Has anyone else found that the only christian songs they know are 100 years old.
Actually the "key year" is 1923. Any song written before that is considered "public domain", and so they could be added to the "Hymns and Spiritual Songs" without all the red tape of reporting printing, sales, and meeting attendance. It the early days we used the "Intervarsity Hymnal" which had only a few more contemporary songs. Very few of the copyright holders were willing to "wave their rights" when the hymn book was being sold "at cost". The second key year is 1856, which is when the brethren hymn book "Hymns for the Poor of the Flock" was first published. The current version is called "Hymns for the Little Flock". So, practically every song sung in the assemblies is over 80 years old. |

On the note of 'what can be classified as christian", i just found a rather interesting band. The group name is "Living Sacrifice", and the following lyrics are from their song "Spirit Fall":
Spirit fall on this land,
Convicting power cleansing man
Reveal your truth to blind eyes,
Rip the scales from their sight
Holy Spirit be thee praised
Arise, be made new
In the fullness of His truth
Repent and believe by His power
You'll be free
Anointing fall on this place,
Spirit of God
We give you praise,
We give you praise,
We give you praise,
We give you...
Most/all of their songs hold the same lyrical consitency in terms of content, but the big catch is that their "style" parallels that of death metal.

Audio Adrenaline - Some Kind of Zombie Some Kind of Zombie I must have been confused or vain to let this evil in my brain Lord did i enjoy the change that You made inside my heart Oh here they come but i'm not afraid There's no temptation i can't evade Stand up straight Look through the haze I begin to walk through the maze Here they come They're all up on me But i'm dead to sin like some kind of zombie I hear You speak and i obey Some kind of zombie i walked away from the grave Some kind of zombie i will never be afraid Some kind of zombie i gave my life away I'm obliged and obey I'm enslaved to what You say. P.S.- The WOW '98 Video was awesome too  Had to turn the stereo down for some  |

What is interesting about some of the music of today, if you take away the music and just present the lyrics to those that like the "old style", they will agree that what they are reading is touching and very deep.
From Hillsongs to Donald T. Lawrence the Lord is still moving his people to write deep lyrics to meet needs.
Lord Bless,
G

Rudy you kill me, but to answer those who may seriously be asking that question. Nothing is wrong with the music. Those 100+ year old hymns as most of us know where mainly put to either tunes of that day, or have the musical flow of the time in which they were written.
Cheers,
G

There are two for me . . .
Amazing Grace (espcially this line)
The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and protion be
As long as life endures.
and
How Firm A Foundation
Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed!
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid:
I'll strengthn thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

here's another one
maybe should be on the ak string
audio adrenaline - some kind of zombie
blitz
14 kids in an old church van
with a light in their eyes and
some tracts in their hands
60 mph feels way too slow
when you got the chevy pointed
down to mexico
we all want to run the race to win
never giving up, never giving in
coming at you like a blitz
they've had three flats, and their
radiator's leaking. ain't nothing
gonna keep them from the
prize that they're seeking
they're riding all together and
it's in God's hand
They're jamming at the show
and everyone's freakin'
ain't nothing gonna keep 'em
from the prize that they're seeking
They don't get around like ordinary
fans. 14 kids in an old church van.

If anyone has heard of the records "Hymns Triumphant" by the London Philharmonic, those hymns are truly great!

I have to say, those songs nauseate me. Literally.
Exception: O LORD my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the world thy hands have made... then sings my soul...

Vaccuums and scissors and flowbees be Thine.
My own special corruption of "Blessings and Honor and Glory be Thine" from the early 90's, during the era when you could not get away from the flowbee informercials if you turned on a TV set.

I remember when Shawn had one and was trying to talk people into letting him cut their hair.
I saw a flowbee used on a show once. The tried it on a maniquin, and it jammed and pulled a bit hunk of hair out.
I do remember your song...

I'm glad Shawn never got near my head with that thing. I'm glad you remember the song. I got Bryan Daum to sing it once. Dennis's reaction to my words was "That is not good." |

Dennis was a lot of fun.
One brother begain singing the In-N-Out Hamburger jungle: "In-N-Out, In-N-Out, that's what a hamburger's all about."
Dennis, very seriously, said: "That's hamburger worship."

Dennis could be very intense especially when he was happy. I rememer how he often lit up when he encountered other Chinese people. And the time I accompanied him to a Chinese Christian bookstore in Monterrey Park, he could not contain his joy at seeing all these books in Chinese. I know the rest of us really could not appreciate Dennis's isolation at time. One time he exclaimed in Chinese, "I have believed in Jesus!" and Erik and Angel's daughter Brook, just a toddler back then, tried to repeat it. |
