My grandma used to sing gospel songs while she cleaned the house. I guess it motivated her. I wish I could keep a house as clean as hers. Anyway, there are a bunch that remind me of following her around dusting and washing. She sang Amazing Grace a lot and one song that is a little lesser known. Anybody remember "LOVE LIFTED ME"? [/qb]

I'm actually cleaning and playing gospel music right now. I felt light-headed so I'm sitting down for a while and sipping on a cup of Ovaltine.

Love Lifted me...can't remember all the words...someone please correct wherever I made a mistake.

I was sinking deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore
Very safely deep within
Sinking to rise no more
But the master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me
Now safe am I

Love lifted me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted meeeeee [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Love lifted me
Love lifted meeeeee
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!

Re: Which song does it for you?

I know LOVE LIFTED ME! I was brought up on Gospel and love to clean house, cook, anything with Gospel playing in the back ground. Nothin better than hearing your children sing gospel as they play around the house! anyway..my daughter is singing this song Easter Sunday and I love it, the words are beautiful:

FOR ME

Solo:
Such pain you must have felt
To send Your only Son
For someone such as me
So now I humbly come
Admitting I'm not worthy
Yet He hung on that tree
Mocked, beaten, and crucified
And He did it all for me.

He did it all for me
He died on the cross for me
He suffered so that I might live
He said my sins He would forgive
So now I give my life to Him
He did it all for me

Choir:
Such joy You must have felt
to see Your only Son
Sitting by your side
For now His work is done
He rose up from the grave
And He did it for me
Joy, peace, forgiveness
For all who would believe

He did it all for me
He died on the cross for me
He suffered so that I might live
He said my sins He would forgive
So now I give my life to Him
He did it all for me

Alas and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die

Oh yes He died

He suffered so that I might live
He said my sins He would forgive
So now I give my life to Him
He did it all for me

Love Lifted Me

I was sinking deep in sin,
far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
sinking to rise no more,
But the Master of the sea,
heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me,
now safe am I.

Refrain

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!

All my heart to Him I give,
ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessèd presence live,
ever His praises sing,
Love so mighty and so true,
merits my soul’s best songs,
Faithful, loving service too,
to Him belongs.

Refrain

Souls in danger look above,
Jesus completely saves,
He will lift you by His love,
out of the angry waves.
He’s the Master of the sea,
billows His will obey,
He your Savior wants to be,
be saved today.

Refrain

Re: Which song does it for you?

CG: Good topic. Qute a number of songs does it for me, but a favorite of my Dad's always seem to come back to mind. See words below:

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant Friend is he:

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.

"Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender Word I hear,
And resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubt and fear;
Though by the path he leadeth
But one step I may see:

Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
From care he sets me free;

Re: Which song does it for you?

...and this one is my heart's cry. It is kind of "old" but it reflects exactly what I desire and where I want to be.

HIGHER GROUND

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Note: Refrain sung after each verse.

PRAM PRAM!!!

Dis one is da bomb!! Oh memories....

Wen mi juss staat out pon di Christian walk dis use to gimmie col' bum everytime mi sing it. Dis one an Sweet Hour Of Pryayer.

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

I hear you loud and clear,and frankly I just love those old hymns. Another one that is a big part of my life is that Fanny Crosby classic, "I Must Have The Savior With Me".

I must have the Savior with me,
For I dare not go alone,
I must feel His presence near me,
And His arm around me thrown.

Refrain
Then my soul shall fear no ill, fear no ill,
Let Him lead me where He will, where He will,
I will go without a murmur,
And His footsteps follow still.

I must have the Savior with me,
For my faith, at best, is weak;
He can whisper words of comfort,
That no other voice can speak.

I must have the Savior with me,
In the onward march of life,
Thro’ the tempest and the sunshine,
Thro’ the battle and the strife.

I must have the Savior with me,
And His eye the way must guide,
Till I reach the vale of Jordan,
Till I cross the rolling tide.

Sorry Compry, but this thread has provoked some sentiments. I promise this is it (I hope) [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
