Vineyard sang a song called The River is Here. Are you familiar with it?

I can't say I am familiar with that song, Cameron...

When I first became a Christian, at least two of the churches I was attending sang modern praise and worship.
I found I really liked it! Then one day when I went to work, someone had left a shoe box full of cassettes
of modern praise and worship on my printing machine for me! I think it was from my boss/his wife, as she
attended the church where I was baptized. So I became acquainted with more songs that way. Also, shortly
after my conversion, I turned 50 and bought myself a telly after not having one for 17 years... I thought a
nice small set would do, and then, I came home with a Sony Wega, 42" flat screen digital TV! LOL!!! But I did
not get cable for a few years, mostly watching videos and mostly with my daughter when she was visiting,
and at other times, I had the TV tuned to a Christian radio station (Galaxy - The Light, or something like that),
and they played modern praise and worship, which I listened to throughout the day when I was home.
Over time certain songs really stood out for me, and then I would look up the song and artist on the tube...

I'll check out The River is Here now .:)

Music, like sermons, is very powerful in their season. It seems almost as if God knows what we need and when. Usually a top 5 list includes the last 5 subjects that God has been working on us on.

Just pick your latest 5. It was an impossible task. So when you get what I call an "elephant" task, just eat it one bite at a time.

Like currently, the first 2 or 3 notes of these 3 songs come on and my daughters like "oh! Mom likes this song." (sometimes before I even know/realize what's playing :LOL: )

Ann Wilson: Strong

Brandon Lake: Praise You Anywhere
www.youtube.com/watch?v=do7GNke_P0U


Toby Mac: Faithfully

Then there's what I like to call timeless classics, like the old hymns, or the worship songs that are just great (powerful) no matter what the circumstance.

Because He Lives!

As I was scrolling youtube for my first 5 videos I stumbled onto this one and thought "Oh yeah! I forgot about that song!"

PS ~ I did not mean to post the videos, but the links to YT must have auto-inserted them! .o_O

Maybe it happened when I edited to add the last sentence? I'm mystified LOL

No problem! One has to chop off the "https://" at the beginning (start with www) or the CC site will post the video screen. I put that in Rule 2.

Thanks for posting your 5! I noticed Wendy Whitehead gives 'Come, Now is the Time to Worship' an almost 'Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries' delivery. :)

You are welcome, Sculpt, and thank you for the personal invitation to join! Ah! When I first read the OP,
I did read that about chopping off the http, but that was shortly after your OP showed up, and I had
forgotten that part in the interim! I didn't post any at first because, as I said, choosing only five?
Yeah, heh, I have so many .:D.May Delores R.I.P. .:cry:. Good luck to all who participate :)

Ah, so it wasn't just me.

Sculpt, do you always do this private message campaigning when you start a thread? Or just for music threads?

Mine was a public invitation... but considering what you say of yourself in regards to music, it should be no surprise you would get a personal invite! :D

Best Christian Song of All-time Tournament 2024 - EVERYONE Welcome to Participant

Just for fun and to share our favorite songs, I thought we can have a christian song tournament. This refers to recorded songs.

Rules:

1. Please post a list of what you think are the 5 best christian songs.
- Your list must include the full Song Title and the Recording Artist (example: El Shaddai - Amy Grant). That's all you need! (please verify it's the full song title and spelled correctly)​

2. (Optional) you may include a youtube link to the specific song version you want considered - which you can do by cut/paste the URL address and remove the "https//", so it looks like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8txqw-u4V78
- Do NOT use the Insert/Video function as this will make it difficult to load the page for everyone.​

After enough lists are posted, the top vote getters will be included in a final poll thread for everyone to vote on, including CC Members who have not submitted a list.

What's a Christian Song? -- You decide. A christian song generally conveys any expression of the faith. It does not have to be a praise song. It can be a hymn, but you must include a Recording Artist.

Below I've included a few examples to spark some thoughts:

El Shaddai - Amy Grant -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=8txqw-u4V78
Jordan Feliz - The River -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=maT4phfTXR4
Hold On - Kansas -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xikm2YS_7xM
In The Light - DC Talk -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQoK_ryT3uc
The Voice - The Moody Blues -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBNgPf0Sss4
Carrie Underwood - O Holy Night -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsvSWLtUxHk
Awesome God – Rich Mullins -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBnzAepXOE8
Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X_2IdybTV0
Wherever I Go - Dan Bremnes -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=S15mk_5nTdY
You Light Up My Life - Debbie Boone -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOShEUn0aA4
Road to Zion - Petra -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFHX55W6mSQ
Thy Word - Amy Grant -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6LC8cu03Ig
Jesus, Take The Wheel - Carrie Underwood -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=lydBPm2KRaU
Dive - Steven Curtis Chapman -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXqXIicm8uU
Love Divine - Phil Keaggy -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALVI-O_vbiM
Kerry Livgren - Ground Zero -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5M4OIWbLII
