Mahalia Jackson singing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gta4B1MBU0 Jennifer Holliday tearing it up!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GsfCnBQGf4 Truth is undoubtedly the sort of error that cannot be refuted because it was hardened into an unalterable form in the long baking process of history...

Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come. T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home. The Lord has promised good to me... His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be... as long as life endures. When we've been here ten thousand years... bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when we've first begun. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. --------------------- Live - Learn - Love... |

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak Audre Lord |

Mary Don't U Weep
I love how Mary is pronounced like May-ray, not "merry". LOL It was hard to find the lyrics with the refrain of "tell martha not to moan". Several versions, including one by Bruce Springstein don't have that line or the "drowned in the red sea" refrain. I suppose that's a bit of afro improvisation? Mary Don’t You Weep Oh, I’m singing Mary O Mary don't you weep Tell Martha don’t have to moan Oh Martha don’t you moan Oh Mary O Mary don't you weep Tell Martha don’t have to moan now Oh Martha don’t you moan Pharaoh's army Pharoah’s army They done drowned in the sea one day They drowned in the Red Sea But Jesus said Mary O Mary don't you weep Tell your little sister she don’t have to moan no more Oh Martha don’t you moan Now can I get a witness she said Mary O Mary don't you weep Tell Martha don’t have to moan Oh Martha don’t you moan Oh Mary somebody’s sick today O Mary don't you weep Somebody ain’t got no home Oh Martha don’t you moan This Pharaoh's army Pharoah’s army They done drowned in the sea one day They drowned in the Red Sea I believe a man say Mary O Mary don't you weep Tell your little sister she don’t have to moan no more Oh Martha don’t you moan If I could now If I could I would tell you that I surely would now Surely would Put my foot on a rock children Stand on the rock Stand on the rock where Moses stood one day Where Moses stood Because Pharaoh's army Pharoah’s army They done drowned in the sea one day They drowned in the Red Sea I believe a man said Mary O Mary don't you weep I said I believe he said Mary O Mary don't you weep Ah, I said Mary O Mary don't you weep Trouble in the land will be all over after awhile O Mary don't you weep You won’t have to give up right from wrong no more O Mary don't you weep O Mary don't you weep

My favorite is "It's Gonna Rain"
Lots of codified information in that song. "You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it. " Malcolm X |

I don't have a favorite because in TRUTH, most church songs have either bored me half to death or made me want to puke.
Church music should sound like any other music out here or there will be few takers... HowEver, I like some of the new church music that's spanned the various music genres lately. "WIAW!" "Don't talk about it: BE ABOUT IT!" "To BE One, ASK ONE!" -OES |

first off Shaya, you might want to get something checked out. Just kidding (sorta/kinda)
But for me there was a song called "Beams of Heaven" Beams of Heaven The thing is I remember our choir's rendition and liked it better., but this one is decent. Knocking jockeys off the lawn for over 50 years |

LOL....why? Because I didn't like most church music? That's cute.... I liked some gospel, but that was about it...and even that was tainted for me as I watched so many people singing and carrying on...all the while knowing that they had just come from the club a number of hours before. LOL... "WIAW!" "Don't talk about it: BE ABOUT IT!" "To BE One, ASK ONE!" -OES |
