A music question for you?

Question

There are so many great hymns & contemporary songs out there for us to sing..........too many to mention.

But is there maybe one song in particular that you really love when it comes to worshipping the Lord?

For me, it's "Because He lives" by The Gaithers........

And......."Draw me Close" by Michael W Smith.

What about you?

Thanks,
-Primo

I love the WOW stuff too mbandibee.......

Answer 1

Dear Primo,

So many great songs!
I agree with you on Because He lives.
I agree with Suzanne on Amazing Grace
I agree with Angelica1951 on Here I Am To Worship

But the song that I usually have playing in my head is Standing on the Promises of God. Whenever I hear our former church pianist play that song with the grace notes it sticks with me for weeks! (Now you've got me hoping he'll come back for a visit real soon!)

For His glory,
JOYfilled

Answer 2

It is well with my soul. written by Horacio Spafford. (sung by Wayne Watson)
This hymn was writ­ten af­ter two ma­jor trau­mas in Spaf­ford’s life. The first was the great Chi­ca­go Fire of Oc­to­ber 1871, which ru­ined him fi­nan­cial­ly (he had been a weal­thy bus­i­ness­man). Short­ly af­ter, while cross­ing the At­lan­tic, all four of Spaf­ford’s daugh­ters died in a col­li­sion with an­o­ther ship. Spaf­ford’s wife Anna sur­vived and sent him the now fa­mous tel­e­gram, “Saved alone.” Sev­er­al weeks lat­er, as Spaf­ford’s own ship passed near the spot where his daugh­ters died, the Ho­ly Spir­it in­spired these words.


Wayne Watson - It Is Well With My Soul
From the album Our Hymns

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."

It is well (It is well)
With my soul (With my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.
(chorus)

My sin, o, the joy of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(chorus)

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(chorus)

Peace.

Answer 4

I generally wake up with a song in my heart every day.

Today I woke up literally singing, "He Lives" by Alfred Ackley

I love the hymns of old "Amazing Grace", "How Great Thou Art", "He Leadeth Me" (on one of the I Worship DVDs is a beautiful bluegrass rendition)

Lately there's a couple of contemporary songs I listen to that has put me in a prayerful mood, especially when I'm not at my best "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" by Chris Tomlin and "I Will Lift My Eyes" by Bebo Norman

Answer 5

There are so many to mention, but I know you want only a few. My favorite is I can Only Imagine . next is Watch the Lamb by Ray Boltz, in the newer stuff, tho neither of these are really new.
In the old, there is still the BecauseeHe Lives, which puts me on m knees, and Amazing Grace. ONE that will always take you to your knees is called CAN HE STILL FEEL THE NAILS> Oh that we realize how much we hurt HIm when we sin, that we would do it no more.

God bless you for the question. We are to always go to God in worship with singing and praise.

Answer 6

Whatever is on the Michael W. Smith "Worship" album, and just about all of what I hear from Hillsong, Chris Tompkins, and Fernando Ortega.

As for old hymns - I like many of them, but mostly when a good choir does them.

Answer 7

I really love Battle Hymn of The Republic!
