Gospel Music

It is true that southern gospel music borrowed from bluegrass and country music (among many other genres, including jazz).

If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known me much better
Cause my past is something that never got in my way
Oh no

Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
Oh, 'Cause I never felt the desire 'til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That's why I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh, I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades, oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
Oh, I combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore a permanent wave, yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You can get just so much from a good thing
You can linger too long in your dreams
Say goodbye to the "Oldies But Goodies"
Cause the good ole days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh, I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway, oh yes I did
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
Drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
Oh yeah, we were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You know the good ole days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive
When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah
When the memory stays, yeah
I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith
I'm keeping the faith, yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh you are
(FADE: You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yeah...)

back in the seventies when Larry and devi titus used to come to gatlinburg christian center, Larry taught us a song. it was "i love you Lord and i lift my voice". it is the same song that is so popular today. i am almost 100% sure he said he wrote it. at any rate, we were singing it in the late seventies exactly like it is sung today. you can check with him at his website and ask!

Part of the lyrics to I'd Rather Have Jesus were written in the form of a poem by Mrs. Rhea F. Miller. Gospel music singer George Beverly Shea took that poem and wrote the song using those words.

Firstly, just to explain about why slaves use gospel music. They used it for escaping their captivity and bondage. They used it like codes and subliminal messages so the slave masters would'nt know what they were talking about. How Gospel music affected them? You asked. Well this was the only way they could keep their spirits uplifted because they knew what they were going through and other times they knew that they had no choice but to hold it out and keep on working sun up to sun down until it was right for them or they got fed up.

i belive it started just before the Tudor times because no one knew king henrys talent for music probly because there wasnt any

No she stated in a interview for Essence that her and Eric are still together.

Serving the Lord will pay off afterwhile. Serving God will pay off afterwhile. Just keep working everyday, Whatever is right, The Lord said He'll pay. Serving God oh it will pay off Afterwhile.

I have to keep on working. Yes I have.. cause I want my.. I want my starry crown. I know my way.. My way gets brighter.. even tho my friends.. sometimes let me down.. Oh what time.. It will be.. when my savior.. My savior face I see...

Serving God.. OH it will pay off afterwhile. Oh yes afterwhile.

I believe The late Elder Donnell Lipford , pastor in Cleveland

It depends on what level of artist they are. Newer artist who have national releases can make anywhere from $2000-5000/show plus expenses. Mid level artist can make $5000-7500/show plus expenses. Major artist can be anywhere from $7500-25,000 per show...the higher end being for artist such as Kirk Franklin or Yolanda Adams

Well nobody acually knows. But people say that he is real. This Smiley person all started when people were screwing each other in the anus.

Spirituals , noun plural, are also called (Gospel songs) and associated primarily with American Blacks. they are essentially religious folk songs- such as Let My People Go ( of which there are two distinct versions with different tunes),Nobody Knows the trouble i"ve seen, Ezekiel Saw a Wheel!, etc. They are not noted for theological accuracy and often get things out of kilter- Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho- Fit being an obsolete past participle of the verb ( To Fight). Mahalia Jackson did scores of spirituals and related hymns and gospel songs.l

'Take this man to prison,' the man heard Herod say,

And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away.

Chained up between two watchmen, Peter tried to sleep,

But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep.

Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell,

And the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell,

And running to his people before the break of day,

There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say:

Angels watching over me, every move I make,

Angels watching over me!

Angels watching over me, every step I take,

Angels watching over me!

God only knows the times my life was threatened just today.

A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way.

Near misses all around me, accidents unknown,

Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home.

But I know they're all around me all day and through the night.

When the enemy is closing in, I know sometimes they fight

To keep my fight from falling, I'll never turn away.

If you're asking what's protecting me then you're gonna hear me say:

Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,

Angles watching over me!

Angels watching over me, every step I take,

Angels watching over me....

Angels watching over me....

Angels watching over me.

Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,

Angels watching over me!

Angels watching over me, every step I take,

Angels watching over me!

Angels watching over me,

Angels watching over me,

Angels watching over me,

Angels watching over me!

Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home...

Chorus: Deep river, my home is over Jordan, Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground. Verse 1: Oh, don't you want to go to that gospel feast, That promised land where all is peace? Oh, Chorus Verse 2: Oh, when I get to heaven, I'll take my seat, And cast my crown at Jesus feet. Chorus

Rev C.T. Nelson of Greater Friendship Church in Cleveland, Ohio sang that song.

When you are singing in church, the whole purpose behind it is to praise and worship God. Unfortunately, many churches have lost sight of that and it has just become a ritual and something that you do just because you've done it for so long there's no purpose in stopping. I would like for you to remind yourself of this when you go to church and they start singing, its to give glory to God, it has a purpose :)
