A person on this forum that posts roboticaly once said...paraprhasing..."if you want to twist my arm, fine 1 Corinthians 15, blah blah blah..." Translated, I don't believe but will say it with a gun to my head like a POW.
I love old hymns. They are so much more inspiring than the wimpy "I'm such a loser" Christian songs of today.
Hallelujah! That was back in the olden times when hymns were written to praise God and not attract an audience of people who need to feel good about themselves.

Yes I love the oldies esp if they are folksie gospel, I take 2nd hand bookstalls apart looking for old gospel hymns~found a real treasure in Billy Grahams song book for the Greater London Crusade NINETEEN SIXTY, compiled by Chris Barrows. Must be as old as Mr Psalmist
However
There are some super modern rock gospellies too, alas Delirious? is disbanded but can recommend The Desperate band.
Slogan/motto:
Try to be civil in the face of incivility. This is a test.

I thought this thread would sink without a trace
We love our good old hymns of worship and praise! They move us when we sing them.
Of course my Episcopal Hymnal has many moving hymns also.
.....O LORD my God, in You I put my trust. Psalm 7:1
.....To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. Psalm 25:1
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~ Leo Buscaglia
A favorite of mine. Whenever I hear it, it really gets to me. When I go to church on Good Friday, between that and "Jesus, Remember Me!" I have difficulty holding back tears.
When a Man Lies He Murders
Some Part of the World
These Are the Pale Deaths Which
Men Miscall Their Lives
All this I Cannot Bear
to Witness Any Longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take Me Home
It's not a hymn, but I think it's a song worth listening to when contemplating the Crucifixion. Dave Mustaine seems to alternate between the wickedness of mankind and Satan's rule over man's soul on the one hand, and then the sufficiency of the Crucifixion to atone for our sins on the other hand:
"And this was all you got
So don these broken wings."
The "broken wings" are Christ's arms spread out for us on the Cross.

Thanks Trad, I did listen to the music. It seems to speak of the turmoil in men's souls. Preresurrection. I wonder what they would create as a post-resurrection musical commentary?
