Awesome Burnt!
I've never heard of them,they have some really good songs. I like the way they sound like early 90's hair bands.
I still think Kutless is hard to beat, but any music that praises our Lord is beautiful.

Thanks for sharing

You're welcome! They're a band that I had never heard before and I really like them too. Especially pieces like "God's Grand Hotel", "Glory to my King"... lots of energy and at my age I need all the help I can get! LOL

Sure different than Southern Gospel :-) some of which I like as well.

But I do also enjoy the more conventional, like this congregational rendition of -

"There is a Fountain"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfC3NhPACE4

Regardless of the style, THIS is the message, written by William Cowper, a man very much afflicted by his own human weakness, often overwhelmed by darkness in his life, yet he overcame and expressed his faith in writing many hymns...

"There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains..."
 
Just as some of the past listings no doubt hold meaning for one demographic more than others, the following sound will stir the minds of some more than others as well.

The unaccompanied, somewhat plaintive sound of Gaelic voices singing the Psalms brings a reflective mood that quickens the spirit of those who have their roots in Scottish culture. This is reminiscent of the Gregorian chants that once filled many church buildings as expressions of personal faith and praise.

BMr, The Gospel Plowboys are a really genuine group that I've come to enjoy. That's a good song by them.

Robin Mark - All Is Well

Another great song from Robin Mark. I find that it's easiest to trust in God's plan when things are going well. But it's the tough times that proves our faith.

"All is well with my soul,
He is God in control..." - even in the times when it seems everything is falling apart.

And further beyond what is happening in our own lives, this song carries the reassuring message that we need to remember when it seems like the world around us is falling into uncontrolled chaos.

Never forget that God is sovereign and has it all in his hands. Nothing has ever happened that caused him to say "Well I never saw that coming!" And nothing ever will surprise him.

So it's a matter of learning to trust him, "the rock of all the ages", regardless of the circumstances.

"He lowers us to raise us
So we can sing His praises
Whatever is His way
All is well

He makes us rich and poor
That we might trust Him more
Whatever is His way
All is well

All my changes come from Him
He who never changes
I'm held form in the grasp
Of the Rock of all ages

All is well with my soul
He is God in control
I know not all His plans
But I Know I'm in His hands

He clothes us now then strips us
Yet with His Word equips us
Whatever is His way
All is well

And though our seasons change
We will exalt His name
Whatever is His way
All is well"
 
Kinda hard to follow that piece by Robin Mark so here's another one by him.

Here is Love - Robin Mark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdYAPBLQMWA

The lyrics are below and hold a solid message of how it was God's love that took Jesus Christ to the cross of Calvary to buy us back (ransom) from the eternal doom brought on the human race through our rebellion against him ever since Adam's Fall in the Garden of Eden.

He did not have to go there. But he chose to take our place there since we are unable to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus, the Holy, perfect Lamb of God was the only one able to bear the punishment of our wrongdoings.

So "Heavns peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love."

You will never be offered a greater gift than God extends to us through the Cross of Calvary - " love, vast as the ocean". It is yours, for free to accept for your own, and find freedom from the power and penalty of the brokenness that afflicts the world!


"Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Lovingkindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten,
Throughout Heavns eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of Gods mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above,
And Heavns peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love."

Thanks, burnt. That is a good song. As I took the two inch steps bucking a hard wind and trying to keep my balance, I was praying to beat the band. "Help is on the way," was a good theme for my predicament. A sigh of thanksgiving and relief came upon me after I was finally able to grab a hold of the roll bar on the Ranger.

Years ago, I was trying to get about ten cows into the corral so I could load and haul them to a sale barn. Time was getting away from me, and I was sure wishing I'd saddled a good cow horse instead of trying to get them in riding a green broke mule. The cows weren't wanting to travel towards the corral at all, and I was afraid the mule and I weren't going to be able to hold them. All at once an ordinary barn cat came bounding out of the weeds. This piqued the interest of the cows, and they all proceeded to chase the cat. The cat headed for home to the security of the barn, with the cows in hot trot pursuit. All I had to do was follow along on my marvelous mule and shut the corral gate behind them. I kind of thought of that cat as "super cat to the rescue" after that. The whole scenario was brought to mind with the "Help is on the Way" song. Thanks, burnt. :-)
 
Well Soapweed, here's another song that makes a lot of sense when we get into a predicament like the one you found yourself in. That Ranger must have felt a bit like a "rock"! That's the way it is when we discover the reassurance or reserves that Christ provides for facing difficult times in life.

I, for one, am mighty glad that you were able to get back into the safety of that Ranger!

Once again -

Heritage Singers, U.S.A. - I Am Willing, Lord

We all know how easy it is to be thankful when things are going well for us - rain when we need it, good health, blessed with good family, every good thing we could want!

But what about the "trials of Job" times in our lives, when we become ill, we get caught in a drought or disaster or death...are we still thankful and willing to depend on His providence and sovereignty?

This beautiful song from way back in the '70s (leisure suits and all!!!) looks at it this way -

"...If when I'm put through the fire,
I'll come out shining like gold
Oh Lord, please don't ever stop working with me
Till you see I can be all you want me to be."

Isaiah 55:8,9 says this -

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts." (ESV)
