or WHINING - but it's about HIM and who HE is and about giving Him glory and magnifying His name. When we do that, the complaints and whining are overshadowed by His presence.

I love this chapter:

Psalm 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

[AmazingGrace]

You are the love of my life gets me. I can be on the platform trying to be suave(just kidding) and that song breaks me up every time. Its such a personal vertical prayer song!!

Yea,,, but you had to add that "vertical" part in there didntcha?!?!? LOL

Just kidding! Awesome songs mentioned here... well at least the ones that I am not too young to remember... a lot of these songs these old timers are mentioning are like greek to me! But thats ok... :shhh

I also love "I Want to Hear You Welcome Me" from that old book.

A shouting song that my wife and I sing that always moves me, as well as our church, is "Goodbye, Hallelujah I Am Gone."

I Must Tell Jesus.

[Coonskinner]

Many times alone in prayer, I have finished my prayer time with "I Love Him Too Much to Fail Him Now," sung in the first person.

I love the second verse...

"I told Him, that I loved Him
It was easy to say
But harder to prove it, when temptation came my way
What good are broken promises, I counted them but loss
When I got a glimpse of true love,
Hanging on a rugged cross"

[Coonskinner]

Another I have to mention that always moves me is "Unfinished Task."

[AmazingGrace]

Yall got some old song books up in here!!!!!!!! ;)

Nah seriously some good songs and a ton I have never ever heard of! I guess our church was ummm either way behind or too progressive.. I would have to hope the latter... We did sing On Christ the Solid Rock at all of our Jessie Dixon concerts we did... so I have heard that one.. but we were also blessed with many songwriters in our church and I honestly think we did away with song books at least 20 yrs ago and maybe even possibly longer.

Ain't God a wonder!!!

This thread is great and brings back SOOOOOOOO many memories of great services and spiritual environments.

I suspect you're talking about the Sunday School boy being mauled by dogs when you mentioned the 'story'?

Speaking of 'remember', Wink... Our folks still talk about a message you preached here back near the 'genesis' of your Evangelizing when you preached (at least what they called it): "My Mom and Dad Ruined Me"

Talked about how your folks played the Rambos albums over and over and how, later, those nights in clubs, etc., were ruined by songs like "Don't Let Me Walk Too Far From Calvary" running through your memories.

[Wink]

that is one of the best ever

i need thee

[MrsBOOMM]

There are many songs that still move me, I have a great fondness of music and music does get thru to me in a way that not much else can This is one of my favorite hymns.

THE LOVE OF GOD
1
THE LOVE OF JESUS TO ME IS GREATER
THAN ANYTHING ELSE I’VE EVER KNOWN
IT REACHES DEEPER, THAN ANY SIN STAIN
IT REACHES HIGHER THEN HEAVEN’S THRONE

CHO
THE LOVE OF GOD IS MORE TO ME
THAN ALL THIS WORLD COULD EVER BE
IT REACHES DOWN FROM
THE THRONE OF GLORY
AND SETS THE VILEST SINNER FREE

2
IT BROUGHT THE SAVIOR
FROM HEAVEN’S GLORY
TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR A WORLD OF SIN
THO’ GOD OF HEAVEN, HE CONDESCENDED
TO PROVE TO YOU THAT HE IS YOUR FRIEND

3
IT GIVETH COMFORT TO THOSE IN SORROW
IT BRINGETH PEACE TO A TROUBLED SOUL
THE LOVE OF JESUS GOES IN THE BY-WAYS
TO SEEK THE SINSICK AND MAKE THEM THOLE

[Sunni]

Love this thread!!
One of my time-tested favorites is, "The Blood Will Never Lose It's Power."
Also, believe it or not, "Jesus Loves Me This I Know"....

[Joseph Miller]

that is one of the best ever

i need thee


I include it in pray a lot when it is just me and God talking. I need him. I will never amount to anything without him in my life. Even if I never preach another sermon I can't live with God. It is not about preaching good sermons or impressing people with knowlegde, but when the crowd is gone I NEED God in my life.

I remember one time Bro Murrell Ewing was in our district preaching a meeting. He sang before he preached on The Love Of God. He started singing Jesus Love Me, and the place just melted. God's presence filled that house in such an awesome way. That was over 20 years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday.

[Joseph Miller]

Of course I will always love, All In Him. It is an all time favorite because it is a doctrinal song.

[Steadfast]

that is one of the best ever

i need thee


Aren't you the 'originator' of "Just In Case"?

[Wink]

speaking of Rambos
if That Isnt Love
Tears Will Never Stain the Streets Of That City

[MrsBOOMM]

I can feel the real presence of God just reading thru this thread. The message in these songs is very ministering...ist that a word? it is now lol

Great uplifting threat Bro. Steadfast! It feels good in my soul!

I sat in Bro. Ewing's home recently with several other preachers. Out of nowhere the Bishop Ewing started in singing, "Where Did The Wind Go?"

The prayer meeting lasted almost an hour.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....


I still write songs from time to time but just don't sing much anymore. My voice, after the surgery, simply can't find the range it once had.:shhh

What was the song of yours the Trimbles 'borrowed'?

[Sunni]

Songs like that NEVER cease to amaze me... Those were 'heart' songs where so many today are just... well... music.

I love the song "I See A Crimson Stream of Blood." Every time I hear it I can picture GT Haywood writing those words after a powerful time in prayer. ...May we never 'replace' these old hymns!!

[Steadfast]

What about "Promises" ... I love that song!

Or we could talk about "I Can Feel The Touch Of His Hand"!

I love the old Hinson songs. Kenny Hinson will always be one of my favorite singers.

[Steadfast]

here is the song i was telling you about

http://www.larrycarter.com/Site/Sunday_School_Girl.html

Oh, I remember "Sunday School Girl" well... love it.

There is another song you have, though, that 'messes me up' every time I hear it. Incredible song but I can't pull it up right now...

I was thinking it was "Just in Case" because I thought I remembered it being on a Trimble project.

[Joseph Miller]

What about Speak The Word Lord

[Wink]

the day after God took me back i was listening to the radio and heard
Mercy built A Bridge(hinsons)

Wow that song was so powerful to me at that point in my life
i rejoiced, cried and prayed in my car

[MissBrattified]

I sat in Bro. Ewing's home recently with several other preachers. Out of nowhere the Bishop Ewing started in singing, "Where Did The Wind Go?"

I love that song. I could listen to Bro. Ewing sing indefinitely.

[Steadfast]

"The Lighthouse"! What a song and NOBODY could do it like Kenny Hinson. Often imitated but never found an equal!

I always loved the Hinsons, Rambos and - on rare occassion - even the Hemphills.

[Wink]

I may be a little biased...how about
Jesus My hope is in you McGruders

[Steadfast]

Is that one you played on? :)

I'm thinking he played on a 'couple' of them! hehehehe:toofunny

[MissBrattified]

Bro. N.A. Haynes used to sing one called (I think) "The Next Step." I can't remember all the words...but something about, "...the next step I take could be on streets of purest gold, my next meal could be the marriage supper, of the Lamb, and the next [touch?] I feel, He could be blessing my soul."

Love that, and love to hear him sing it.

[Joseph Miller]

Hallelujah Meeting is a really good one.

That is one of my favorite altar call songs that i use

[MissBrattified]

that song was on the "special" album. I joined them just after it was released. Even tho i didnt play on that one it was one of my favorites.

There was a song that I think Shawnee wrote, called "Change Me, Lord." I really like that one. We do the chorus a lot as an altar song.

"Change me, Lord, I'm tired of who I am,
All my strength is gone, I need Yours to help me stand,
I don't want to give my life to You, then take it back again,
I just want to be like you, so change me, Lord.

[Wink]

great song!! i have used the chorus myself as an altar song

[Joseph Miller]

Anyone remember the song, I've Got A Right To Pray

[MissBrattified]

that song was on the "special" album. I joined them just after it was released. Even tho i didnt play on that one it was one of my favorites.

My Dad taught me that one (Jesus, my hope....), along with "I Just Started Living!" LOL!!!! Now there's one we sang into the ground. I sang "I Just Started Living" at Kenneth Phillips' church with my older sister when I was 9 or 10 years old. I freaked out when the spotlight came my way and couldn't remember a single lyric, so my sister stood up from the choir loft and started singing with me...hehe. Then I was able to finish. She dressed me that day, too...in some silly little hat...I'm sure that added to my nervousness.

[Wink]

r u talking about i've got a right to praise the Lord?
ive got a right to lift my voice?

[Joseph Miller]

I still like to hear, I Am Getting Ready To Leave This World

[Steadfast]

Oh, man... you folks have me started on great old Rambos songs now! Who can forget songs like...


"One More Valley"

"I'm Gonna Leave Here Shouting!"

"He Looked Beyond My Faults"

"Don't Take My Cross Away"

You are gonna make me cry!!!!!

I Can see the old turntable now with a stack of Rambo's Mom would always be on the sewing machine and singing along and dad would be over in his chair studying the bible with a brown paper bag of stove top made popcorn beside him. I would be holding my guitar and sitting in front of the stereo being moved in a very powerful way by the songs.

Wow i sure wish mom and dad were together still

[Steadfast]

Got it!

Wink, it was "I Won't Have To Face The Storm Alone" ... and it wasn't the Trimbles who 'borrowed' it but Tim Spell.

What an incredible song... still makes me cry like a sow losing her piglets!

You wrote one of your songs on your way into my city one day. I can't remember which exact song it was now but it, too, was a great song.

[Wink]

i used too much to gain at the end of a service the other night.

[MissBrattified]

One Day This Road Will Turn To Gold

Jesus Is the Sweetest Name I Know

Near the Cross

I Need Thee

I Love the lyrics to Rock of Ages. I think I was in my 20's before I ever truly understood what it means to "hide myself in Thee." Sitting at the piano in the living room, singing through the songbook, and those words hit me like I'd never even heard them before!

[Joseph Miller]

I close with Room At The Cross.

[Wink]

He cant stay way
he loves you too much
no matter where you are
your heart he longs to touch
thats the reason he keeps coming back
day after day
he just cant stay away
from you

wrote it on the way to your church on a sunday afternoon

TRUE STORY:

Talking about 'old songs' has got my mind running like a sanctified whirlwind tonight... so I thought about something I just did at a funeral.

My daughter-in-law's Grandmother (a precious Saint) passed away a little over a year ago. She had been a faithful Saint for years until Alzheimers began to chew away at her memories.

She ended up in a nursing home and would seldom remember anybody. In her checkered mind her son (Jimmy) was three different people: Her husband, her married son and her infant baby. Alzheimers is so cruel at times.

Ironically, however, she always remembered me. She'd hold my hand and tell me about how much she loved me and my preaching (I can't believe I'm crying in the middle of the night at a stupid computer) but when I would turn the conversation towards God she would say, "Now, where does He live again?"

Even so, whenever we prayed she would talk in tongues and weep like a baby. She was, in every sense of the word, a precious Elder who was loved by all.

For her passing I prepared the eulogy and a funeral message but, when it came time to give the eulogy, I was overwhelmed and told the congregation through tears, "I could say so much. I could comfort you with words that would help us deal with the cruelty of this thing called Alzheimers but all that really needs to be said about [the Sister's name] and her 'condition' was said a long time ago in a song that takes on new meaning to me today."

And with that I simply started singing...

"I Shall Know Him
I Shall Know Him
As Redeemed By His Side I Shall Stand!
I Shall Know Him
I Shall Know Him
By The Prints Of The Nails In His Hands!"

God swept through that place like a river and the congregation stood to their feet and sang until our pain gave way to victory.

What a great God!

[Steadfast]

He cant stay way
he loves you too much
no matter where you are
your heart he longs to touch
thats the reason he keeps coming back
day after day
he just cant stay away
from you

wrote it on the way to your church on a sunday afternoon

Exactly! Another great song.

Oh, my goodness, Steadfast. Now I'm just sobbing. That's beautiful.

Yep... I seem to have something in my eyes, too... not sure 'Visine' will take care of it though.

Another 'crazy' thing that always happens when I leave a hospital room or nursing home with some of our precious elders is I generally weep all the way home singing...

"I have heard of a land on the far away strand,
’Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, where we never shall die,
’Tis a land where we never grow old.

Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old.

When our work here is done and the life crown is won,
And our troubles and trials are o’er;
All our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend,
With the loved ones who’ve gone on before."

I've only heard one sing this song. Our dear Pastor's wife here in the 90's.

IT'S WORTH IT ALL

WHEN WE ARE TRIED AND THINGS GO WRONG
WE SOMETIMES SAY "OH LORD HOW LONG?"
LET'S TRUST IN HIM AND WEAR A SMILE,
IT'S WORTH IT ALL TO BE HIS CHILD.

CHO:
I'S WORTH IT ALL TO BE HIS CHILD,
TO SERVE HIM THRU THE LAST LONG MILE,
IT'S WORTH IT ALL JUST TO FEEL HIS POWER
AND KNOW HE KEEPS US EVERY HOUR

ALTHOUGH WE BEAR REPROACH AND SHAME,
IT'S WORTH IT ALL FOR HIS DEAR NAME,
THE TIDES OF LIFE MAY RISE AND FALL BUT THE
LOVE OF GOD IS WORTH IT ALL

WHEN HERE ON EARTH OUR RACE IS RUN,
WE SEE THE RAY'S OF THE SETTING SUN,
WHEN WE SHALL HEAR THAT FINAL CALL,
WE'LL TELL THE WORLD IT WAS WORTH IT ALL.


I love these threads.. Steadfast, thank you so much.

Ooooh, " Jesus Is The Best Thing" was a re-make of woooorldy music, Gladys Knight & The Pips....tsk tsk tsk! *just teasing Ron* (it was a re-make though)

Yes, it was first written by Jim Weatherly for Danny Thomas as a wedding anniversary for he and his wife...later recoirded by GK & the Pips.

"Peace In The Midst of the Storm" holds a special place in my heart.

My grandpa was slipping from this world to glory and we sang this as we stood around his bed and you could feel the peace in that room. And mind you - we have some awesome singers in my family!



Our family sang my Grandmother "Nonie's" favorite song as she drew her last breath - "Blessed Assurance"........ "This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior, all the day long......"

This holds a VERY special place in my heart!!!!


Another favorite oldie is "Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus" .... join me in the chorus........

"Jesus, Jesus, how I trust You. How I prove You o'er and o'er. Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus. Oh for grace to trust You more!!!"

[lad]

I love the old Hinson songs. Kenny Hinson will always be one of my favorite singers.

MINE TOO!!!

....especially.... "Look to Him"

".....I know someone Who knows it all, His Eyes see even that little sparrow fall...."

[Barb]

Our family sang my Grandmother "Nonie's" favorite song as she drew her last breath - "Blessed Assurance"........ "This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior, all the day long......"

"Jesus, Jesus, how I trust You. How I prove You o'er and o'er. Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus. Oh for grace to trust You more!!!"
We sang this with dad in hospice a week before he passed...

I sang the 2nd verse to him...

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that thou art with me
Wilt be with me to the end...

"The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me" is another that always does it for me.

My daughter-in-law's Grandmother (a precious Saint) passed away a little over a year ago. She had been a faithful Saint for years until Alzheimers began to chew away at her memories.

She ended up in a nursing home and would seldom remember anybody. In her checkered mind her son (Jimmy) was three different people: Her husband, her married son and her infant baby. Alzheimers is so cruel at times.

Ironically, however, she always remembered me. She'd hold my hand and tell me about how much she loved me and my preaching (I can't believe I'm crying in the middle of the night at a stupid computer) but when I would turn the conversation towards God she would say, "Now, where does He live again?"

Even so, whenever we prayed she would talk in tongues and weep like a baby. She was, in every sense of the word, a precious Elder who was loved by all.

For her passing I prepared the eulogy and a funeral message but, when it came time to give the eulogy, I was overwhelmed and told the congregation through tears, "I could say so much. I could comfort you with words that would help us deal with the cruelty of this thing called Alzheimers but all that really needs to be said about [the Sister's name] and her 'condition' was said a long time ago in a song that takes on new meaning to me today."

And with that I simply started singing...

"I Shall Know Him
I Shall Know Him
As Redeemed By His Side I Shall Stand!
I Shall Know Him
I Shall Know Him
By The Prints Of The Nails In His Hands!"

God swept through that place like a river and the congregation stood to their feet and sang until our pain gave way to victory.

What a great God!


Now you've done it...I'm sitting here, going to have to get up and go teach school in just a few minutes, and I'm bawling like a baby...

[Sweet Pea]

It just don't get much better than that, folks.

You are so right! It just don't get any better! ANY Murrell Ewing song is one of my favorites! :nod I remember years ago putting his latest album on the record player and moving the arm aside so that it would play over and over again. (I sure do love the "repeat" button on my CD player, now. :toofunny) Anyway, I had a new convert that I had picked up that morning to spend the day with me so that I could help her with her newborn and small child. She'd been there since about 8 that morning ..... just before my husband came home, she said..."those are beautiful songs, but could we PLEASE listen to something else for a while?" :toofunny That record had been playing for probably 9 hours. :toofunny

Steadfast, your "story" about the saint with alzheimers really moved me. I sat here and was moved to tears.... I knew a lady who suffered with this terrrible disease. Like your saint, she couldn't remember people or places, but if you started to pray, she would join in and could pray beautiful prayers and commune with God in that heavenly language - when the prayer "meeting" was over, she reverted back to her state of confusion.... Makes me wonder why - but God doeth all things well - and we just have to trust Him.

This thread has been so special to me. As a child, I fell asleep under the pew hearing many of these old songs that have been listed. I won't even begin to name all them - but my heart is grieved when the worship leader will break out in one of these old songs and the praise singers have no clue as to the words or melody! Our pastor has been known to call someone in to his office to sing some of these older songs to the young man who sometimes leads worship so that he can learn them correctly. :nod

I will mention one song - and I've told DH that they can sing it at my funeral...

What a day that will be - when my Jesus I shall see
When I look upon His face - the one who saved me by His grace
When He takes me by the hand - and leads me to the Promised Land
What a day - glorious day that will be!

Thank you to each of you who shared - I have enjoyed this thread so much! God bless each of you!

"Touch Me Lord" by Nancy Grandquist

[tamor]

I don't have time to read the whole thread right now. I will catch up later in the day. But for starters, two that I absolutely love are:

It Is Well With My Soul
How Great Thou Art

[Timmy]

Born To Be Wild! :cc1

[LadyChocolate]

It's an old one but I still love to hear "Only Jesus Can Satisfy Your Soul"

[Cindy]

I Can Only Imagine

[Pastor G]

GREAT SONGS!!!

A few more that always reach deep in me is...

"I Need Thee"

"To Be Like Jesus"

"Draw Me Nearer"


Do any of you know that there is one song, listed twice by seperate names, in the "Sing Unto Him" hymnal? Maybe it is because of its importance...

[Cindy]

Had It Not Been

[dizzyde]

MINE TOO!!!

....especially.... "Look to Him"
".....I know someone Who knows it all, His Eyes see even that little sparrow fall...."

OHHH, I forgot about that song, I love it!

I used to sing that when I was a teenager, it's such a moving song.

[StillStanding]

It it amazing how the mere mention of a song can usher in the presence of God? I have teary eyes from reading this thread, remembering some great moves of God during different times of my life while listening to some of these songs mentioned.

A couple of years ago, I heard a newer rendition of "Had it Not Been". I sobbed like a baby as I listened to the words. I had heard that song many times, but maybe for the first time I really listened.

A few songs (some already mentioned) that always get to me when I hear them:

"I Can't Complain" by Don Johnson
"He's Been Faithful" by the Brooklyn Tab Choir
"Send a Holy Ghost Revival" by the Brooklyn Tab Choir
"In the Presence of Jahovah" by Geron Davis

I know what you mean. I was the same way last night when I was reading & posting in this thread.

[Cindy]

Im Standing On The Solid Rock
He Set Me Free
Unworthy
Now Behold The Lamb
Without Him
If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
I Go To The Rock
My House Is Full (But My Field Is Empty)
Cornerstone
Everybody Will Be Happy Over There
Just Over In The Gloryland
What A Savior
Sweet By And By
The King Is Coming
He Touched Me

[Jodiah91]

While there are MANY songs that can get me crying, there are a few that I just absolutely love: Were It Not For Grace, Praise His Name (by Sherri Easter--not a huge southern gospel fan but this song does it for me), It Is Well With My Soul is probably one of my most favorite hymns and I love Selah's version. . .and Jesus I Love You. . .there's just something about the words to those verses! That song can get me to blowing snot in no time!!

I am with you on Selah's version of It Is Well With My Soul, which is my favorite song.

[Jodiah91]

I've been on the mountain with Jesus
I've been in the valley so low
But not one time has He failed me
When to Him with my burdens I go

Let me walk with you Jesus
Don't ever leave me alone
For without You I could never
No, never make Heaven my home

Lord you found me, when I was so lonely
You found me, when I was so blue
You found me, when no one could help me
And I didn't know just what to do

So me walk with You Jesus.
Don't ever leave me alone.
For without You, I could never
No never make Heaven my home.

LOVE IT! I had one of the best blessings to this song many years ago as someone sang it at church one night. . haven't heard it in a LONG time!

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

Which song is that?

I'll bite! Which one?

Stumped me too, and I seldom use a songbook to sing with.

[Jodiah91]

WoW!! This thread reallly took off.

Great Is Thy Faithfullness; Noone Ever Cared for Me, Like Jesus; In Christ Alone.

The two eldest daughters of the Collingsworth Family play this song on their violins in perfect harmony. No other music but the violins. Definately worth listening to. . .gave me goose bumps, tears, the whole shebang. . .

[AmazingGrace]

I have to say Jesus I love you is one of my Favorites too.. The first time I heard it.. was at JCM.. they were having a jam session after chapel service and my hubby and Brian (the person who sings it on their cd) were singing it together and the holy ghost fell in that place and we had an awesome awesome time.. It has really just touched my heart every time I hear it... however what I cannot stand is when they sing it without the verses and for an hour during altar call!

[Esther]

I have not read all of this thread, a good portion so I don't know if this song has been listed.

God is an Awesome God! I love that song because to me He is Awesome and He does reign!

Another song that has much meaning to me is "Let us have a little talk with Jesus" don't remember if that is the exact title or not. An old song.

I have enjoy reading the ones posted and it does indeed bring about many memories.

It has been very good.:happydance

[mama bear]

Oh she was Bro. Phil. I was just a kid but I have never forgotten her. You know really back then our church was predominatly white, but that lady sure was allowed by our wonderful pastor to come and hold revival. She could preach. And as bishop said many miracles and people filled with the Holy Ghost.

Oh, she spent many, many weeks with her in our services. Parkersburg, WV - J.C. Cole. She was a TRIP!!! Her son Scotty, a police officer in Charleston, WV just recently passed away - so I heard.

You know I am sure we had many wonderful evangelist come to our church over the years but she is one of the few I remember. Do you know when she passed away?

I believe it was in the 80's. Billy Cole preached her funeral. I'll never forget her playing the piano and singing, "That little 'ol wooden church" ! Only 1 like her. Do you remember when she had a Sister Charlene travel with her and played music for her?

Yes, and it sure brings back memories of her. I was just a kid but I can still picture her face. And I loved her cape.

[philjones]

I don't think I have seen it mentioned but one of my favorites is "I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand"

A similar song that holds greater meaning for me is Hallelujah Square. My dad and mom used to sing that sing often and it was always blessed. My dad was not a shouter... never saw him dance in the Spirit in my life... but he was a worshiper with a very large and very tender heart. He would start singing the verses to that song and the tears would begin to flow and the Holy Ghost would begin to move. Then, after he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, I remember one of the rare times I was in service with them (I was backslidden throughout my dad's sickness and didn't come back to God until 4 years after Dad's death) and in his frail condition with a black patch over the eye that cancer had taken Dad began to sing "I saw a blind man... tapping along..." and then moved into the chorus and began to sing "I'll see all my friends up in Hallelujah square.." and the hardened heart of this long term sinner just broke...

I believe a seed was planted that day that took four plus years to germinate and produced a result when the time was right.

So... I guess Hallelujah Square might be my favorite! :)

[dizzyde]

My parents used to sing a song called "The King and the Beggar", I don't know if anybody has ever heard it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone but them sing it.

I'm not sure where it even came from, but I love that song, it brings back so many memories thinking about it.

[Esther]

The Alabaster Box still moves me.

LOL I never understood it because the guy I heard sing it, it always sounded like he said a king and a baker! Lol!!!


I will probably never get tired of hearing "Sheltered in the Arms of God" An oldie but a goodie!

[Pastor G]

I'll bite! Which one?


Sorry had a lot to do

the song that is in the "Sing Unto the Lord" Hymnal is:

"I Am Thine O Lord" - "Draw Me Nearer" Same song two titles I guess

I am sure it was an accident, however we could probably all stand to hear it or sing it twice as much...

[OneAccord]

The song that has always blessed me is "There is a River". Some of the kiddies may not remember it... but, what blessings I've had while hearing that song. Now... don't get mad at me, but, hearing Jimmy Swaggart sing that "back in the day"... was about as close to heaven as you could get.


There is a River
1. There came a sound from Heaven like a rushing mighty wind,
It filled their hearts with singing, and gave them peace within.
The Prophet gave this promise, the Spirit will descend,
And from your inner being, a river with no end.
Chorus 1

There is a river that flows from deep within,
There is a fountain that frees the soul from sin.
Come to this water, there is a vast supply.
There is a river that never shall run dry.

2. There was a thirsty woman who was drawing from a well,
Her life was ruined and wasted, her soul was bound for hell.
Then she met the Master who told of her great sin,
And if you drink this water, you'll never thirst again.

Chorus 2

There is a river that flows from God above.
There is a fountain that's filled with His great love.
Come to this water, there is a vast supply.
There is a river that never shall run dry.
tag: There is a river that never shall run dry.

Max and David Sapp

Thanks. They did good.

[Steadfast]

Another song that can be absolutely powerful if done right is, "All Hail The Power of Jesus Name". Seems too 'formal' for some but when a little 'heart' is put to it (and a little 'bluesy' feel) it's a great song!

[Whole Hearted]

My Thanks To HIm

The Love Of God

[Tina]

Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me

[Whole Hearted]

Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me

My daughter and i still sing this one too.

[dixonic2]

I would have to say "Makes me wanna Shout" (Jason Breland) and "Thru the Fire" (Crabb Family) wow! Also, a song we sing at our church:
When I think of His goodness
and what He's done for me
when I think of His goodness
and how He set me free
I wanna leap, leap, leap leap leap all night
all night~
and it goes on....how ever the Spirit moves

[FRINGE_NUTTER]

I don't know the song title, but it goes something like this: I've got a longing. I'm homesick to go to a land with no heartaches, no sorrow, no woe. There is nothing but trouble in this world here belong. I'm homesick for heaven. I have a longing to go.

Even Lord quickly come.

"Through The Fire" is, indeed, a great song! It's one of those that I've never gotten tired of.

In the spirit of this thread and having the yearning to not let this thread die, I just listened to Nancy Grandquist on a song or several songs at Calvary Tabernacle. Very good! She is another one who has greatly contributed to the great music of the UPC imho. Anyway, here is the link if you are interested. Very moving.....you'll need a tissue, I promise!

Unfinished Task
Chorus:

For you have fought and run the race

These words I long to hear
My saviour say
So when my life, on earth is past
There’s just one thing dear Lord I as
Don’t let me leave behind
An unfinished task

Only one life
Chorus:

Only one life, so soon it will pass;
Only what’s done for Christ will last!
Only one chance to do His will;
So give to Jesus all your days.
It’s the only life that pays when
You recall you have but one life!

Bow Down and Worship Him(Paul Morton)
Gateway also did this song years ago.

you can find a clip of it on you tube. what an anointed song!

[Tina]

I've Made Up My Mind to Make it Through


I started out to follow Jesus many years ago
The road was sometimes slippery and my steps were often slow
I met opposition, I didn't quite know what to do
But I've made up my mind to make it through.


Before the first round started - I said I'll fight until I win
I might even get knocked down, but I'll get up again
I control this temple, and I can't afford to lose
I've made up my mind to make it through.

Years have come and they have gone, this battle has grown old
My mind's made up to win this fight, my faith has not grown cold
The joy of the Lord is still my strength, my confidence is true
My mind is still made up to make it through.

[Monkeyman]

"Running Back To You" Commissioned

[Tina]

Stand by me Jesus, forgive me somehow
If there's any hope left- don't leave me now
I might be worth saving, I'm trying to be
Jesus, oh Jesus, Don't give up on me.

It's late, I know, and I've made you wait
But don't turn the light out, don't lock the gate
Forgiveness and patience, that's all I need
Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me.

I can't remember the first verse..

[Mrs. LPW]

When God Ran - PCD
Table of Grace - PCD
I Claim the Blood
He paid a debt He did not owe... I owed a debt I could not pay.

In Christ Alone is a favorite

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

I've had many songs minister to me over the years.

He is my peace (CLC)
I find my peace in you Lord are two that I heard at specific times when I really needed them.

[TalkLady]

WHEN HE SEES ME, HE SEES THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB


1. Looking Down Thru The Ages God Beheld A Dying Soul
Sin Has Brought Separation. Never More Could Man Be Whole
There Must Come A Lamb One Whose Blood Alone Redeems
Bringing Gifts From The Father For Our Soul Made Pure And Clean

Chorus
And When He Sees Me He Sees The Blood Of The Lamb
He Sees Me As Worthy And Not As I Am
He Views Me In Garments As White As The Snow
For The Lamb Of God Is Worthy And He Washed Me This I Know.


2. So He Left That Holy City Traveling On To The Cross
Thus To Bridge The Gulf To Glory And To Rescue The Lost
By His Blood He Entered Into The Throne Room Of Our God
And On The Mercy Seat He Placed It - Salvation For Us All.

Chorus
And When He Sees Me He Sees The Blood Of The Lamb
He Sees Me As Worthy And Not As I Am
He Views Me In Garments As White As The Snow
For The Lamb Of God Is Worthy And He Washed Me This I Know.
