She has a beautiful voice... I was reading up on their bio; didn't know Toby Mac was their mentor.

Thanks for the link on her brother !

Nice thread!

I love Avion Blackman! Here's a song from her brother that I love. Their whole family is so talented...

Mocha, I am so checking that group! Do you listen to Seventh Day Slumber. Their rendition of "Mighty to Save" is great!

Thank you everyone. I have been thinking about looking for other Christian music to listen too.

I wish I had something to add to this thread, but all I can think of is a Dies Irae by Karl Jenkins :look:. Yeah, I don't think that counts:drunk: I just like the way their voices sound.
 
MondoDismo,

I find that over time, my music collection has changed... it's not so much the 'music' that has changed but the purpose behind it and who is being honored (God). There are Christian artists in every genre..not everyone has the same musical tastes and God knows that.. :laugh: I recall you'd posted about conviction and getting rid of some of your old music, and that's just evidence of God working in your life.

Stay encouraged and Blessed!
 
One more... Jamaican style... I'm so glad he's saved now!

Papa San

INTRO
Blessed be the king of Israel everytime, Cho!
Mek wi hail Him up; Mek wi hail Him up; Mek wi hail Him up; (Uh, Uh)
Mek wi hail Him up; Mek wi hail Him up; Mek wi hail Him up; (Uh, Uh)
Mek wi hail Him up; You know mi tell dem seh
Yu see my king, mi love Him, Check it, Hey!

CHORUS
Mek wi hail up dih man deh come die for my sins,
Thank Him daily for everything,
What ah peace and joy weh dat deh man bring, (Sing.. sing)
Mek wi hail up dih man him come die for my sins
Thank Him daily for everything
What peace and joy weh dat deh man bring, (Sing.. sing)

A
When Jesus ah did trod Him used to humble as lamb
Dih world tek on dih flesh and come dwell amongst man
Dih Father send Son fi complete mission
Thus I can have a chance fi see salvation
Salvation is a gift and ah nuh something weh u buy
Jesus is the reason so yu nuh fih haffi ask mi why
Ah HIM make dih sacrifice fi you and I
So mek wi hail up dih GOD from mount Zion high (sing!)

B
John Baptist dih nuh worthy fi latch on Him shoes
When Christ get ready everybody haffi move
When yu trust inna Jesus yu nuh worry bout food
Him use two fish five bread and feed ah whole multitude
Dih scribe and dih Pharisees fulla excuse
Ah coulda wah did really tek dem deh stiff necked Jews,
Who dem fi pick dem nuh pick,
who dem fi choose dem refuse,
Come gih sum' mek we spread Jah Jah news (now!)

C
Him mek sea above land yet it cannot overflow,
By dih power of His mouth he can fall deh hair or snow
Paint dih breeze inna colour mek yu see when it ah blow
Dih birds of the air Him can show them where go
Kick dih world to pieces with tip of His toe,
And call thousand angel everythin' get over throw,
(Him seh), knock it shall be open if ah Him you want fi know,
Ah who no want fi knock can tan outta door, (Cho)

Thank you, Laela. That is the exact reason. I just can't stand to listen to too much secular music (well, I still like music by the Art of Noise, classical music).

I like all genres of music because I have a deep appreciate for talent. I remember being in Family Christian Bookstore and hearing a "rock" song, but it was about Jesus. To this day I still regret not asking who it was.
The song was excellent. I'd never heard anything like it.


And thank you for providing the lyrics to that Papa San song. I was...lost.:lachen:
 
^^ My mom doesn't care too much for Papa San :laugh: Some Christians may not receive music like this too well, and that's their prerogative. To even get into a 'debate' on what qualifies as Holy Music is moot.
To each her own, so long as God Almighty is being honored and there's no ambiguity, I'll listen to it. :yep:

God bless
