Here's some oldies but goodies in the classical/traditional genre :)
(Gregorian Chant - acapella men's choir performing live in a Benedictine Monastery)​
(Handel's Messiah - Hallelujah Chorus) - just shy or 4 minutes​
(Verdi's Requiem - the bombastic Dies Irae) - about 2 minutes​
(O Holy Night! Performed by Kathleen Battle and the Orchestra of St. Luke's - just shy of 5 minutes)​
I'll be back with more and with different genres soon (Dv), sooner than later if I don't catch the COVID that my wife has (at the moment however, it does seem like I'm coming down with it :().

God bless you!!

~Deuteronomy (David)
thank you so much this is very good material I can use. I hope you not get the COVID and hope your wife quickly get better. blessings

Goodness, VERY sorry about the somewhat nasty YouTube ad for additional videos, the wording of the political video, specifically. It's beyond 5 minutes since I posted above, so it's too late to edit the post or I would have done so.

Fortunately, you can click on the "X" and the pop-up with the additional video ads with disappear (and hopefully, they only showed up on my post and will not show up on any of yours)!
I did not get it what I see. I only cot the music

Hi Imalova,

You really can't make a Christian music list without mentioning Mahalia Jackson. She changed gospel music to what it is today.

Mahalia Jackson--How I got over LIVE (youtube.com)
Mahalia Jackson - I Found The Answer (youtube.com)
Mahalia Jackson - let's pray together - 1964 (youtube.com)
MAHALIA JACKSON & DINAH SHORE duet on Elijah Rock with Norman Luboff Choir (youtube.com)
Mahalia Jackson - It Don"t Cost Very Much - Live In Sweden. (youtube.com)
Mahalia Jackson - Trouble Of The World (Imitation Of Life - 1959) (youtube.com)
Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho (youtube.com) MLK's favorite song. I have a Dream was inspired by Mahalia

Elvis Presley the "king of rock and roll" In the Garden (youtube.com)


Disco Queen Donna Summers DONNA SUMMER - FORGIVE ME (Live Emotional Performance) (youtube.com)
DONNA SUMMER I BELIEVE IN JESUS (youtube.com)
also a Christmas classic Donna Summer - Lamb of God (youtube.com)

Although someone has already mentioned Handel Messiah this is a great version and I highly recommended it. of G. F. Handel: Messiah HWV 56 (fantastic performance) (youtube.com)

Though Georgian music is beautiful it is often sung by monks. liturgical music by St. Hildegard of Bingen is my favorite.
Hildegard of Bingen: De Spiritu Sancto (Holy Spirit, The Quickener Of Life) (youtube.com)


Arabic Christian folk music mainly for Kurdish Christians in the Middle East
Take me with You - Yemeni Arabic Christian Song - YouTube
Ey Rab Îsa Tu Were (youtube.com)
Poşmanim Îsa (youtube.com)



Then there's hard rock Christian music like Flyleaf - All Around Me (Official Music Video) (youtube.com)


Classic rock is Petra
Petra - Beyond Belief (youtube.com)
Petra - Seen And Not Heard (youtube.com)
Petra - What's in a Name - YouTube
Petra: I Am On the Rock (youtube.com)

Rap lacrae
Lecrae - Boasting ft. Anthony Evens - YouTube
THIS SONG will bring out the FIGHT IN YOU (Blessed Because I Got Fight Lyric Video) (youtube.com)
Lecrae, John Legend - Drown (Official Video) - YouTube
Tedashii - Dum Dum - feat. Lecrae (@tedashii @lecrae @reachrecords) (youtube.com)
Lecrae - Prayin' For You (music video) (youtube.com)

well, I know there are lots of other genres of music but these are the ones I like the most hope it helps.

For some less mainstream/traditional genres
Man ov God - Church in the Dark


(I'm not afraid)
If hells coming for me
And the world is against me
Cause the cross on my back draws enemies
Pray for peace, prepare for war
Lights out
Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)
Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)
Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Isn’t for the weak
You can try to hold me down
But you must not know me
I’m a beast and you’re going to hear me scream
Kingdom over everything

I'm sick of death culture surrounding me
Taking from everyone that I love

I'll be the one in the snake den
Put me in the fire with demons
I'm not afraid of the heat
I'll stay loyal to the cross till they put me in the grave
(Till they put me in the grave)

I am not like you
Crooked little snakes and false prophets
Just know that I'll never go judas
There will be no death bed confession
Cause when I die I'll be in the trenches

This is a war that I'll fight till the end

Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)
Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)
Welcome to the church in the dark
(No peace for the wicked)

Look into my eyes and show your teeth
Cause I want to see the day the devil dies
Look into my eyes and show your teeth
Cause I want to see the day the devil dies

You will feel my rage

No peace for the wicked
Justice is coming
Thank you. this is very good. very good way to show there is so much kind of christian music, and thank you for sending the lyrics :). and also it was very good music. I have never herd before but I will defensively keep listen to more of that. thank you blessings

Burial Extraction - Contorted Corpses


We're dead in sin, we're corpses!
We are the guilty, the zombies of depravity, consumed in darkness, in shadows of the Death Valley.
Turning in our graves, we're restless; there is no escape; helplessly digging toward nothing in this empty place.
No one here is righteous, no, there's not even one.
We all practice deceit and our lips drip poison.
Contorted corpses.
We are all dead men.
We are cursed through the man of dust, wretched, full of sin, there's nothing good within us.
Born under the curse, carcasses dead in transgressions with no hope inside of ourselves; our self-destruction.
We're so swift to shed blood, misery marks our ways.
With no knowledge of peace, there's no fear of the Lord.
While rotting in our sin, unable to reach out, God declared His chosen.
The covenant of grace, proclaimed through history, God's plan for redemption.
Also new to me, I know some in my class will be impress by this as this is music many in call listen to but not this groups. I hope it will show them that it is not just boring music in Christianity but it is very good music. and I hope they will listen and see the good lyrics

I hear this one of his on my radio once in a while. What a voice!


Take My Hand, Precious Lord - Elvis Presley


Oh! I love the music of Hildegard von Bingen! Especially Richard Souther's interpretation of it.



That music/lyrics was written close to a thousand years ago! This is even older:


This 4th century Latin Advent hymn, Veni Redemptor Gentium, was written by Ambrose of Milan,
who was one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of his time. From the CD: "State of Grace."
Veni Redemptor Gentium means, "Come Redeemer of the Earth" (or nations).


Mostly I prefer modern praise and worship.

thank you Magenta. very good music to have in my work also show how different music can be and still have the same meaning of being music for God

Is amazing how much good music there is, I will make some list out of all this as I will not be able to show it all when I have my presentation. but I think my teacher will be impress if I make a list with links that every one in class will get to have a chase to listen by them self also

He Is - Mark Schultz


One True God - Mark Harris


Colin Bernard - Hold On

Chris Sligh - One


Chris came in 10th in the 6th season of American Idol, got momentarily caught up
in the star maker machinery and then left it knowing what he really wanted to do
was write and perform praise and worship music. He wrote Empty Me about all that...


Very good music, and very good for me to listen to.
