I'm sure someone's done this sometime in the past, but let's do it again! What is your favorite hymn? Feel free to post the lyrics. I'm going to do two, since I'm the OP. Saved by the Blood Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! Now ransomed from sin and a new work begun, Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son, Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! Refrain Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved! My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone! Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved! I am saved by the blood of the Crucified One! Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! The angels rejoicing because it is done; A child of the Father, joint heir wi…

Dear Friends, My book "The Day the Music Died" is now available in printed form (it's about time). This is an 8 1/2" by 11" comb bound manuscript that has a total of 64 pages (for now I am doing the printing and binding myself). I am asking $10 per copy (postage paid) however I can only send them to United States addresses (no international orders). I will accept payment by PayPal, money order, or check. No minimum required (order as many or as few as you like, just be patient with me in the processing your order). Please email if interested. Sincerely, Bro Steve Smith brosmith@pioneerbaptist.org

I am not certain if this is the correct place to ask this question but since it is on music it seems like the best spot. If it is in the wrong spot the perhaps the moderators can move it to the correct spot. Do IFB (I know that there are others on the site) use mechanical instruments in worship service? I ask since I don't know. Most baptist that I know do use them, but I know there are those who don't. Thanks to those who can provide an answer.

I attended a funeral today of a young 16year old boy who died a day after he struck by a car on the 29th of November. Thank the Lord he got saved an baptized at our church about 2 years ago! Unfortunately my babysitter's daughter is in the hospital so I was without a sitter but was encouraged to come anyway... that lasted all of 15 minutes. Nonetheless the service was held at a contemporary Baptist church but our pastor officiated the ceremony (Thank the Lord for that as well). The piano player/singer for the church was also playing piano while everyone filtered in to the auditorium and opened the service by playing the piano and singing "I Can Only Imagine." Being a fune…

Hi Guys, I was visiting at Baptist Church in this area. I had not been to this Baptist Church in some 20 years. and I must admit, I was shocked. When I first got saved, it was strictly Hymns and that was it. I was quite shocked when they were singing contemporary music. Folks, as an ex-pentecostal, of 20 years. I can tell you, they were singing the SAME songs of the Pentecostal Churches!!!!!! I was totally stunned! :? :shock: :freak: :Ticking Since when do Baptist's sing the same songs of the Apostate Church? (see 2 Timothy 3) Thanks be to the Lord, that the Church I am a member of, ISN'T singing those songs! We're sticking to the hymns! This link better explains what…

It is written by Habakkuk as a song, but I only know 2 allusions in hymns - "Revive thy work, O Lord" & "Sometimes a light surprises." It is written for the medieval carol tune "Personent Hodie" God above, we have heard of your works in your Word, now revive in our day works of gracious power in this needy hour. In your wrath O Lord, In your wrath O Lord, In your wrath, yet once more, Lord remember mercy. 2. When God came to our land mighty power in your hand all your tribes marched with you, singing out your glory as they told the story. Mighty shouts of praise, Mighty shouts of praise, Shouts of praise filled the land, made the heathen tremble.…

I'm looking for some good non-worldly Christian Music, Right now I only have a few select songs and it took me awhile to find them. I'm hoping to find more. I want the music to have a singer and I tend to like Instrumental Hymns with lots of different instruments but if only it could have someone singing too. Do you all have any suggestions?

Justin Martyr (139 A.D.), an early church Father "The use of [instrumental] music was not received in the Christian churches, as it was among the Jews, in their infant state, but only the use of plain song.... Simply singing is not agreeable to children [the aforementioned Jews], but singing with lifeless instruments and with dancing and clapping is. On this account the use of this kind of instruments and of others agreeable to children is removed from the songs of the churches, and there is left remaining simply singing." Tertullian (200 A.D.), an early church Father "Musical concerts with viol and lute belong to Apollo, to the Muses, to Minerva and Mercury who invent…

Music is as a soothing balm for the soul. The Lord would have us to have a joyful spirit, and not be in the doldrums all the time. In fact, unless we get our eyes off Jesus, we should never be in the doldrums, but of a cheerful spirit. Psalm 100 says "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord..." Don't you think He would rather see His children come into His presence with singing (v.2), rather than a gloomy outlook? Wouldn't He have us serve Him with gladness, rather than sadness (v.2)? Singing shows a glad heart; a glad heart shows contentment; contentment shows a Great Provider. It glorifies the Lord in the face of His enemies. Ephesians 5:19 says it best: "Speaking to yo…

Just for the record, I am not trying to stir up a debate or trouble in any way. I have a very honest question that has been giving me trouble for quite some time. I have someone very close to me who thinks that listening to rock music is okay. It is a touchy subject around us because I do not like listening to it, especially for the sake of just listening to it. I have pretty strong convictions about listening to it. This person maintains that the songs are clean, and they do not listen to songs that are dirty. I have read some of the lyrics to some of the songs, and they are clean. I didn't see anything wrong with the words, even in the world view. Now I made …

David Crowder mostly has CCM, but I liked his version of I Saw the Light, which is bluegrass. I was wondering if you guys know any more bands that have slightly more upbeat bluegrass like his?

I have been searching the internet for songs by a man who is now with the Lord. He was referred to as Singing Sam Rayburn (not sure about the spelling on the last name ). He sang at the Southwide Baptist Fellowship back in '73 or '74 and died a short time after that. If you know anything about him please let me know. I would like to find some of his albums.

Anyone have any luck finding good Christian Hymns that are just singing without instrumentals? Or maybe with piano or guitar? I have some luck but seems most have drums or don't really follow the hymnal music (as far as holding notes for a certain time and whatnot). I'm specifically looking for "Mansion Over a Hilltop" and "It Is Well With My Soul" but am hoping to find an album with multiple wholesome Christian Hymns. I plan on singing "Mansion Over a Hilltop" as a special at Church this weekend and just wondered if anyone had any tips for searching on iTunes. Thanks.

My wife has made a couple of CDs, many of the songs on them are songs she wrote. We're very conservative in our music, no rock, drums, etc. Here's a link to a song, I hope you like it. If you're interested in the CDs, PM me. Thanks. Melissa Schworer

One of our church members attended a funeral service yesterday afternoon, they had the choir from our local Mennoite Chruch, they sang the song, "When We All Get To Heaven," but they sang, "When All The Saved Get To Heaven. I never really gave it no thought, but that song is not scriptural sang as written, unless only saved people are singing it. Had you ever given thought to this?

Music that pleases the flesh is ok . . . But what about other forms of entertainment? 1 2

Okay, let me start by saying that I do not listen to worldly music, nor do I approve of it (rock, soft rock, country, rap, hip-hop, r&b, etc). However, I won't lie, and I will admit that the whole "good music, bad music" really, really confuses me. And I have a hard time explaining my stance to friends and family, which leaves me feeling very silly. The only thing I can say for certain, is that "God gave me a conviction to stay away from that music." Which is a good reason!! But at the same time, how do you explain it to someone who doesn't understand? One arguement which I always seem to hear/read, is that worldly music pleases the flesh. It's all about the flesh. …

Songs From My Journey About one and a half years ago, I stumbled across a wonderful songwriter and poet named Deborah Bolack. The lyrics of her songs and the devotional book she put together have been such a blessing to me. The songs that she has recorded and her visitors can listen to on her blog have been beautiful and edifying. But this year she has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined - twice! She composed music for two of my songs (one in June, and one just a few weeks ago). I cannot read music, so had no clue how wonderful the music she made was - until I got to hear both songs played at the Gospel Mission where I work. My heart was touched and a long…

Sis Deborah intrigued me with a recent post on her blog, and the thought of an intense look at the Saviour is what led to this poem. I hope it is a blessing to you. Just One Look Just one look to Jesus will bring healing to the soul; Just one look to Heaven and the heart will be made whole; Just one moment to see Him - just one glimpse of Him today; Falling in love with Jesus is only just one look away. One look away from the world, one look away from your sin, One look away from your idols - looking only unto Him; Just one look towards the Saviour, one turn away from the past, One heart reaching towards Jesus, looking only to Him at last. Just one look to Je…

Why Trouble The Master? Jairus' daughter lay dying, but Jesus was near; He sought the Saviour for his loved one so dear. Before the journey ended, his daughter had died; The crowd now grew restless and someone soon cried, "Why trouble the Master? Your daughter is gone. There is no more hope here, for she has passed on." Why trouble the Master, the Saviour of men? When it seems all is lost, marred and scarred by sin, He offers new beginnings, forgiveness, and grace; Jesus loves you so much, He died in your place. A fountain for cleansing, power from on high, A reason for living

Recently, I have been thinking about how the Lord has enabled me to care for the clients at Kelowna's Gospel Mission. Saying, "I love you" to anyone other than my immediate family has always been extremely hard for me due to physical and mental abuse in my past. Though I may have a hard time saying it verbally, I know that I love the clients here - because this is where my heart is, where I put my time and many times my treasures. Because Of Jesus Chorus: Because of Jesus, I know that I love you. Because of Jesus, I want the best for you. He did a work within my heart; His love to me He did impart. I love you - because of Jesus. When I was lost and all alone, Je…
