Yes we were talking about this a few days ago. These songs are called Meter (or Metered) Hymns. Don't know about the south, but they are not really common in the churches here in the north anymore, but up here you will come across a church that will break out with one here and there.yea i belong to a little baptist church down in Texas and we still do the devotion (longest part of church)but i thoroughly enjoy it i love the Dr. Watt type songs. Im a gospel rapper and currently im working on a track that incorporates I LOVE THE LORD HE HEARD MY CRY
Yep, those were the days of Deacon Devotions, where the 1 deacon would stand up the cong up, shack each of the Deacons hand, sit the cong down, and get down on one knee and pray forever :o ?/?.
Oooh them is my songs!!!! I may be white but I sho nuff love to sing those songs!! I have an old carlton pearson cd with I love the lord on it and I sing it all the time!!!!
