Songs, hymns, spiritual melodies... so many to choose from! The hardest part is where to start looking? One thing that the early pioneers of the church of God reformation took took to heart was putting the message of the gospel to music. Often, as they rode into a new town, one of the ways they would "advertise" that a series of services was to be held was by singing! Quite different than how we "advertise" our services today!
The message of the movement was put to melodies characterized as having "close harmony" (which some folks at the time thought was too "worldly" or "sinful"). Those melodies mixed with the message make for a gold mine of songs to choose from. We have selected some of the well known standards as well as a couple that aren't know well at all but carry a message that is timeless.
By now you are probably asking, "C'mon already! Which songs are you working on?" Glad you asked! Here is our list:
The Church's Jubilee
I Know
A Living Sacrifice
O Church of God
I Cannot Be Idle
The Old Campgrounds
There Is Joy in the Lord
Once Again We Come
There Is Joy in the Serivce
Consecration
Hear Them Calling
What a Mighty God We Serve
I Will Praise Him Hallelujah
A Child of God
Who Will Suffer With the Savior?
Let Me See Jesus Only
Are You Adorning the Doctrine?
One other undecided song but its between 3 or so songs
So this is where we are at at the moment. Maybe one of your favorites is on here... maybe you don't even know any of them... maybe you wish there was another one (or two) that was on here but it isn't... but this is the current list. Pray that the work goes well!
