Hymns

[JTrainDavis]

"Rock Of Ages" always brings me to another state of mind when i hear it. Does anyone have one that does the same?

 

[myrobbins7]

The song $$$$$ by Pink Floyd gets to me for some reason...

 

[OrangeEmpire]

All Hail the Power of Jesus Name... lots of instruments and a big choir....

Amazing Grace...... with a jazz flair....

 

[NEW COACH]

Jesus loves me.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

The Battle Hymn of the Republic.... when properly done......

 

[myrobbins7]

Jesus loves me.

Good song, go sing that to the ACLU..

 

[OrangeEmpire]

I'll Fly Away when properly done.

 

[NEW COACH]

I like all the songs mentioned.

what about "Victory in Jesus".

 

[OrangeEmpire]

That is a good one when done properly.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic.... when properly done......

Our choir does the Battle Hymn every 4th of July Sunday. The arrangement calls for two pianists and is very inspiring with time and key changes throughout. I do a solo of the third verse - "I have seen him in the watchfires......." It is supposed to recreate the Civil War soldiers sitting around their campfires taking turns singing hymns the night before a battle. I wish you could hear us, I think we do it properly.

 

[NEW COACH]

sounds nice

 

[rbroyles]

Hymns that I find especially inspirational:

How Great Thou Art
All Hail the Power...
Amazing Grace
It is Well With my Soul
Blessed Assurance
Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee (Ode to Joy)
Were You There
Going Home
Closer Walk With Thee
Holy,Holy,Holy
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Come Thou Fount....
He Touched Me
Be Thou my Vision
I'd Rather Have Jesus

There are others, these come to mind immediately.

 

[rbroyles]

I'll Fly Away when properly done.

We do I'll Fly Away every Monday night along with I Saw the Light, Keep on the Sunny Side, Will the Circle, Closer Walk with Thee, Amazing Grace, A Light on the River, Church in the Wildwood, Old Rugged Cross and others.

 

[NEW COACH]

"He Touched Me" is very enjoyable........when done right.

I guess you could say that about them all, but I think this one is best as a solo.

:birgits_giggle:

 

[NEW COACH]

OMG, I swear I just now realized how that sounds.

I swear I didn't mean it like that. I was just using the "when it's done right" line from OE. Didn't mean it like that. Geez, I'm dumb. :banghead2:

 

[rbroyles]

must...not...make...tasteless...joke...

Way to hold it back, I probably wouldn't have been so tactful.

 

[NEW COACH]

It wasn't supposed to be a joke. I didn't even know what vader was talking about until about the 10th time I read my post. Honestly didn't mean to make a joke.

We know, no biggee, some of the funnier things are the accidental ones.

My favorite church song has always been Everybody Will Be Happy Over There. I used to belt that out at the top of my lungs and embarrass my mom.
