Helen Baylor’s testimony is amazing and her contribution to the gospel music scene has been almost as sensational (you gotta hear her testimony to see why it’s so amazing). This track has got to be her signature song and with good reason. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Awesome God – Helen BaylorI absolutely adore this little combination of songs, it’s not fair to call it a medley per se because it’s just a great mixture of the two songs. Bill Gaither doesn’t get a lot of credit as a vocalist, more as a maker of great songs and singing groups, but he holds his own well […]
Read More God Leads Us Along – Gaither Vocal TrioYesterday saw the launch of the latest series on the blog looking at New Life. What would a blog series be without a musical theme for it? Well it wouldn’t be the first to be honest. In fact, this is the first series with a musical theme, to it, but it was a good set-up […]
Read More New Life – Musical Sounding BoardThere are those from a particular school of church songs who will look at this title and think of a typical reggae-esque chorus which has the following lyrics: I feel like pressing my way (x2) I’m on my way to glory And I feel like pressing my way Well crafted, studied and profound lyrics I’m […]

Read More Keith Green – Oh Lord You’re BeautifulA lot of today’s pop music and various other styles acknowledge their debt to the old black churches with their gospel stylings. You would not have heard the likes of Whitney, Dionne, Aretha, Chaka, Mariah, Mary J and the assortment of others influenced by them. Sure, it is a pity that those beautiful voices are […]
Read More When Jesus ComesIt’s a bit difficult being a follower of Christ, a married man, a father of three and a loner. The odd one out in the pack, funnily enough, is the loner gig. I’m growing out of it ever so slowly and ever so surely, but there are times … Anyway the reason for putting this […]
Read More DMCD Songs: He Won’t Leave You Alone – John P. Kee and NLCCI’m posting this song by the celebrated Bishop Walter Hawkins because of two reasons. One, it’s a great song wonderfully rendered and seeing it live is a beautiful thing showcasing once more the merits of great gospel music to the ears and the eyes. It’s not about coming across all nostalgic and saying they don’t […]
Read More What Is This?The story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
Read More RestorationSo following last week’s enjoyable journey down memory lane, we have another nostalgic reminiscence of some of the what is now to be considered as old school gospel choir style stuff. Except, this isn’t exactly the mould breaking stuff that all the choirs sought to emulate. Sure they sang the song, but when folks over […]
