This song keeps popping up on my social media feed, and those who know me are aware that I'm not against the creation of new songs. Nevertheless, I find it puzzling why this song, like many new ones, doesn't even mention the word "God." Many songs leave it up to the listener to interpret the "he" and "me" as whoever they want it to be. This song will not be sung in my church. 🙂 - RANT OVER When the worry's likes a whirlwind And I just keep spinning round & round I feel like such a mess And I'm craving something quiet Is there a place that I can go to close my eyes And just forget That I'm not okay Cause I'm not okay But even as I wait I can…

What's your belief of female music leaders? The article link below seems like it was written just to keep things with the times and not an article I necessarily agree with. So what's your beliefs on woman choir directors, woman leading congregationals and so forth? https://baptistnews.com/article/now-theres-a-movement-to-bar-women-as-worship-leaders-in-churches/

The Hymn Makers series. Has anyone ever listened to these? I believe there's about 21-23 different hymn writers covered including Isaac Watts, John Newton/William Cowper (my favorite), Fanny Crosby, Charles Wesley and Ira D. Sankey. They are done in a traditional manner by the St. Michael's Singers and Coventry Cathedral among others. I highly recommend them. They used to be very difficult to obtain but now are readily available on YouTube and Spotify.

Has anyone here ever sung in a language other than English for voice training purposes? We had a choice of Italian or German. I chose German. It can be very helpful for hitting and holding a high note. For instance English uses the diphthong. A diphthong, also known as a gliding vowel, is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable. An example of this is our long 'A' sound. We actually start with the long 'A' sound a followed by the long 'E' sound. Try it. Say the word 'Day" and listen closely. Spanish speaking people use only the long 'A' sound without moving to the long 'E'. How can this help singing in English? The long 'E' actually clos…

As time goes bye, churches are opening up to adding drums and more to the worship. I brought this up once before, but I am open to drums and more, instruments. Maybe others jump on the bandwagon by now. Chances are not always good, but Hymnal only, we are loosing ground. Do I support Hymns, absolutely. But I am thinking of the future church worship, and where it is going. Trying to keep the youths in its churches.

I'm finding that many churches today don't seem to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, but rather their opinions and man-based doctrines. Dictatorial pastors have become the norm in many churches, and it's a shame.....I want to remember daily that only JESUS is worthy of our praise! This song has been on my heart and mind for the past few weeks. I hope this helps exalt JESUS in your life, and edifies you as much as it has me. I hope that it will also help motivate you to share Christ with one person today!

Country music has always included gospel music. Here is an album of country gospel music. https://www.pandora.com/artist/various-artists/country-gospel-greats/ALZZzvqv5jv5jt6 And here is one of the most beautiful songs. It was a slave song included in a collection of songs and published in Slave Songs of the United States in 1867. Pretty much forgotten it was revived in the movie, "Oh,Brother, Where Art Thou?"

I've had this song concept kicking around in my head for a long time. Just been too busy with other things. This is a rough draft which I will most likely tweak some more but, I hope to get time to work out the melody and chords. Probably will be in D Major with sus chords Heartstrings ©2022 Wayne Webb A harmony is in your holy words Sweetest poetry I've ever heard As I realize what they are saying This is when you come to me Suddenly you’re playing Chorus On my heartstrings A lovely tune Lord, I don’t need anything When I can’t get enough of you And when I feel this way All I want to do Is make the sweetest melody And play it on my heartstr…

Heather Sorenson is a very accomplished composer and musician. He father, Dr. David Sorenson, was my youth pastor and the Associate pastor of the church I grew up in in Illinois. I've been listening to a lot of Heather's music lately interspersed with my classical music regimine. What a blessing to hear such great, Christian music and have it available. I hope you enjoy this worship song as much as I have today.

I always enjoy hearing these men sing. I grew up with the Tharps, and I love them like my own brothers. I really appreciate their testimony for the Lord!

When I was in Bible college at Maranatha Baptist Bible College, now Maranatha Baptist University in Watertown, WI (http://www.mbu.edu) I heard this piece of music most of November and all of our time in the dorms during December 1982. It reminds me of Christmas every time I hear it...and I often wonder how J.S. Pachelbel would react 300+ years later knowing that people are still listening to this wonderful piece of music. Enjoy.

The Hymnal that we sing that-says it is well with my soul, shouldn’t it be, it is well with my spirit. For when we were lost, we were body and soul, and now that we are saved, we are in the body soul and spirit. Just checking

I grew up with these men at the Faith Baptist Church of Pekin, IL during the 70s...until their father was called to go to seminary in Pontiac, MI. The Tharp Brothers are good singers, preachers and have their children in Christian service! Praise the Lord for good, sound music, and for faithful ministers of the Word. The link below is the Tharp Brothers singing at NBBC.

If you do not know who the Getty's are, please look them up before posting. Have you noticed that the new Majesty hymnal contains music from the Gettys/Sovereign Grace? What is your opinion on that? I find it an outrage that they are digging through garbage to find good music. I think it is sad I can't just buy a CD from a trusted source without knowing if there is CCM behind the music. Why aren't pastors stepping up and writing the Hamiltons? Why aren't we fighting for our music? Why have we stopped caring about associations? Don't people understand as soon as a weaker Christian hears you listening to something like "Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone" they will automatic…

I was raised in the IFB movement during the 70s and stayed in during the 80s-2000. While I was in the IFB circles I heard preachers constantly preaching about the Rock and Country/Western music scene and how they were "sensual, devil inspired" types of music. Many had some great background on it, but yet I found that they were allowing some CCM into their services that had the same driving beats, slurred English (Slurring words to make them sound more 'Southern' in nature...example, Karen Carpenter), and swaying, montra type lyrics. It bothered me to some degree. I was very heavy into the Rock and Country scenes growing up, especially since my father owned part of a Weste…
