Planey Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 "Say I Do" ranks high with me. I enjoy many different recordings of this song, but one by Ray Hildebrand (who I think may be the writer) is one I particularly like.

Moderators Bravus Posted March 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2006 'The Howling' by Rich Mullins. I had to pick one off his 'The World As Best As I Can Remember It, Part One', but they're all amazing - if you haven't heard that album you need to. Here are the lyrics for 'The Howling': you may well see some commonalities between this and my favourite secular song! I can see the iron horses' tracks Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel But the wind don't blow where you want it to go No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow I can feel the breath of winter Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling Then it picks me up again in its own strength And I can hear the wild wind howling And I can feel it in my bones And I know that the howling will take me home I can see some traveller's footprints There's a little bit of blood in every step he made I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing That has cut him so deeply every step along the long, long way In the west I see an evening This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark Red as the blood on the hands of the Savior And rich as the mercy that flowed from His broken heart And I can hear the wild wind howling And I can feel it in my bones And I know that the howling will take me home These men of violence, they have made this a world full of wars Oh God break Your silence and let Your justice shine forth Show some mercy, Oh Lord 'Cause I can see a people dispossessed Broken and brave in the face of so much fear Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation Whose treaties were as good as litter Along the trail of their tears I can see the Covenant colors The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of the sky And I know if we live we will live by His promise I know He who made it and And I'm sure that He would not lie And I can hear the wild wind howling And I can feel it in my bones And I know that the howling will take me home A short sample, courtesy of Amazon, is available here.

cricket Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 A simple song, but I love it, just the same: Down to the River to Pray (Alison Krauss version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodema Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Currently it would have to be Devotion by the Newsboys. I'd swear this song was written for me. LOL. [:"brown"]all my world all I've lost the wrecks I've made here the lives it cost Your hand restores Your words make whole with all my soul I thank You I owe You all my devotion all that I have to give here's my devotion You're all that it means to live all my past my tainted name You stole its legacy of pride and shame You're all I love You're all I fear I'm drawing near to face You to know You to show You devotion ... all that I have to give here's my devotion You're all that it means to live You found me in a shallow grave You tracked me out from beneath it all You healed me saved me in the nick of time Your perfect time You found me (found me) in a shallow grave (in a shallow grave) You called me out from beneath it all You touched me (touched me) saved me (saved me) in the nick of time in Your perfect time I devote all I have to You I devote all that You've made new all You restored that day You bled all that You brought back from the dead here's my devotion all that I have to give here's my devotion You're all that it means to live ....[/] Quote "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S.

olger Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Probably "Come to the Water" by the Rosedale Chorale (a Mennonite group). "Kumbaya" by Judith Durham (the Seekers) is hard to beat. Judith has arguably the purest female vocals in the world (nearing retirement age, now). gcw Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Ooooo yeah, "come to the Water" is great!

Halfstep Denise Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Just about any song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The first song that comes to mind is "Because He Lives".

Additionally, the old favorite, "How Great Thou Art" can never be left out of my choices.

Clio Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Seek Ye First Alleluia, He is Risen by Judi Stallwitz Trading my Sorrows - don't know the artist But those are only at this present time. As my spiritual needs change, so do my songs. Some of the abuse survivors I work with have found that creating "healing music" CD's is an emotionally charged way to chronicle their healing journeys. What they do is burn a CD with the various songs that sustained them through particularly difficult, joyous, or painful parts of their journey to wholeness and freedom in True Jesus. Listening to some of those CD's will blow your mind. I understand why when Lucifer fell, music became such a weapon in his arsenal. Quote A heart where He alone has first place.

Tommi Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Mine is "If I stand" by Rich Mullins, performed by Jars of Clay. There was time when singing this song was part of my morning ritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
