"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the will of him that sent me."


Down from His glory, ever living story,
My God and Savior came, and Jesus was His name;
Born in a manger to His own a stranger,
A man of sorrows, tears and agony!

Chorus
Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The great Creator became my Savior,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

What condescension, bringing us redemption,
That in the dead of night, not one faint hope in sight,
God gracious, tender laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul!

Chorus
Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The great Creator became my Savior,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

Without reluctance, flesh and blood His substance,
He took the form of man, revealed the hidden plan;
O glorious myst'ry sacrifice of Calv'ry!
And now I know He is the great "I AM"!

Chorus
Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The great Creator became my Savior,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

Blessings,

Sister,

At once, A. D. Urshan had a pastorate in New York City, I believe it was in the 1930s. He was in a restaurant where a band was simply playing that tune but of course it was not a christian tune at that time. WBC, took the music and put those words to it.

Bro. A. D. Urshan was so moved that they would be playing what he thought was a One God song. He approached the band and asked if he could sing it. With permission granted, he proceeded to sing the words that you quoted above. He sung with such a great anointing that when he was finished, there was a time of total silence as people dried their eyes. While still weeping, the great crowd of people in that resturant stood to their feet and gave bro. Urshan a long lasting applause.

The whole place remained in the grips of that great anointing for a long while.

I have not been on the intenet since last Friday mroning so have only read the first page of this thread.

As far as the initial protests against this thread I say bullhockey!!! Brother Strange is big enough to dish it out and I am willing to be he is big enough to take it.

I think what sometimes happens in older saints / preachers is they don't like the style, etc of new music and this dislike gets confused with it being spritually wrong, of the devil,etc.

Just like I might dislike church music featuring a banjo enough that I could easily convince myself it was of a "bad spirit"! LOL

I didn't see the original posts quoted where Brother Strange didn't like the music. I thought he had just had a problem with the prophecy.

I have redneck friends and relatives who think any gospel music that is not Southern Gospel is of the devil.

I don't like much of the contemporary gospel music but I don't demonize it.

Now he is a catholic.

Wrong Song.

Here's the song written by Chris Tomlin.

The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
I have to agree with Bro. Strange on this song. The first time our choir did this song it sent chills through me. But then I change the words to all the songs that use this type of reference to a more theologically accurate expression. In the song that says I know Jesus is the father, I know Jesus is the son, I know Jesus is the Holy Ghost I do not say He's God all three in one.. I say He's God the ONLY one. Just my personal preference. Ya'll sing it if you have to but I'll take some It's all in Him any old day!

I didn't know that Baptist/Charismatic was synonymous with Catholic. Are you basing your statement on the fact that his statement of beliefs is solely the Nicene Creed?
