Ok. So when I clean or cook do anything around the house I sing, sometimes it’s pretty sometimes its not!! One of my favorite things to do at family gatherings is to get everyone around the piano and sing the old old songs.. I just love it. But I LOVE TO SING !!! And while I love Israel songs as much as the next person ( nathaniel) haha I love you! And yes I’m all for progress, and moving on, ect… and I know that “church music” is not the same as it was when I was a kid and part of me is grateful!! But the other part is SAD!! Because I got awesome blessings to these songs !!! And if you ask me, which I know you didn’t but you are reading my blog … hehe. We don’t sing enough about heaven or mercy or the cross anymore. Maybe that’s why I like these SO much. I still like the OLD SONGS!!!! So sue me !! I can only repeat the same refrains so much. Praise him praise him praise him praise him praise him praise him. JUST STOP !!! SOMETIMES and I stress <<<< sometimes>>>>> older choir music and such speak to me more. So I wrote down some of my favorites … Songs of every genre. Country, black gospel, swing, I like it all! Songs that I remember bawling to, or getting incredible blessings to, or just songs that are SO good and in my humble opinion nothing has been written that I’ve heard that compares to them … I hope some of these songs are brought back to your mind and touch your heart the way they have touched mine. P.s this is a VERY long post, Sorry about that! and this is my CONDENSED version. See your blessed and didn’t even know it!
I’m going to lift up holy hands in the presence of the Lord. WEIRD CHORD HERE! Lift up holy hands in the presence of the Lord — I love the >> God is Holy, He is Holy, He’s Holy, from the rising of the sun, to the setting of the same, He is holy, God is holy.
Lord I Worship You, Lord I worship you, with all my heart and mind and soul I worship you there’s nothing I would rather do than lift my voice in praise to you. Now and forever more dear Lord I worship you.
Hold on to the masters hand!! I’ll let nothing I’ll let nothing I’ll let nothing I’ll let nothing turn me around!!!
Baptize me Jesus with the Holyghost!! DRUM ROLL!!! I Shall have power, I shall have power, I shall have power!! hang in there, hang in there, hang in there DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP!!! ANOTHER DRUM ROLL!!!!!
Redeemed, redeemed I’ve been bought with a price redeemed by the blood of his sacrifice. He as ransomed this captive, set this prisoner free, I will sing his praises forever! I am redeemed!
Heaven is My home. Ima (texas word) going to heaven someday! I wanna go there! I wanna see my saviours face! Where there will be no more sorrow or pain! Heaven is my home and I wanna go there!
His grace and mercy brought me through I’m living this moment because of you. I want to thank you and praise you too, your grace and mercy brought me through!
He made the difference in my life !!! He give me joy that cannot be surpassed, I’m on a cloud from the first moment to the last !!
If I’m gonna praise Him, GIVE ME SOME ROOM!!! I’m gonna dance, I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna lift my hands to the holy king. If I’m gonna praise my Jesus, give me some room!
Clap your hands all ye people! Shout to God with a voice of praise! Oh oh majesty we worship thee, and we give your name the praise. Oh great Jehovah in you I trust and we exalt your name!!!!!
Does He still feel the nails every time I fail ? Does He hear the crowd cry crucify again?? am I causing Him pain then I know I’ve got to change, I just can’t bear the thought of hurting him. I love the bridge on this song — HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD – The harmony is beautiful if done right!
BEAUTIFUL thats how mercy saw me, though I was broken and so lost, mercy looked past all my faults, THANK GOD !!!
ONE of my favorite get down songs and I haven’t heard one that is better yet!!! I got a story to tell you of how God saved my soul how his blood washed and cleansed me and how he made me whole !!! It was his amazing grace that saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I’m found was blind but now I see ! and when I think of his goodness and aaaaalll he’s done for me.. My soul cries out hallelujah THANK GOD FOR SAVING ME !!!
****** LOL Ya’ll I’m typing so fast, like to the beat of the music!!!! Ok NEXT >>
I”m running with heaven on my mind! I like the second verse. I hear voices of those who’ve gone before, their cheering me onward onto heavens golden shore, their saying don’t give up child keep pressing on, cus it’s gonna be worth it all when you see your brand new home !!!
A song that my Uncle Keith wrote. I miss him. NOBODY can sing like he could. I’m not certain of all the exact words.. I think I might have changed a few, but I love this song. I have cd’s of OLD records of Uncle Keith and Aunt Ginger singing. And grandma, grandpa, and Aunt Bobbie. And Aunt Linda. I love listening to them.
He helps me when I need someone to share my load, I find Him cheering me when I’m walking through the valley low, everything I need I find in Jesus, He takes good care of me.
When we step inside the shining gates of splendor, where toiling ends and tears are ever gone. Among that crowd for you I’ll be watching (i’ll be watching) so look for me in front of the throne!
Lord I get so tired on this troublesome way, I get so lonesome I don’t know what to say, Oh Lord Hasten that day! Oh Lord hasten that day.
There was no crown for Him, no silver robe, no diadem for Him to hold. A rugged cross became His throne, His kingdom was in hearts alone, in hearts alone He wrote his Love in crimson red and wore a crown of thorns upon his head.
When I stand before my maker and the book is opened wide and the deeds of men both good and bad are recorded there inside, DONT KNOW THE WORDS HERE,! OH the pages have been stained by the blood he shed for me, praise God I can’t read them neither can He! Whats been forgiven is forgotten! And I don’t know the rest of the song. Blood stained pages stained by blood shed for me!
No one can touch you like Jesus can, no one can give you peace you cannot understand!!! No one can bind your wounds with nail scarred hands, No one can touch you like Jesus can!
Me and the devil we had a tussle but I won!!!! I hate the devil and he hates me!! Need an organ here !!!!
I’ve got a mansion, Just over the hilltop, in that fair land where, we’ll never grow old, and some day yonder we will never more wonder, but walk on streets that are purest gold.
Jehovah Jirah, My provider you are more than enough for me. Jehovah rapha your my healer by your stripes I’ve been set free, Jehovah shamma you are with me, you supply are my needs. Your more than enough, more than enough, you are more than enough for me!
Order my steps in your word dear Lord, lead me, guide me, every day. Send your anointing Father I pray order my steps in your word!
I went down to the fountain and my soul!! MY SOUL GOT ANOTHER DIP !
Come let up worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness. Give Him the honor, Give him the praise. bm,bm,bm,bm, Come let us worship the Lord lets give Him the praise !!!
You who are broken! stop by the potters house !! Give Him the fragments of your broken life, my friend. The potter wants to put you back together again, oooooh the potter wants to put you back together again. In case you have fallen by the wayside of life, dreams and visions shattered you are broken inside. you don’t have to stay in the shape that your in, the potter wants to put you back together again!
Jesus, I’ve got to say that I”m loving you more every day, for every trial that you bring me through my love grows stronger and stronger for you, so with all of my heart Lord I’ll say, I”m loving you more each day.
There is a GOD !! Who reigns up in heaven with a heavenly host and mighty angel band in a thunderous voice they cry holy holy all glory and honor to the great I am !
Let everything that hath breath praise the lord! We give you honor oh Lord we give you praise. Everlasting father, Hosanna, that prince of peace, alpha and omega beginning and the ending!!!!! AMEN!!
We lift you up ! And worship you Lord! Words can’t explain how great that you are. Your vast domain crosses every heart. You are our joy, our peace, your my hope Lord your everything! And we lift you up, and worship you Lord!
For He is more than all the world to me, the dearest friend that I have ever known. And it will take the whole eternity, just to thank Him for the love that He has shown.
NEW SONGS THAT I LIKE — JUST A FEW. I have more but maybe for another post!
To worship you I live, to worship you I live I live to worship you … Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh ….
You are alpha and omega, we worship you my Lord you are worthy to be praised! We give you all the glory, we worship you my Lord you are worthy to be praised !
Matthew 28! He is not here! He is not here! He is not here!!!! I’ll rise, I’ll rise again !! What an AWESOME SONG!!! And a brilliant mind that put it all together !!
I am a friend of God, He calls me friend!
I’m still standing! sway with me now … uh uh !
Jesus, something special, supernatural, about your name Jesus! When I call on your name the very at mos phere has to change !!
*** These are just a few of the songs that I love and I want to teach every last one of them but I’m not sure that will happen!!! Maybe they don’t touch peoples hearts the same way now. Maybe their old fashioned and maybe, just maybe I’m a little weird. But these songs mean more to me and have taken me through many hard times. I can’t just throw them away. I hope you can’t either.
Also if you see something you like and want to know who does them, I know most of the artists.

Interesting and brought back great memories! I posted a comment to your Mom’s blog yesterday about Redonia’s feelings of youth in relation to the old hymns. Read it if you have time. Maybe the Lord is speaking to you young ladies, Sista!!! lol
July 11, 2008 at 10:43 am
Wow! A lot of good memories flooded my mind as I read the lyrics to these songs. I think my favorites out of all these is, “Mercy Saw Me”, “Hold to The Master’s Hand” and “Thank God for Saving Me”. Well, then there’s “Lift Up Holy Hands” and “Lord, I Worship You”. Ok, I must stop. Good Stuff here though. Love all of them.

You don’t know me, but I have watched you grow up at Texas Camp Ground. Keep blogging, because there are lot of young people still with a love of the “Old Songs”. “The Old Rugged Cross”, “Amazing Grace”, and oh, so many others!

Danelle, I enjoyed this post so much! I have been thinking along these same lines for a few days. I had forgotten you had a blog!!!! Shame on me! I just remembered today, for some reason, so I’ve added you to my blog. Now, I will remember to read what you say. I love the way you express yourself! Love you, bunches!
July 11, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Danelle- I love this post! Some of them we STILL sing.lol I have all the words to blood stained pages- I sing that one myself every once in awhile. Some of these songs make me laugh.
Great post.

Good post Danelle! I especially love your “music” intermingled with the words – I can actually hear you talking and explaining these songs when I read this. Love you!
July 14, 2008 at 7:57 am
Good post! I totally agree with your opinion about the old stuff….I think you may have inspired me to write one now….

I loved you website, I also love all the old songs. I recently heard the song “me and the devil we had a tussle and I won”. I loved it, however, I have tried to find the lyrics and music, but have had no success. Would you know the lyrics?
February 23, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Which artist sings! Clap your hands all ye people! Shout to God with a voice of praise! Oh oh majesty we worship thee, and we give your name the praise. Oh great Jehovah in you I trust and we exalt your name!!!!!
February 24, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Hi Justin. I’m not sure who the original artist is, but its on a Myles Young CD. It’s called Renaissance of Praise. It can be found at the Pentecostal Publishing house. Hope you can find it!

Beautiful – I too love the old songs that had such greatmeaning and still come back to us as the Lord reminds us! Had been searching for sometime for the words to a song my mom love -”the rugged cross became His throne; His kingdom is in hearts alone ….”. One old song that brings reassurance is “My Lord knows the way thru’ the wilderness; all I have to do is follow …. strenth for the day is mine always, and all I need for tomorrow. My Lord knows the way thru’ the wilderness; all I have to do is follow.”!

Sis. MacMillan,
Thank you for your comment. I know the first song was one my grandparents sang many many years ago… But it is a ageless song! I don’t know the second one you spoke of, however I would love to hear it!!
God Bless
