These are the old time hymns that we heard our mothers or grandmothers sing while they were doing dishes, hanging clothes in the sunshine or baking bread…songs that fill our first memories of church on Sundays or a tent-meeting revival.

In the Garden

Shall We Gather at the River
Peace Like a River
The Lily of the Valley

We often thing of a “celebration” as an occasional event to mark a milestone or achievement…a revelry shared with friends or family. But, celebration occurs every day of our lives. Nature celebrates the glory of God’s creation.

I Just Came to Praise the Lord
Great is Thy Faithfulness
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Christ, the Lord, is Risen Today
Holy, Holy, Holy
How Great Thou Art
All Creatures of Our God and King
O Worship the King
All Hail the Power of Jesus Name
Onward, Christian Soldiers
Amazing Grace

We often thing of a “celebration” as an occasional event to mark a milestone or achievement…a revelry shared with friends or family. But, celebration occurs every day of our lives. Nature celebrates the glory of God’s creation.

One of the truly gifted songwriters and performers of our time, Andrae Crouch, has forever left his mark on gospel music. His lyrics touch people where they live; they are honest, inspiring and written out of a deep understanding and compassion resulting from personal experience. During the 70’s his music poured like a natural spring.

To think on things greater than ourselves…to appreciate all that we have…to reflect on relationships and the goals and purposes we have set…to connect our spirits to those of creation and the creator…all easier with a setting of beautiful music. Just for a moment why not shut out the traffic and stress of life and enter into tranquility.

We usually identify our favorite songs as much by the artist as by the music. For example, you probably cannot hear “My Way” without thinking of Frank Sinatra. He has forever put his “signature” on that particular song. Here are some of your favorite contemporary gospel songs whose artists have made them their own. We hope you will enjoy reliving this special music of some very extra ordinary artists.

El Shaddai
I bowed on My Knees and Cried Holy
Friends Are Friends Forever
The Basics of Life
Amen
Undivided
People Need the Lord
His Strength is Perfect
Jesus Will Still Be There
Thank You For Giving to the Lord
We Shall Behold Him

Fanny Crosby never let the handicap of being blind deter her in any way from affecting the world through her music. She lived from 1820 to 1915, and today her hymns have been and are still being sung more frequently than those of any other gospel hymn writer. Engraved on her tombstone in Bridgeport, CT are the words taken from Jesus’ remarks to Marry, the sister of Lazarus, “She hath done what she could.”

He Hideth My Soul
I Am Thine, O Lord
Blessed Assurance
Jesus Is Calling/All the Way My Savior Leads Me
To God be the Glory
Close to Thee/Savior, More Than Life
To Me/Safe in the Arms of Jesus
Redeemed/Praise Him, Praise Him
Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior
Saved by Grace
Near the Cross
My Savior First of All

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night; And, lo, the angel of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid. And the Angel of the Lord said unto them, fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy.
