I think "Isaac was the only one" rhymed with "son" and she just "went there"!
Also, one time I heard a youth choir singing "Long As I Get King Jesus" with a five year old girl singing the lead!! I was like PUH-LEEZE! little girl you would be totally lost without your mother, father, sister, brother, preacher, teacher, doctor, etc.......)
I know Peach is going to shoot me, but....
Diane: Abraham had a son
Choir: Work it out!
Diane: Isaac was the only one
Choir: Work it out!
Umm... Isaac wasn't the only one. What about Ishmael? In her defense, maybe she disregarded him on purpose, though, because he wasn't THE PROMISED son.
I don't know if everyone will know this song, but there's an old one that says, "Whatcha come here for? Rock Daniel!" In all my years I haven't figured that one out.

Are you sure you got the words right?? :?

To me that didn't make any sense!! (The song is fine, but shouldn't only Dianne be singing those parts??)
OR..........people don't know the word enough to recognize it when it's misquoted!
To this day when we sing the 2nd verse of "Praise Him"...some choir members sing...."God is our Rock....Rock of salvation....A strong DELIVERANCE" (or maybe they're saying DELIVER US, not sure)!
Either way, common sense (and their "diction-insistant" director) would repeatedly say THAT MAKES NO SENSE! I went person by person...row by row...one Wednesday night and everyone said DELIVER-ER but when we sang all together again...........business as usual!
There is a song that says "If I perish, let me perish, I'm going to see Jesus." But the bible says: "Thou shall not perish but have everlasting life." So if one perish, will they see Jesus? NO.
LOOPY STOP! I can not holler at work like that!

Herman, I think that's a whole 'nother topic when people sing the wrong words to songs and that is a MAJOR pet peeve of mine!! I'm like if you gon' sang a song make sure you sing a song right, or at least make sure the words you are singing make common sense! I could start a whole new thread with some of the stupid (and funny) stuff I've heard people say when they sing the wrong words to a song!!
Like: "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved THE REST like me!!! :lol:
My MOM has this bad! And then when I tell her the correct lyrics, she gets mad. So I just let it go, knowin' we sound foolish. I be on the organ like, I hope nobody catches it, that's embarrassing!
Quote from: jehovahpraizeThere is a song that says "If I perish, let me perish, I'm going to see Jesus." But the bible says: "Thou shall not perish but have everlasting life." So if one perish, will they see Jesus? NO.
That quote comes from the book of Esther when she says "If I perish, I perish. I must see the king." During those days if you went in to see the king without an appointment you were subjuct to be stoned!!!

So who is the song referring to? It's just that when I hear the song, I think of "Thou shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
To me that's where the confusion comes in?

OMG!! I know just how you feel!! I've worked with a couple of directors in the past like this and I'm sitting there playing and gritting my teeth the whole time because I KNOW they're singing the song wrong!! It's the most frustrating thing in the world!!

In defense of "Work It Out", God tells Abraham in Genesis 22:2 to "Take now your son, your ONLY SON Isaac ..... I guess denoting that Isaac is the son of promise. So the song isn't entirely wrong and is not totally against the word
SORRY COGIC 8O

My church here in Reno sings:
Oh the Blood of Jesus (3 times)
AND WE MUST NOT SUFFER LONG
Okay I really think that this phenomenon, only occurs at COGIC churches in Reno (it's like a malfunction in the song lyric continuum or something), but isn't it IT WASHES WHITE AS SNOW? Has anyone outside of Reno ever heard that alternate ending before? Me and another organist who came out of the Baptist church (apparently untainted by this mistaken lyric epidemic) tried to start a campaign to get them to sing the right lyrics, but to no avail. Everybody looks at us like we're dumb.

There is a greeting song called "The Jesus In me Loves the Jesus in You."
I can get with it until it gets to the part where it says:
"You're easy, you're easy, you're easy . . .
You're easy to love."

8O 8O I thought it was "so easy...so easy...easy to love" :D :o

I've got to see Jesus when I rise!
Huh? For real? So, you see the face of Jesus every morning and after seeing His face you chose to stay here on Earth and not go with Him! For real? You are one of the few people who could stand to see His face and still live HERE? What a contradiction!
Bless that wonderful name,
What does the last line say???
See ya'll been lying in church all these years, ya'll know more names than Jesus, OH YES YOU DO...
How about Kirk Franklin's "Hosanna"???
I don't know, but I don't see anywhere in the Bible where one of Jesus' name is "Hosanna".
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but that song never made sense to me.
I mean, during the ad lib, Kirk says "What's His name" and the choir says "Hosanna". And the lyrics say "Hosanna forever we worship You".
I thought Hosanna meant to praise God.
Laura
You missed it LadyWiz...
I know that is the song, but we been singin a lie, we KNOW more names than Jesus, that's what I'm saying...
It may be the sweetest name we know, but not the ONLY name we know.
Quote from: itsallpeachI think "Isaac was the only one" rhymed with "son" and she just "went there"!
Compromise the Word for a rhyme!!! LOL!!! :lol:
Herman, you are right, we can name many that are a bit "off" from scripture. People get so caught up with the beat that they really don't take the time to listen to the lyrics.
Let me start off the list with: "Cooling Water"
Ok
The song for once and all IS
Whatcha come here fo
Rock Daniel
Whatcha come here fo
Rock Daniel
My grandmother or someone aged said it was kinda of an old term that ment have a good time...
(HOPE THIS CLARIFIES FOR SOMEONE)
It is in the morning when I rise, but like I said on another thread I always thought they were singing;
In the morning
When I ride
I wanna white pony (I wanna rise holy)
When I ride.
OK OK OK I know I know.
What about "walk around heaven all day", and what about "Keep a inchin' along"
And then "I'm going to tell God how you treated me after while"
Ya'll shouldn't have started this one, I got a big list...
Bless that wonderful name,
What does the last line say???
See ya'll been lying in church all these years, ya'll know more names than Jesus, OH YES YOU DO...
Ya'll need to come down here where folks be singing songs like:
I want to die easy (when I die)
I want to die easy (when I die)
Lord I want to die easy when I die
O.K. now tell me that is a chuch song or even makes sense. :lol:
There is a song that says "If I perish, let me perish, I'm going to see Jesus." But the bible says: "Thou shall not perish but have everlasting life." So if one perish, will they see Jesus? NO
It is in the morning when I rise, but like I said on another thread I always thought they were singing;

OK OK OK I know I know.
Remember Me, Remember me, Did the Lord forget someone??? Did he foget you????
HMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Let me start off the list with: "Cooling Water"
Oh forgot this one, I love Donnie but "we fall down, but we get up..." C'mon...help a sista out on that....me is confused.

Also, this may be off on a bit of a tangent, but I was at a program recently and a choir sung "The Remix" and the lady leading it sung the son WORD FOR WORD, including the overseas and foreclusre parts!! To me that didn't make any sense!! (The song is fine, but shouldn't only Dianne be singing those parts??)

Loopy you a true prophet! I was at church last night, and these kids were singing work it out -- the remix, I was thinking, "Now I know they got sense enough not to say ALL the adlibs esp. the ones that really don't apply", but I couldn't have been more wrong! I was like, maybe people won't understand what he's sayin' and just think it's "cute" anyway. But sure enough people were standing up clapping and gettin' into the song, and then when he got through all of those parts, everybody was like "Wha...??"

That sorta reminds me of this youth choir that came to our church singing that song by Dottie Peoples called "Brighter Day Ahead." Now the girl that was leading the song couldn't have been no more than 10 years old. You should have seen the look on my face when she was singing this part:
I've had my share of life's ups and downs,
(there's a brighter day ahead),
almost leveled to the ground,
(there's a brighter day ahead).
My money got low and the crowd got thin,
(there's a brighter day ahead),
King Jesus heard my cry and He stepped right in,
(there's a brighter day ahead)
8O 8O 8O 8O
They didn't have a musician so the director asked me if I would play for them...so i was obediant and did so, but I wanted to stop the song and find something else for them to sing.
I never understood this song:
Children there's a dark cloud rising, let's go home.
Children there's a dark cloud rising, let's go home.
Can't you see the lightening flashing, can't you hear the thunder rolling.
Children there's a dark cloud rising, let's go home.
I mean, why sing that song on a perfectly sunny day. Or even if a dark cloud is rising while you're in the middle of worship service, are you gonna pack up and go home???? Somebody please shed some light on this one :?

All I know is that we have some scary hymns in the Church! We sing about blood flowing from a fountain, comin out veins, bein washed in the blood of a lamb, shedding blood, bled and died, Do you rest each moment in the Crucified, Blessed be the fountain of blood, Sinful and black (like some of you ;D)(But why black), Im just kidding, but I was there singing these hymns thinking there has to be some sinner scared of of his mind right now looking for a door. 8)

NO this is a real song!!! My pastor used to sing that...And it is really a true song.
Bb Shouting...EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw (juss messin itsallbanans i mean itsallpeaches ;D)
How about....
The Israel song....Here I Am To Worship...Its all good til we get to the "I'll never know how much it cost to see my sins upon that cross" We do know what it cost.. IT COST HIM HIS LIFE!!!!

well if Jesus is on the main why you hafta (next stanza)
call Em up and tell Em wa chu wont
(lead singin w/all her might)
Call Em up Call Em up......
How about Kirk Franklin's "Hosanna"???hosanna means ...oh save! Or, it can be an exclamation of adoration. Or it can mean something similar to "all hail the King". But hosanna is definitely NOT a name of Jesus no matter what any song writer tries to get the church to believe....Laura, I'm with you on this one. That song gets on my last nerve.
I don't know, but I don't see anywhere in the Bible where one of Jesus' name is "Hosanna".

What's the Matter with Jesus...He's AlrightMy 1st lady had me rollin' when she sang this! This kid sitting behind me was like, "What does she mean what's a matta wit' Jesus? I thought he was alright"
What's the Matter with Jesus...He's Alright

We were no good for the rest of the service.
I once heard this COGIC song, it said something like "you can not join in, you must be born in the Church Of God In Christ." What does the song mean by that. My cousin is COGIC and she told my it means what it says. I don't get it.
COGIC peeps, help a sister out.
What's the Matter with Jesus...He's Alright
My grandmama used to sing this one. I just thought it was an affirmation about the goodness of God. There is no fault in Him, He is alright. (What's the matter with Jesus or can you find anything wrong with Him; NO you can't)
We are NOT cliquish! LOL!!
If ya ask me, they're being a bit cliquish. :D
Is that Lazarus¿ :DLOL
hosanna means ...oh save! Or, it can be an exclamation of adoration. Or it can mean something similar to "all hail the King".

I'm Climbing up on the Rough sde of the mountain...... Just a shame. No pwer barley making it type song.
Aight. The rough side of the mountain represents trials and tribulations and the singer says I must hold on to God's powerful hand and he's trying to stand faithful because he's trying to make it in.
I don't know if everyone will know this song, but there's an old one that says, "Whatcha come here for? Rock Daniel!" In all my years I haven't figured that one out.
oohh... I got one...
A classic quartet song:
On my way home (oh on my way home)
On my way home (oh on my way home)
On my way home (oh-oh-oh on my way home)
Fix it Jesus, fix it like you said you would....
I mean... did your car break down or somethin on your way home? LOL!
OK, I've got one.....
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'm gonna fly away, I'm gonna fly away
I don't know the rest of it.....
Then there's one about the bosom of Abraham...................most of the words escape
me................I'll have to give it more thought :)
Y'all have put so many songs on here that we've been singing forever ;D Some glad morning when this life is over I'll fly away. I always thought we were singing about after we die we'll go home to be with the Lord. The I'll fly away part I thought just meant your soul leaving your body going back to the Lord.
I don't think they are saying it to call Jesus Hosanna, but instead in adoration like the people did back in the day. When Jesus rode into town, the people cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. (Matt. 21:9).but there's the part where kirk says, "what's his name?" and the backgroung replies, "hosanna"
oohh... I got one...LOL!!!

Is there a separate thread for lyrics that are theologically OFF or is it here? Because I wish to bring to the table Tonex's "Everything" off the O2 album. The chorus says, "Everything that you want, just say the word and I'll provide it for you". Someone needs to show me that scripture.
At the same time, MaryMary's "He Said", where the chorus says "...He said, I'll do whatever you want me to do...". Again. Scripture, please? He said a lot of things, but that was not one of them.
It is a big pet peeve of mine when lyrics are biblically/theologically unsound because (1) it paints an incorrect picture for unbelievers and (2) it underscores some of the bad teaching that a lot of people get anyway.
but there's the part where kirk says, "what's his name?" and the backgroung replies, "hosanna"
But where, praytell, is the smooth side of the mountain? It's like you don't have a choice but to climb the rough side.
See, I also felt like the song "Long as I got King Jesus, I don't need nobody else." Here's what I believe, as far as opinions and things God approves, we don't need nobody else. But God also wants us to have people who we can talk to. So I agree, that in one sense that song doesn't have much meaning.
Watch out ya'll for the Call and Response songs you never know what will come out. The most irritating song to hear would be "What's the Matter with Jesus....(Response)...He's Alright. Lord have mercy we should all know he is alright I Mean, my God he is a SPIRIT! He has no pain! My father's cousin..."God rest his soul" was singing this song, and he got caught up "like Brown from Madea" (LOL) and we were all singing and he was singing his heart out and he said Oh He's Alright, Oh He's Alright....When I Robbed a Bank he's Alright! I was on the Organ and ya'll I almost fell off the seat in the middle of the song. The music section was torn up the whole service. Even the pastor said we got to start learning new songs.LOL!!! Some of the funniest stuff happens at church!
Please everyone when you are doing Call and Repsonse songs don't air out your dirty laundry "trust" you are forgiven under the Blood of Jesus. LOL!

Please everyone when you are doing Call and Repsonse songs don't air out your dirty laundry "trust" you are forgiven under the Blood of Jesus. LOL!
OK, I've got one.....
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'm gonna fly away, I'm gonna fly away
I don't know the rest of it.....
Then there's one about the bosom of Abraham...................most of the words escape me................I'll have to give it more thought :)
That would be ROCK-A MY SOUL IN THE BOSOM OF ABRAHAM, OH ROCK-A MY SOUL. Now that you mention it, what da world?!?!??! ?/? ?/? ?/? :o ?/?
I didn't read all the threads but I read enough to get a little upset. If God reveals a song to someone, it has meaning. Someone said "Cooling Water". That song has meaning. If you have ever felt the holy ghost, it DOES feel like cooling water flowing through your body! And if you don't like that song then you probably won't like Marvin Sapp's new song "River Flow". Ok...then someone said "As Long As I Got King Jesus". If you will listen to what she's saying...She says "I know He's a burden bearer, I know He's a heavy load carrier..." Man cannot be these things! God places people in your life to help you in life's journey but they cannot bear your burdens or etc! Man can help you to the altar but man cannot save your soul! That's what she means! You can't take this song that literal! With any song, think about the words before you sing them. I always ask God for meaning in a song before I play them or sing them! And...THE ANOINTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!

Let me start off the list with: "Cooling Water"
And they say lots of Praise/Worship aongs have empty lyrics!church services were referred to as church meetings. The vamp, says theyre talking about The Holy Ghost
The old hymn writers may have been inspired, but they weren't perfect...people forget that it is the BEST hymns that get passed down, they forget about the unscriptural clunkers!
One chorus I like but can't figure out is...
Something got a hold on me...oh, yes it did
Something got a hold on me
I went to a meeting one night,
(next line unclear - I hear different versions - like "my heart wasn't right" ???)
Something got a hold on me.
Somebody illuminate this for me?

That's not so far fetched. Subject matter coulda been about a non beleiver that got invited that go convicted...

That's what the song's about actually. Part of the song goes
"It was at a revival, on the mourner's bench
I was filled with misery
The same God, that touched my mother
He laid his hands on me"
and
"They were singing "Come ye that love the Lord"
And I thought they were singing to me
Something hit me (unintelligible) my head, and ran down to my feet".
You're right. Once, somebody in another thread mentioned a gospel song they thought had no meaning. After I broke the song down line by line and gave biblical references, they were finally able to see that the song really did have meaning. A lot of the time, we just listen to a song's words clumped together and automatically think that it doesn't make sense. That's why I think courses studying gospel music are a good idea. When you break something down and study it, you can find the true meaning(s) behind it and understand it better. Isn't that why we have Bible Study?

Well, I'll give you two gold stars if you can break down Donald Lawrence's Uzziah for me. That is his worst song ever, IMO. And really, the only "bad" one he's ever done (again, IMO).I too, do not like Uzziah. It draws on a doctrinal assumption that the death of Uzziah was some how causal to when the prophet saw the Lord... no one's ever proven that as far as I know, so to write a song on that "theory" is shaky ground from jump, IMO.
Thanks - could you give me a source for the lyrics, please?

The lyrics source? My ears while listening to the 1959 rendition of the song by Rev. James Cleveland and the Voices of Tabernacle. ;D

What about "walk around heaven all day"
Ahhhh now there is rub....there is no smooth side, hence the admission to this thread...... The bible tells us to speak to the mountain
Are you implying that never have to go through tribulations?? All we have to do is speak and they will immediately go away?"Death, and life, are in the power of the tongue. They that enjoy it will eat its fruit.."
"Death, and life, are in the power of the tongue. They that enjoy it will eat its fruit.."
"if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done......"
Ahh... yes, I am familiar with thatsongscripture , and I am a firm believer of it... I made the previous statement to say this...
I think that people often take songs out of context... songs like "rough side of the mountain" were not intended to imply that we should just accept our circumstances or that life should be one long, sad, painful, journey
The "mountain" in this song is just a metaphor that represents the burdens and hardships that we will experience on our way to heaven... the trials that we all will take on in life.
The song could have very well used the terms "valley" or "rain" or "the fire" to represent hard times in life...
As for the scripture you quoted... Read the rest of the 17th chapter of Matthew
just to be brief, I'll just quote these:
19 - Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 - And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 - Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
I believe the scripture was talking about having the faith to do the seemingly impossible... like casting out demons and healing the sick, etc. and was not intended to be interpreted as an easy way to avoid tribulations and suffering

Oh no! Not the Sanctified Slide! LOL
Well, there's one song in particular that I think fits this bill by the Roberta Martin Singers from '57. James Cleveland wrote it and it's called "Every Now and Then". The words say "He doesn't come often, but he stops by every now and then." I was discussing the song with a friend, and I said James Cleveland made God sound like He's with us sometimes, and not with us during other times. The scriptures say He's omnipresent.
Oh no! Not the Sanctified Slide! LOL
What's next? The Baptist Booty Pop?
but maybe he may have meant that when we want God to step in right away when we want Him...IDK???
How about ALL of the "Hallelujah is the highest praise" songs. What page was that on again? I read about the people saying Hallelujah a lot in the Bible (and it means, praise the Lord). But there are also instances of people shouting out "Hosanna" and "Selah"! So, how was the determination made as to which one meant more than the other, and on what scale were the words weighed in order for that one praise to become the HIGHEST!? And what is the lowest praise? AMEN MAYBE! Oh no, well that means "it is done". Right?Hallelujah is the highest praise songs really irk me. I have yet to find scripture supporting that.
]Hallelujah is the highest praise songs really irk me. I have yet to find scripture supporting that.Actually someone put it to me this way, and it makes sense. Praise can be attributed to anyone or anything, but highest praise is praise to God. The word hallelujah literally means "Praise God"
]Hallelujah is the highest praise songs really irk me. I have yet to find scripture supporting that.
Jonathan, that scripture does not support the assertion that hallelujah is the highest praise. It does nothing more than provide an instance wherein the command was used.
It's like Nessa said, the word "hallelujah" is actually a commanding phrase that means "you praise God." You can offer praise to anyone, for anything, but the highest praise you can offer is that to God... which is why some people insist that hallelujah is the highest praise.
Nonetheless, the word itself isn't a praise anyway, it's a command to praise. It's like saying, "clap your hands for Jesus, everybody." Except, you're saying "praise God, everybody."
Actually someone put it to me this way, and it makes sense. Praise can be attributed to anyone or anything, but highest praise is praise to God. The wordHallelujah does not mean "praise God". It is a command or exhortation or order and literally means "You praise God!!" It's as if I told you "Close the door!!" and instead of closing the door, you told me "Close the door" in response. Similarly, when someone standing in the pulpit says, "Praise God!!" we shouldn't say "Praise God" back to them, we should actually praise God.Really?
Revelation 19:1-6
"After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for His judgments are true and just; He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants." Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever." And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"
"And from the throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you His servants, you who fear Him, small and great." Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For The Lord our God the Almighty reigns."
Hmm...Ooops!! I didn't notice that you said what you said before I said what I said.
Hallelujah does not mean "praise God". It is a command or exhortation or order and literally means "You praise God!!" It's as if I told you "Close the door!!" and instead of closing the door, you told me "Close the door" in response. Similarly, when someone standing in the pulpit says, "Praise God!!" we shouldn't say "Praise God" back to them, we should actually praise God.
Really?I am not sure, but I think the "highest praise" may be found in Revelation 4:8-9:
Revelation 19:1-6
"After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for His judgments are true and just; He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants."

You mean like in the army when someone says, 'Ten-hut' (or, whatever the phrase is), everyone salutes the higher ranking officer?\Not quite, it would be like the sargeant saying "ten-hut" and instead of saluting, the soldiers said "Ten-hut" back to their sargeant.
Not quite, it would be like the sergeant saying "ten-hut" and instead of saluting, the soldiers said "Ten-hut" back to their sergeant.
So what I'm saying, is it makes sense (at least to me) in that context. Praising God is the highest form of praise--praise given to God is higher than praise given to any other object or being.
Yes. Steel's contention is the use of the word itself, not the act of praising God.IDK, to me, it's not a stretch then to use the word.
If I'm reading/understanding correctly. :-\
IDK, to me, it's not a stretch then to use the word.
Again, Steel is saying that, by virtue of the definition of the word, "YOU praise God", to use the word is, in essence, telling someone ELSE to 'praise God'....and he's the only one that matters. I did get what you were saying, I just thought it still fit the use in most songs where I've heard it.
Again, I think I have that correct. :-\
However, I believe that using the word to exude praise to God is quite fine with God, IMHO. *shrugs*
Praise God! [because] it's the highest praise! Sounds okay to me.
My understanding is that the "you" is actually added to the translation to emphasize the fact that it's a command and not an act.
Steel's explanation: YOU praise God! [because] it's the highest [form of] praise!
My understanding is that the "you" is actually added to the translation to emphasize the fact that it's a command and not an act.
I just hesitate to get into analyzing and being overly critical of someone's sincere praise to God. It makes people so self conscious that they are more worried about praising wrong and whether or not you or I find their praise acceptable.
Because God looks on the heart, if someone says Hallelujah and in their heart the intent is to offer sincere praise to God, I would take the leap of saying, he is accepting of that praise even more so than those who know the proper terminology, and don't have the sincerity.
I'd like to add the beloved Breakfast Song. ;D
whut? in dat dere song is a werd from on high!!!!
My understanding is that the "you" is actually added to the translation to emphasize the fact that it's a command and not an act.I agree, I would never mention this to someone who was praising God. Who am I to get in the middle of their relationship. I'm to busy trynig to keep my part of my elationship with Him together. But between us, I don't think our discussionhas done or will do any harm.

I always wondered about the biblical reference for that line in "Honor to the Dying Lamb"
King Jesus lit the candle by the waterside
To see the little children little chlidren baptised
Honor honor unto the dying lamb
?/?
Where in the Bible was that? or was this another song that was an Underground Railroad code?
While I'm still learning more about the Bible, I haven't heard of anything like that at all.
Let me ask you all this...
Do you all think those writing the lyrics to gospel/christian songs should be more responsible in their writing, making sure the lyrics are biblically sound? Singing is a form of ministry, and when there are people preaching and what they are preaching doesn't line up to God's word, we call them false teachers or their message off(??) in a way, so couldn't the same be applied in a way to a song that's the same way?
I'd have to stop dancing when it came to that part! Then after awhile, I just said the heck with it, I can't listen to it anymore. You'd be surprised how many people didn't care (and still don't) about the nonsense of this song. :x
I know Peach is going to shoot me, but....
Diane: Abraham had a son
Choir: Work it out!
Diane: Isaac was the only one
Choir: Work it out!
Umm... Isaac wasn't the only one. What about Ishmael? In her defense, maybe she disregarded him on purpose, though, because he wasn't THE PROMISED son.
I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT!!!! THANK YOU <CLAPPING>
I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT!!!! THANK YOU <CLAPPING>
Actually Genesis 22:2 says:
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Yeah, RJ is correct. It meant Issac was his only son at the time.How was he his only son at the time? Ishmael was still alive and well. I know the scripture, as well. I just can't understand how Isaac was considered the only one.

"What's to come (is better than what's been)" by some people affiliated with Donald Lawrence (forgot their name). But I guess that's technically not a "gospel" song, though...
"Were you there when they crucified my Lord?"
Oh, yeah. I was sitting right there watching the whole thing. ::)
Thats my song! LOLYeah I don't get Blue God either
While shes my fav artist right now (because of the person she is, not necessarily from a music aspect) I gotta throw Jessica Reedy's "Blue God" in the mix. ?/?
Better by The Murrillsthis joint gets a pass from me. Dude did minister the joint, and its based off of scripture. Furthermore Ive been following D Lawrence and this faith movement his songs have taken over the last few years, so I get it and its ok. It still doesnt have a place in place in worship, but I could see a choir being effective with it. And he even said God, when he was ministering which is more than ever went on in Shifting the Atmosphere. btw, have I mentioned how much I dislike that song. lol
Donald Lawrence Presents The Murrills ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jYC76VLhCM#[/url])
Why do you think it has no meaning?
The female singer from the group that sings "Better" sounds like a cross between Juanita Bynum and Tina Turner.
bring it back over here, with a time stamp while you're at it
Thats my song! LOL

LOL! My interpretation of the song is that God is sad when we don't do what we're suppose to do.
Idk though. But yeah I could see why this song may not make any sense...LMBO!
The lyrics on the CD jacket say "utterance" during that part. He'd have to explain that to me. I mean, did the Spirit give you a specific utterance to sing as part of the song? Or will it be different every time you sing it, but your spirit will kick into your "heavenly language" right at that point in the song?
... or type them on FB? :D
I don't know so I can't comment, lest I find myself on the wrong side of right.
I guess thats what people standing in the prayer line feel when the preacher is speaking in tongues in front of them, and not praying in English. weird
:D :D :D
It's Arnetta Murrill-Crooms. She's the one who leads DL's well known "I am God."

Now some of the comments said that he's not speaking in tongues, but speaking Hebrew. I don't know Hebrew so I really have no idea. I wonder if my Jewish coworker would be offended if I asked him.
Ya nasty... :D
