Oh and our praise team doesn't sway, they bounce up and down, though they kinda look cute doing it AHAHAHAHAHA..I don't even know how they do that. I can't bounce, I have to sway. They have regular practices so I suspect they not only practice the singing but the bouncing too

You Cali types are so naive, Prax.

Don'tnevuh is SOUTHERN, not "black".

Refrain: Yeah, He's God, God don't ever change
Oh-oh always will be God

2. He's God at creation
God when Adam fell
God way up in heaven
He's God way down in - well He's God

(refrain)

3. He's God of the influenzy
God of the doctor too
In the time of your sickness
He's truly been a God to you

(refrain)

4. He's God way up in the pulpit
God way down at the door
God in the amen corner
He's God all over the floor

(refrain)

We do some of that different.
He's God all over the ocean
He's God all over the sea
He's God all over creation
and He's God all over me
or something like that
refrain? Who you telling to refrain? Your the one with the terrible singing

To us it's black...they do that in white southern churches?

I used to say before I came into Pentecost I hated country and blue grass, then when I came into Pentecost I tolerated it...or is that I had to tolerate it?

No, Blind Willie (one of THE best and most famous early blues guitarists) was an itinerant blues musician/preacher.

When he was a child, his mother dumped lye into his eyes and blinded him. He played entirely by ear.

Some of his songs:

Nobody's Fault But Mine
God moved on the Water
What is the Soul of a Man?
Lord I Just Can't Keep From Cryin, Sometimes

Ah interesting. Was he Pentecostal? Oneness?

Prax, it is a typical Southern expression - "don't never".

However, we use "don't ever" when used in an imperative sentence. Don't never is declarative, don't ever is imperative.

Holiness for sure, possibly Pentecostal, might have been Oneness.
