Do any Oneness Churches worship the Lord in this manner? More of what I would call "Charismatic" for lack of a better term? The Oneness Churches I know of generally either do country gospel or Black Choir worship.

What do you mean by "in this manner"?

I see a great difference in this kind of praise than the Apostolic Churches I have been in. From the content of the song to the way the people worship. Admittedly I have not been in Apostolic Churches for some time so maybe they have changed.

Just as a matter of conversation I am saying I much prefer the Charismatic style. I came up through the Jesus Movement and then the Charismatic Movement so when I became Oneness I was disappointed at the praise and worship I saw compared to what I was used to.

Not saying its a big issue I just would like to be able to be in that kind of worship meetings again but in an Apostolic Church.

Yes sir... which is why I asked for the clarification. Thanks for your answer.

I too would love to be a part of a church that had this type of worship as a bigger part of the mix. The church we attend pretty much just stares at you if it isn't hoppin' & poppin' ninety to nothing. Not griping, complaining or criticizing... that's just the way it is.

I love songs like these that are worshipful and adoring and solicit those same reactions.

To look across a crowd of people just raising their hands in praise at the awe and wonder that their God is... that is an amazing event in my eyes.

BTW... there are apostolic churches that do sing songs like this... more and more all the time. Last week I was visiting in the NE Houston area and attended a UPC church in that area and they had similar songs. The service was simply wonderful.

The Baptist church I attend some time sing this song. I love the song. I haven't heard it sang in an Apostolic church.

I grew up pentecostal... I was the Choir Director... we sang the newest, hottest, fastest, most exciting songs we could get our hands on.

I remember viewing this songs of adoration which simply sang pure praise as "charismatic". I look back now and I wonder what was going through my mind. It should be quintessentially apostolic to sing these songs of how great our God is.

Back when I was a regular in the Apostolic Church the most famous song was "Im a one God Apostolic Tongue Talking Holy Roller". I figured that was ok for the kids but can we be more spiritual?

LOL... Well... this generation has it's own version. I'm sure you've seen "I'm A Pentecostal".

I will say this Brother Michael. Much is the same in some places... but much has changed in others.

There are a number of churches out there who have made a move to the more worshipful tone in their music.

I am one of the lead singers here at our church but I don't lead the music department currently. Even if I did I don't know if the church would be tolerant of my taking the music department in this direction.

This type of music is my heartbeat and what I love. I would love to be in a place where I could pour my heart through songs like this.

Maybe one day... :)

Christ Church in Nashville sings this song on a regular basis! This is very much like our worship!
