Southern Gospel

[Ron]

Anyone like Southern Gospel?
I was dating an American in the late Eighties, and even though it didn't work out, she got me hooked on Southern Gospel.
I am sure in Heaven when it talks about is singing around the throne-it is going to be "Southern Gospel!"

This video is of my favourite group-Gold City Quartet. I saw them when they came to our city at a Church in our neighborhood about ten years ago.
Gold City is based in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Here is a Video of them at Bill Gaithers Homecoming Series.

Rhoni!!:jaw I am, I am, shocked!! I shall pray for thee that perhaps it ain't too late!:praying

[MrsMcD]

I don't like Southern Gospel at all. It's almost as bad as country music. :heeheehee

[Rhoni]

Rhoni!!:jaw I am, I am, shocked!! I shall pray for thee that perhaps it ain't too late!:praying

I am not a redneck and I am not really a southerner...I am a city slicker and love rock and roll as well as contemporary and classical...actually I like all music better than southern gospel with the exception of rap! :tease

Ron this is indeed an old copy. Most of those are no longer in the group.

Unless they have recently moved they are from Gadsden, Al.

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

God does not dwell in bluegrass or twanging Geee-twars.

Not that 4 part harmony is not a great sound. Not all "Southern Gospel" is either.

Gold City is one of my favorites. I bought a 25th anniversary 2-CD pack and love it.

[ChTatum]

We attempt to use all styles in service, but very seldom do I listen to southern gospel by myself.

Five minutes, once a year.....

Yeah, I can do that.

I don't like Bluegrass either.

I can take about 5 minutes of it, butttttt that is about it.

I love harmony!

They say "Variety is the spice of life".

I believe there is room for us to enjoy and

have variety in our tastes for music. The

Bible tells us to "Make a joyful NOISE unto

the LORD, all ye lands, Serve the LORD with

gladness. Come before His Presense with singing!

My personal tastes varies! I like some southern

gospel, some quartets, some contemporary gospel.

Kinda like a buffet. A variety of tastes! To each

his/her own!:bliss

This is precious and why I like you!!:highfive

Now, it is no secret I suppose, to anyone who pays attention to what I post, where my affections lie re music...I am a 'Black gospel' fan...used to be a fanatic, but now I'm just a fan.

Anyway, SG is not something I can easily hang with, but as my dad was such a huge fan, it was ever present. Consequently, I have come to appreciate some of it.

Mom and I will be in Anderson, IN in March for a concert with the Collingsworth Family...SG, but really good. The mother of the group, Kim, is SUCH a tremendously anointed musician...has the late great Anthony Burger beat all to pieces.

Mother Falla is right...there is room for all tastes...:amen

[Margies3]

Mother Falla is right...there is room for all tastes...:amen

AMEN!!

Well, except for rock. I don't have any room for that. I do like Southern Gospel. I do NOT like twangy stuff, tho. Bluegrass doesn't cut it for me.

I think alot of what you like has to do with what you grew up with. I grew up with my parents listening to country music all the time. I'm not a big fan of country music now because I don't appreciate alot of the lyrics. But I think the "music" itself has been imbedded in me.

Any other Southern Gospel lovers out there?My two favorite genres of music are Christian Bluegrass and Southern Gospel. With regard to the latter, I'm particularly partial to The Cathedrals.

[Margies3]

I really like the music by the Talley's. Good stuff!!

[ManOfWord]

We don't twang and we won't twang. I really like good ole Bluegrass banjo pickin, but not for worshipping. I don't criticize anyone who does, but as has been stated already, different strokes for different folks.

I can worship to almost anything.


But we still ain't twangin'!!!!

have you ever heard of the Steeles?

[Blubayou]

I too, like all kinds of gospel music. The older I get- the more I like southern gospel, though.

[Trouvere]

I was invited to go and hear the Dixie Echos by the wife of the youngest singer.I hate that kind of music but may go because I can share truth with
them.I love souls.I don't however choose this kind of music.Anyway its in two weeks.

Though Black gospel has always been my favorite style of music, I was a huge fan back in the day of The Singing Rambos...had all their LPs at one time.

I still do have a Rambo double Anniversary LP...a few months ago when we had a family deal here, I was playing it while I was cooking and everyone enjoyed the old songs.

[MrsBOOMM]

I have to say I love Southern Gospel. I love the tight harmony. I also like Black Gospel too. I can't stand Rock and Roll. If I cannot easily understand the lyrics I don't like it no matter what style it is. Music is a forum in which there are many different threads. To each his own, everyone has to find whatever fits them. Music is the way our emotions express themselves.

:beatdeadhorse


I'm with the Bishop. Christian Rock, Contempory... or whatever they're calling it now a days, is okay, I guess. If you like it. In my opinion, ain't nothin better than Southern Gospel. I remember when Rusty Goodman began to migrate away from Southern Gospel and into contemporay. He came out with "I've got leavin' on my mind". No direct mention of God, the Bible, heaven or anything that makes a Gospel song a gospel song. Sounded like a country song. If I hear a song that doesn't mention any of those things directly, I don't really consider it a gospel song. But, thats my opinion and I'm stickin to it.

[MrRight]

I like mst any kind of music! But southen gospel is my favourite! It just don't get much beter than that in my book. That old stuff is the best. If it twangs I'm in the gang!!

[IAintMovin]

Sorry the main part of heaven will be filled with "Gospel" and we will be rockin.

However those of us who jam will go to the celler ever now and then to visit you guys with ya getars and such.

[OneAccord]

Souther Gospel:

The Inspirations "The Wonder of Wonders"
The Hemphills, "The Sweetest Word He ever said"
The Happy Goodmans "I wouln't take nothin' for my journey now"
The Florida Boys "When He was on the Cross, I was on His mind".
The Hinsons "The Lighthouse"
The Gaithers "Theres just something about that Name"

Jesus is Coming Soon
Music and Lyrics by R.E. Winsett
Mark 14:62
"And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."

Troublesome times are here, filling men’s hearts with fear,
Freedom we all hold dear, now is at stake.
Humbling your heart to God saves from the chastening rod.
Seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians awake!

Chorus
Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon,
Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound.
All of the dead shall rise, righteous meet in the sky,
Going where no one dies, Heavenward bound!

Troubles will soon be o’er, happy forever more,
When we meet on that shore, free from all care.
Rising up in the sky, telling this world goodbye,
Homeward we then will fly, glory to share.

Chorus
Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon,
Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound.
All of the dead shall rise, righteous meet in the sky,
Going where no one dies, Heavenward bound!

Now those are (or were) singers, and that was (and is) music that left no room to wonder what (or Who) they were singing about!

I have eclectic tastes in music. I was raise with Southern Gospel as well as Black Gospel. I like any music that is played with passion. Throw down on the banjo, bagpipes, acustic, electric, whatrever, I don't care, just give it all you got in worship and praise to Him.

We were out house hunting today and I realized how right someone was who said southern gospel might as well just be plain ole country crud.... Its honestly horrid!!!! I listened to 2 or 3 songs before I got so sick I wanted to but I listened and the only thing different was they werent talking about cheating.. in the first 2 songs all I heard about was someone dying and someone else hurting and wasnt nothing about Jesus, God, Lord I dont think any of those names etc were mentioned more than maybe once in the songs and they were the most horrid elevator music you have ever heard!!!! Dont have a clue how anyone ever thought of having revival with that kind of music! Makes me wanna run!!! And NOT to the altar!! ROFL:killinme

ROFL:killinmeI take it you haven't heard songs like "Where Could I Go But To The Lord" or "He Looked Beyond My Fault And Saw My Need." You'll often find that Southern Gospel music is borne out of personal experience, though sometimes you'll get the standard Southern cultural belief (or it seems like a belief) that everyone's mother is going to be in Heaven.

I love black gospel AND Southern Gospel. right now my CD player in my car has the two CD set from Bishop Patterson, the CD of the choir from the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship Mass Choir, Kirk Franklin (not sure which one), and the two CD set from AQUA which is almost totally Apostolic Southern Gospel quartets.

Other than Hip Hop and rock gospel there is not much I don't like.

I enjoy most any gospel music, however some does get on my nerves...I do have to admit that when I heard Olanda Draper sing "He Touched Me", I laughed sooo hard because I was so used to Bill Gaither singing it.... So I told my mother that even our black gospel singers still sing the old songs...I played it for her and of course, she said it was not the same song...ha ha ha!!

As for Kirk Franklin, I enjoy his earlier stuff with the family, those were the songs I could sing in church. But even though I really enjoy his latest albums, they are too much for services imo....I would prefer southern gospel over christian rock for sure!!:heeheehee

I've yet to see anyone actually explain what makes something Christian rock or rock gospel and others not.

When I first came into the UPC over 20 years ago and they were singing "This train is bound for glory" and other tunes the first thing that I thought of was "Wow...that beat is punk"

IMO christian rock is to me, like heavy metal..lots of distorted guitars and just really wild music....On the same note, much of the black gospel world , like tonex , could be considered rock.....they have some wild music!!! but thats JMO

See...I still don't know what wild music is...I mean a visitor for the first time to an average Pentecostal church might find both our music and worship wild.....the fast drum beat is gonna be different to a Roman Catholic or a Mormon and fact they might call it rock..

I've heard guitar with some distortion done very very tastefully and never felt the Holy Spirit leave that service

By my definition it would be the music of the Stryper, Switchfoot and some of the harder head banging so-called gospel music.

Sounds like you must have been in a service with Lance Appleton...
lol...no actually. Every other UPC I went to...even those that bill themselves as Ultra Con have the fast rock beat. They just don't call it rock for some odd reason...perhaps it's to distance themselves from other churches they feel have compromised?

Not sure where you come down on this subject. I actually do not care about the beat. I care about the lyrics.

Much like MLK Jr, I do not care about the color of a man's skin, I care about the content of a man's character.

Same with a song...

[Praxeas]

By my definition it would be the music of the Stryper, Switchfoot and some of the harder head banging so-called gospel music.
Even Stryper can do slower tamer stuff and still sound like rock...On another thread they said rock and roll was wrong. I thought...rock and roll? Good Grief everything we do is essentially rock and roll lol..

is it the music the do or is it the spandex?

I mean I don't doubt there are some Stryper songs, just as there were some Petra songs that can be done in church. Some stuff is more useful for just entertainment and listening pleasure but others more towards corporate worship

Actually, Terry Joe is Country Gospel not Southern Gospel. But he is DEFINITELY one of my favorite Country Gospel singers. He and Bro. McCool are neck and neck in that regard. I have several of Terry Joe's CDs and a couple of his sound tracks just in case I get the opportunity to "sang" one of his Mizzipi originals!:bliss

Terry Joe Terrell grew up in the small Mississippi town of Foxworth. He was brought up in Pleasant Hill Pentecostal Church, where his father, Bro. Marvin Terrell, was the pastor, and after 48 years, still is. His mom, Annie Faye Terrell, was a prayer warrior who made everyone that came there feel like family.

At the young age of eleven, Terry experienced a tragedy. His mom passed away. Over the next seven years Terry grew bitter that his world had fallen apart. During this troubled time, Terry fell in love and married a girl from his church. God later blessed their home with a son and daughter. This brought some comfort to his life. However, he knew something was missing...

Then one night, while visiting his dad’s church, Terry was filled with the Holy Ghost. He finally found the Friend he had heard his mom speak of so many times.

In 1992 Terry took a leap of faith. He went to Big Stone Gap, VA, to cut a project with the Singing Cooks. With just a small sound system and his sound tracks placed in the trunk of his car, he and his family set out to be a witness through songs.

Fourteen years later God is still opening new doors across the United States. Terry hopes for many more years to continue to have the opportunity to tell about his Friend, Jesus Christ.

Really Prax...it is all going to depend on an individual....My mother didn't want me listening to Carmen because he sounded to "worldly". Carmen is "soothing" music now compared to much of what I listen to. Some music is for entertaining and some for church...Some people would walk into a country church and hear southern or bluegrass and it would remind them of a bar. It just all depends on each person.. I say, to each his own..................If it gives God glory and praise, sing on!!!!!!!!

[LaGirl]

Anyone like Southern Gospel?
I was dating an American in the late Eighties, and even though it didn't work out, she got me hooked on Southern Gospel.
I am sure in Heaven when it talks about is singing around the throne-it is going to be "Southern Gospel!"

This video is of my favourite group-Gold City Quartet. I saw them when they came to our city at a Church in our neighborhood about ten years ago.
Gold City is based in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Here is a Video of them at Bill Gaithers Homecoming Series.

i am watching a homecoming series right now. it is on tv. one of the sky angel stations.

I never listen to carman when I was younger. He was popular but I didn't like his junk. When I was a teenager David and the giants were popular. I went one time to a church where they were, after two songs i got up and left. I'll take the old Happy Goodman's any day.

Nah...keep that junk away from me...why is it everything that someone does not like have to be described as junk? ok, so it's not your style of music. Does everything have to be described as junk? What's wrong with people..

God forbid a preacher asks a saint if they liked the message and instead of saying "Well it was ok, but not my style" instead say "it was junk"?:vomit

[Praxeas]

BTW some of Carman's songs were very "Pentecostal" in style.

Some Carman Lyrics
Ask Of Me
I always hear My children when they bow to pray
I never fail to entertain all that they say
I mourn with every sorrow
I grieve with every pain
Yet all the while I'm strengthening and blessing them again

I want so much to be their Source from which they feed
For I and only I can give them what they need
That's why within the pages of My Written Word
Time and time again this simple line is often heard

Ask of Me, don't turn to any other
Can't you see? You'll never be a bother
Just believe that I can be your Answer, My beloved child
Ask of Me, don't search in other places
Can't you see? That I'll be your Oasis
In that dry and thirsty world you live in
I'll be your cup of water if only you give in
And ask of Me

Eyes have not seen, nor ears have heard
All of the things that I preferred
For those that love Me
But only if you ask of Me

Ask of Me, don't turn to any other
Can't you see? You'll never be a bother
Just believe that I can be your Answer, My beloved child
Ask of Me, don't search in other places
Can't you see? That I'll be your Oasis
In that dry and thirsty world you live in
I'll be your cup of water if only you give in
And ask of Me

[Praxeas]

Hunger For Holiness

There's a silent war that's raging deep within me
My lower nature fights to dominate
My spirit man is poised and locked in battle
With the carnal side of me I've grown to hate.

The trumpet of my prayers plays toward Heaven
A voice of desperation in my cry
Lord, strengthen me that I might not yield myself to sin
But keep Your righteous banner lifted high.

CHORUS
Lord, I hunger for holiness
And I thirst for the righteousness that's Yours
That my mind would be cleansed
And my spirit renewed
And this temple that You dwell in would be pure.

The tempter stalks about me as a lion
Searching for the slightest scent of blood
For when the skin of my resistance is broken
He moves in swiftly to deepen the cut.

Oh, Lord of all Creation, hear Your servant
You understand the weaknesses of man.
I'm counting myself crucified with Jesus
Alive to Christ and dead indeed to sin.

I like His Name Is Wonderful. I think Carman sings that.

I don't care for much of southern gospel or even stuff like those who sing "who am i, that the lord of all the earth..." or "I can only imagine"...it is not my forte. but just because I don't like it, i'm not going to tell someone who enjoys it that it is junk....that could be taken offensively......although our own preacher once told us we listened to trash.. WE didn't get offended, we just pumped up the bass everytime we drove into the parking lot! And come to think of it, our "trashy" songs were usually what brought the house down during service!!lol ha ha ha. To each his own..:bliss

[South of I 90]

While Southern Gospel is not my favorite genre of music, I do appreciate it if it is done right. Of course some people would say that there is no such thing as good southern gospel.

Possibly the reason why this opinion is prevelant among those that have a dislike for southern gospel is because there are so many groups in the southern gospel that are really not that good.

Some of my earliest memories are those of quartet conventions that my parents used to drag me to. I do understand the genre even though there are many groups with bad vocalist and inferior musicianship.

The vocalist that have been and continue to be a part of the Gaither Vocal band has been some of the best vocalist in gospel music.

You might not like bluegrass, but if you appreciate music, there is no way you can discount Allison Krauss.

Those holds true to anytype of music.

Meanwhile I'm anticipating the new dvd concert release of Mute Math!! :tiphat

Evangelist Bud Chambers who wrote songs like One More River, I was Born to serve the Lord, Poor Rich Man, passed away on 1/26/07. He was 74 years old.

I remember all those songs! My mother sang Poor Rich Man:

You can usually judge a man by the clothes he wears
And the car he's been riding in.
And you can usually tell if he's doing very well
By the house he's living in.
But I am here to say it doesn't work that way
With everybody I know...
Because I just got acquainted with some poor rich folks a little time ago.

Now I'm a poor rich man
I'm a poor rich man.
Oh you see, it really happened to me...
I'm a millionarie!
I know that I'm poor but I've got a lot more,
Than many rich folks that I know.
I've got a home in the sky,
That money couldn't buy...
Yes I'm a poor rich man!
:ty

Thank-you for reminding me of that song!

Blessings, Rhoni

His dad is a prince of a man, that would be my grandfather!

Oh I know that. I like that about him. Just too many songs about mama.

You would have to KNOW the story... he lost his mom as a teenager and that is his way of never letting her die... He's my uncle

Is this the one you're looking for?




GARDENS OF STONE
by Heirline

Once again death has brought us here,
To this old solemn place;
As we lay a precious loved one down,
Into a lonesome grave;
The family has gathered 'round,
To say their last goodbyes;
But surely there are memories,
That won't be left behind.

And like the seed that comes alive,
In the ground they have been sown;
They wait for His return
To this garden of stone.

One day when Jesus calls my name,
He knows just where I'll be;
The dead in Christ shall live again,
For all eternity.
With those alive here on earth,
They'll be gathered around God's throne;
And there won't be any gardens of stone.

Jesus asked, "When I return,
Will I find faith on earth?"
And with the hope of His coming,
We place our loved ones in the dirt;
In granite we've etched their names,
To stand the test of time;
These markers here reminds us,
That a child of God here lies.

But one day they'll not be needed,
For death will not be known;
When He calls them forth,
From this garden of stone.

One day when Jesus calls my name,
He knows just where I'll be;
The dead in Christ shall live again,
For all eternity.
With those alive here on earth,
They'll be gathered around God's throne;
And there won't be any gardens of stone.

No we won't need any gardens of stone!

i grew up listening to southern gospel music and i sing bass in a southern gospel group now all though its not my favorite i am a music minister at my church and i love praise and worship music

[Victorious]

My two favorite genres of music are Christian Bluegrass and Southern Gospel. With regard to the latter, I'm particularly partial to The Cathedrals.

My personal opinion is that Southern Gospel is God's music, but I do enjoy some other styles as well. I grew up listening to Gold City and they have always been my favorite. Cathedrals were a close second. There is a local quartet here in Arkansas that is based out of my church. I consider them to be good friends and the quality of their music and sound is superb. If you would like to check them out, you can find them at www.NewWayquartet.com.

[mfblume]

I must say I strongly dislike southern gospel. I tried to make myself like it since I went to a church that felt it was the only music holy enough to listen to, but I could not do it. I tried! (Ugggh)

Anyway, carry on. ;)

[Sabby]

I went to a revival in the early '80s and the Magruders tore it up. "Never been this homesick before" sung with power!

I was just wondering~ Is there ANY different kind of music? LOL. Just kidding. But I am from southern Ohio and I know what Southern Gospel is and that is my kind of music. I never did get into contempory. (now I know that is not spelled right- but I am sure that you all get what I am meaning).

[seekerman]

I know of nothing with less feeling or lack of the moving of the Spirit of God than contemporary christian music.

I attended UPC camp meeting in Jackson, TN several weeks ago and the music was about having it so loud it'd raise you off the floor. Loud = anointing to them I guess. It was nothing but screaming jigging singers, screaming rock guitars, pounding drums and thumping bass and I literally had to put my fingers in my ears it was so painful.

Spiritually, something's terribly wrong with the current trend in alleged gospel music folks.
