I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about.  post what you know and then we should be able to expand upon it.

Here are some chords that move that way. You may want to try using Maj7 chords or Maj9, if you have a chord book this could help as well.

Gb/A Db E Ab
B/A Db Eb Ab
E/Ab Db Eb Gb
A/G Db Eb Gb
Eb/Gb C Eb Gb
Ab/Gb A C Eb
Db/F Ab C Eb
F/A Db Eb Ab(passing chord back to beginning)

Hey someone correct me if i'm wrong. The circle of 5ths, if youre starting with c maj is:
C- 0 sharp
G- 1 sharp
D- 2 sharp
A- 3 sharp
E- 4 sharp
B- 5 sharp
F#/Gb-6 sharp/flats
C#/Db-5 flats
G#/Ab-4 flats
D#/Eb-3 flats
A#/Bb-2 flats
F-1 flat

If im correct ive seen others describe the progressions in 4ths. Need clarification..Or maybe someone can explain circle of 4ths...God Bless....

I don't know any gospel songs that move in the circle of 5ths but if you listen to the theme from Mash and Europa by Santana these move like that.

Me either. Gospel songs usually have cycle of 4ths movements.
