Does it include this one by Adele? I found it when looking for Colin Bernard's "Hold On" lyrics just now.

Nope. The ones I couldn't find on youtube are Woodlawn Sanctuary Choir and Chozen.

Had you heard Colin Bernard's Hold On before? It was released in 2011.

Oh! He has a couple of Christmas tunes :) Just found them now, too :D

Why yes, I heard them just now on a forum thread. :cool:

(Assuming you mean before that...) Nope, never heard of it.

These two songs seem to remind me, that we are so close for the coming of our great King, Jesus!

Oh... When I saw the song title I thought it was going to be this.


In a little while we'll be with the Father
Can't you see him smile
In a little while we'll be home forever
in a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little while

And now for something really different, but still uplifting: I say, let's prove them wrong!

I like Amy Grant's songs.

I still think there isn't enough relationship topics, we need more. Come on people! :)

Since we have more than relationship thread, was hoping we can fit in one, Christian Themed music thread.

View attachment 233149 Pleazzzz!


I really like this one by Johnny Cash. Enjoy, kinda.


A genuine question. What is the difference between Christian music and Christian themed music?

Great question, what have you come up for conclusions so far, or are you just drawing blanks?

The more important question, do you have Jesus as your LORD and Savior?

I can't answer for anyone else, but for me it's something I feel.

Christian themed music was written by somebody who said, "Okay I need to write a Christian song so we can sing it and sell it." He sat down and filled a song with Christian words, put it to music and sold it.

Christian music started with "This is something in my heart that I need to express in a way that others can feel it too." Then the author chose the words that fit what he felt, a tune that fit with the words and sold it.

Oddly Christian music can become Christian themed music, if the person singing it doesn't understand what he's singing. I've heard a LOT of people sing Amazing Grace in a technically impressive but emotionally dead manner.

I only just realized you are referencing the title. Oops.

Oh well. It's early where I am. I'm not supposed to notice everything. :p

Well, any type of music that has a Gospel message is Christian music.
How can Christian music be any other way?

Oh believe me, it can. I'm a music nerd with all kinds of styles in my collection - all Christian, but everything from banjo to heavy metal, from black choir to rap, from country to Jamaican.

In every style, EVERY SINGLE STYLE, about 70% of the music I find is just puff pieces, generated to sell an album. They have the words, they have the sound, but they don't have any spiritual power at all.

That 30% that is good though... that makes the search through the other 70% worth the effort. :)

This was Gospel song of the year somewhere in the mid-nineties (1990's)
