Jack....I'm more of the ex-catholic/switched to presbyterian/going to the methodist variety. So my taste is more quiet. My favorite hymn is "Be Thou My Vision". My dad's favorite was Amazing Grace. To this day, I can't get all the way through it singing. You is walkin on thin ice KrazyJacky...gonna get hammered by the christians/buddhists/wiccans/atheists for talkin gospel on here! But even Gospel is better than Disco. Love Ya.....Jill

"Still The Cross" by FFH is a favorite right now. On the more traditional side "There is A River" by the Gaither Vocal Band, one of their older songs. And pretty much anything Southern Gospel is ok too.

Too many...but number one all time favorite is:
Everything (the late) Rich Mullins did.
Also: "Go rest high on that mountain' Vince Gill, although now I can hardly listen to it since this is who we played at Dad's funeral.
Jilly, "Be though my vision', 'Amazing Love' & "Be ye glad' are just AWESOME and I love to hear the Acapella Quartet do those.
There's a lot of 'country' songs that I adopt and get in a really sprititually 'touched' state over:
Rascal Flats' "I'm movin' on' Pat Green's "Wave on wave' Tim Mcgraw's "Live like you were dyin'" "Long black train" (Josh Turner?)
Russ Taff did this incredible album years ago called "Under the influence' where he did a bunch of super old gospel songs in their historical black southern style with a touch of New Orleans blues added, and I still love that.
I used to just LOVE Mylon LeFevor & Wayne Watson's old music is fantastic . . .

Yeah, that's a pretty song Ian. He played it on a 12 string guitar tuned down a step or two then capoed up two or three frets. Why would he do that? Would loosening the strings make it ring with more sustain?

I just sang "Amazing Grace" at Bill's Mom's funeral. Luckily a friend of Bill's did the lead and I did the harmony, cause I couldn't predict if I would be ABLE to make it all the way thru. I got most of it done... My Mom had me dressed up and singing at bridal showers when I was 3....I"ve sung "church music" all my life. Some of my best memories are in the car on trips with my parents, singing trios. Dad did the lead, Mom did the alto and I either did second soprano or tenor. My Dad's favorite was "A Closer Walk with Thee" and Mom liked "In the Garden". They sang in the church choir for 50+ years. Gospel music is filled with FAMILY memories for me. (edited to correct my grammar)

I don't know, Wayne... maybe someone else with more knowledge will help us out, but it's an interesting idea... unless his arms were short and he didn't want to reach so far up the guitar neck?
Some woman also did a very nice version of 'The Wedding Song' too, but I can't remember her name just now.

Wayne - "Love Lifted Me" - a great song! I also like "Wonderful the Matchless Grace of Jesus" - really fun to sing in the choir.
Both are from an old Hymnal called "Tabernacle Hymns". When i sung in the choir we used to try to convice our director to sings songs from the Tabernacle hymnal instead of the red (more sedate) Methodist hymnal.
Jane - A bit of trivia - the town where i live (Pitman, NJ) started as a Methodist camp meeting town. The man who wrote "In the Garden" (C. Austin Miles) was from Pitman.
Thanks, Steve

I was wrong Ian, he did tune it down one and a half steps but didn't use a capo. So the strings were loose. Hafta try that with fingerpicks.
We sing that one in the choir too, Steve..... MEN(bass): "WONDEFUL THE MATCHLESS GRACE OF JESUS" Ladies: "matchless grace of Jesus".....and so forth. That's a good one.
Yes, "In the Garden" I love that one too.
I like this verse from "The Love of God":
Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky

Someone asked me a while back what the "1067wwtl stood for in my e-mail address.
I guess it's kind of fitting for this post. Signs are not my only passion. I'm the marketing manager for my church's (southern gospel) radio station as well.

As for my favorite? Anything from Selah.

These songs have strong memories for for one reason or another. I know I fall short of the purposes and glory that God has in store for me. I best be working on that.
Have a great one!

If you're into Gospel music, check out the House of Blues Gospel Brunch. Took my father there when he was in LA one time and he said he felt like he was back down south in the 60's.

Back in my Jeaus freak days, I enjoyed listening to anything by Keith Green. He died young in a plane accident, long before I ever heard his music. Besides just bein good music, he was well known also for not charging for his concerts or recordings. He didn't think people should have to pay to hear gospel music. One thing his agent didn't like a whole lot. LOL

Isn't Christy Nockels in Watermark with her brother or did she go solo? She has one heck of a voice!

I Bid You Goodnight - the Traditional Jamacian Gospel song. My favorite version was performed by Aaron Neville with the guitar accompaniment by Ry Cooder.

And Mine, from the movie "O Brother where art thou.
Soggy Bottom Boys I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
(chorus) In constant sorrow through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my day. I bid farewell to old Kentucky The place where I was born and raised.
(chorus) The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble No pleasures here on earth I found For in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now.
(chorus) He has no friends to help him now
It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.
You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave.
(chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more. But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
(chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore

Bruce, I'm fairly new to listening to contemporary christian music...I don't really know much about her other than I saw it was her name attached to "Breathe" in this worship cd I just bought....
She does have a phenomenal voice! Very moving. I was instantly taken by her talent. What other songs is she noted for?

Yes! Todd, "Blessed Be the Name" is awesome! I drop everything when I hear it. I like Fernando Ortega's "Give Me Jesus", too, & I have always loved Third Day, especially "Love Song", & "Show Me Your Glory"
And how 'bout Hank Williams singing "I Saw the Light"? That one gets me going. Poor 'ol Hank, I wonder if he ever did get to see the light?

"Blessed be the Name", and "Live like you were dying", do a lot for me, and there are too many too mention. "Amazing Grace" will be with us forever, as they sang that at my Mom's funeral, as I can never get through that song without tears, it's beautiful. I love anything by Amy Grant and a lot of the contemporary christian music for the youth, as I know it helps bring a lot more interest to the Word. For years, I couldn't imagine that the gospel music couldn't be improved, to attract all walks of life. I was a heavy rock n roller and blues lover too, and finally am seeing more creativity coming into focus, and the teens are more interested too. Yesterday, my granddaughter's Hawaiian birthday party where the girls and friends did Hawaiian dance to gospel songs from the vacation Bible school program in which they performed last spring. It was a lot of fun with all the flowers and grass skirts!

Not much of a call for "Happy Clapper" music in the UK, which is probably due to the fact that we have no music specific radio stations than any other reason so it gets no coverage.

Sandy I always thought of this as just reggae but come to think of it you're right, UB40's version is good too.
