tKingdom Melodies I remember/liked.

OK bucking the trend here, but there was some KMs I liked, alot of stick has been given to "Gods Loyal Love"....well I liked that one. Nice Melody.

I think Song 4 "Gods promise of a paradise" too. And Song number 15 "Life without end at last".....remember this was in the brown book....Still like that one, especially at conventions, always guaranteed to be on the Sunday programme, still get teary eyed at that one.

What I want to know is what happened to "Keep your eyes on the Prize"....I can remember writing those words out on a sheet and hanging it in my room, surely the classic JW Kingdom Melody of all time...guaranteed at conventions circa 70's/80/s......still miss it, and hum it even now occasionaly.

Not in the songbook, but one that stuck with me...
A song that I was taught to help me remember the names
of the books of the bible:

Sung to the ABC song:

Genesis, Exodous, Leviticus
Numbers, Deuteronomy
Joshua, Judges, the book of Ruth
Jehovah's word is the book of truth

1st and 2nd Samuel
1st and 2nd Kings
1st and 2nd Chronicles
The necessary things

Ezra, Nehemiah
Esther, Job and Psalms
Proverbs, Ecclesiastes
Song of Solomon

Isaiah, Jeremiah
Lamentations too
Ezekiel, Daniel
The famous Hebrew

Hosea, Joel and Amos
Obadiah too
Jonah, Micah, Nahum
Now there's just a few

Habakkuk, Zephaniah
Just a few remain
Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
make 39 in name

Sung to the tune of London Bridges:

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts
The bible gives us all the facts

Romans and Corinthians
That's the way it all begins

Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians
Colossians, Thessalonians

1st and 2nd Timothy
The scripturs are in harmony

Titus, Philemon it's true
In the book of Hebrews
James and Peter
John and Jude
Revelations...now we're through!

"O Walk With God" was simple and had a nice melody.

O walk with God in purity, relapse not into sin. With God keep your integrity and his approval win!

If you would keep his truth so grand, by men be not beguiled --

But let God lead you by the hand, just as a little child.

(Oh if only this song were more than just words !!)

it was in the GREEN songbook -

dedication

i still find myself humming it from time to time: "take my life and bring it Lord, with your will in one accord......" etc.

I remember the purple song book I think it was called "Singing and Accompanying yourselves with music in your hearts" and it always had a familiar smell to me that was comforting whilst I stood songbook high at my mums side at the KH. Sing Praises to Jehovah came later. Still what happened to Keep your Eyes on the Prize? When we swapped, I don't remember that being sung again, or am I wrong?

I always liked "A Victory Song", and "Fear Them Not"...they were kinda dark, a little angry even. Those two songs made me especially zealous. I was so ready to die for my god, should the need have arisen. Glad those days are over.

Oh, and I still catch myself humming one that wasn't in the songbook:

My name is Adrienne

I love Jehovah,

I'll serve him always eternally

If I obey him, he'll show me favor

In paradise I'll be

I learned that when I was 2 or 3, and I'll never forget it.

~Adrienne

Jehovah God is My Shepherd was one of my faves.

Victory Song was kinda cool cause it was different from the others (Came from the Egypt drama). The problem was it made my conscisnce feel bad, because secretly I sided with the egyptians. They seemed like the underdogs. I just wanted those wheelless chariots to get a bit closer so the egpytians could get midieval on those Red Sea pedestrians.

If only they'd invented the amphibious assault vehicle, we might be on a "Ex-Ra's Witnesses" board right now.

Amen to that

Amen Ra!

ScoobySnax -- "Keep your Eyes On The Prize" still is in the songbook, towards the end.
