Songs you enjoy singing the most in church

You probably won't hear this song - "Victory," by bond - in church but it'll make you want to go out and shout hallelueh!



"bond" is one of the most popular string quartets in the world. Crank up the volume.

I don't go to church but I do sing in the school choir and what child is this is the most enjoyable as the harmony is sublime and it has a renaissance feel to it.

The least was a shout of praise as at one point in the song all 4 parts split where the alto ( which i was apart of ) singing of of of of praise him while the sopranose where singing praise praise praise him with the tenors singing shout shout shout of praise as the basses were singing praise him with a shout of praise

The conducter said it sounded fine , but it just sounded awful from where we were at that time

I've also loved singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "O Holy Night" but a faster version than usually heard on the radio.
 
here are a couple I like.

That was in 2001. I'll have to post them in my nostalgia thread!

I think they have a new member or two by now. I have that song and a few others from them downloaded from iTunes on my iPhone and iPad.

It figures you would like someone playing with their G-String.

I prefer Explosive to Victory

REgarding the Victory performance, was that how G-strings supposed to look? I don't think so.
Look at the way they're posed in Explosive though - now, that's very suggestive! I could understand the ciellist....but why would a violinist sit like that? :lol:


The way they look is a strategic marketing plan. The men who created that band had purposefully planned to have 4 beautiful, talented musicians.

What is so striking with the VICTORY piece was the verve that these 4 youthful musicians had poured into it, not to mention the electric performance that matched the exhilarating melody. It was so lively! Do they look alluringly seductive? Of course. That's marketing!


Anyway....I think we should get back on topic.

Good music, but aside from the fact that they're instrumental (not songs or hymns), not exactly videos appropriate for this topic.
 
I don't go to church, nor sing hymns, but I really love this:

This contemporary hymn is sung in the Episcopal Church but was composed by a British Catholic, Bernadette Farrell. I don't really like her vocals, so I clicked on the second YouTube hit just to see if it was any good. It turns out to be the recording I own, which was by St. Mary's Episcopal Church somewhere in the U.S.

So the YouTube appears to give credit to this Catholic parish, but the music was not recorded by them.

Both the notes and the words are hauntingly beautiful and convicting. I love "Many the gifts, many the people who yearn to belong/Let us be servants to one another, making Thy kingdom come."

Evening Edwin. Your choice "It is Well with my Soul" is a hymn that was born out of tragedy and drew the author of the lyrics to compose a hymn and only those who have suffered such tragedy could truly comprehend. Every time I hear it, I am reminded those who are steadfast in their faith understand and overcome.

I do love that hymn - and I had heard that story before but forgot about it. Loss of young child, then loss of business (Chicago Fire), then most sad - sending his wife and 4 daughters on ahead by boat to England because he'd been delayed with last-minute business, only to have his 4 daughters drown in an accident at sea... I can't even imagine.

When I sing it, I'm always reminded of the wreck that was my life without Christ and the change He brought to it.

It Is Well With My Soul

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.

Refrain:
It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain

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.

Refrain
 
This song of praise is one we have sang in church. I just love it


Today in the Polls category under "A question for Christians", a fellow DP member posted one of my very favorite Scriptures making his case.
"...But some of these branches from Abraham's tree--some of the people of Israel--have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God's special olive tree..." (From Romans 11: 17 NLT)...
Well if I didn't just stumble onto a most beautiful song putting those words to praise music! Accident? I don't thinks so, because it really blessed me.
