Hi Sylvia:

David Phelps performed at our church once and he sang this song. It gives me goosebumps. This is for you.

Just as I am:

I appreciate that, GWQ.

There are so many ways of expressing reverence for our Creator.

Don't you just cherish our new-found freedom?

Everyone has different ways of worshipping and as long as it comes from the heart I doubt that God objects to certain music. The Jews were very exhuberant with their worship singing and dancing. I love the old hymns but I also love the contemporary gospel. I think each generation speaks to their generation. I grew up listening to rock music. I have no problem with younger people (such as my daughter) listening to this kind of music. It speaks to them unlike the old hymns.

Don't you just cherish our new-found freedom?

I've never been a witness (just my parents) but we're all in bondage whether we admit it or not, either through substance abuse, money, anger, greed, depression, hopelessness etc etc. I believe the only way toward freedom is through Jesus.

From the Delirious song Our God Reigns: The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

I don't know if this is the right version of Near the Cross you mentioned:

I was only going to stay long enough to have my lunch. Have a great weekend.

I just want to add this link. Trying to do some housework and listening to gospel. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Oh yeah, baby. I remember them at the Harlem Fest in 1969.

It was #1 on the Gospel and Pop charts for a while.

Delirious? are fantastic in concert - I definitely recommend going to a gig if you get chance

Try these by Delirious? - slightly more secular but the message is there:

I'm not a religious person anymore, but since leaving the Witnesses I've discovered polyphonic chant. Beautiful music.

Sad emo: thanks for the Delirious links. I hope to see them next fall in Houston Texas. My brother lives near by. I've never heard of Chris Cook but enjoyed it.

SuperficialLoon: I enjoyed that. Have you ever heard Liberia. I listened to Sibelius growing up so was familiar with the music before I even heard this version.

Be still my soul:

These are most of the songs we sang today. Some are new to me.

Hillsong, Still: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk8horRi3_E

Hillsong, Came to my rescue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZictOwuOsQ

Consuming Fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duAWb9iwa6A (sorry, had to edit, wrong song, wondered why it sounded different)

Matt Redman, You never let go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FWj7yqf6oM

and ended again with I Am Free. It's such an uplifting song. It was a great time of worship.

A few days ago I listened to this piece on a classical station. I was so moved by it, very Jewish and melancholy. I don't remember hearing it before as I have stayed clear of the movie Schindlers List, not sure if I could handle it. So I looked up some messianic music and found these. Hope you enjoy them.
