Help with a variety of good Christian music

Here's some oldies but goodies in the classical/traditional genre
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!!

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)!

Some from the modern or contemporary genre now (it's hard to know where to begin )
I'd better wrap this up and go sleep (if possible). Hope to be back as soon (Dv).

Hi Imalova,

Though Georgian music is beautiful it is often sung by monks. liturgical music by St. Hildegard of Bingen is my favorite.

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

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.

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.

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...
