Favorite religious song


Tons of choices; reggae, bluegrass, classical, country, hymns. 

Not so much jazz...though I do love Pete Fountain's " A Closer Walk With Thee"

My choice is sorta religious. "Mercy" Mary Gauthier.

Chris Lizotte's  Signal Hill Revival album is a good listen.  Marc Ford of The Black Crowes fame handles the lead guitar work.   Down At Your Feet is one of my favourite all time tunes.  BTW Chris Lizzotte is a pastor from Southern Cal.  I think this album came out in 2008. A great listen!

ZZ Top...Jesus just left Chicago.

Johnny Cash... Gods gonna cut you down.

Not religious myself either but when a child and my Mother put Mahalia Jackson on the console with the old Garrod in it and cranked it ...

Her voice made the hair on my neck stand up.

Powerful.... 

 

Tourniquet, bloodgood, mass, deliverance, stryper, couple other Christian bands. 
 

 All these bands will. Get you fired up.

would visit my cousin in Tampa area as a kid, very religious family, he is,now a chaplain for the,military. Turned me onto Christian rock, and when I discovered Christ rock, loved it. 
would play for friends at parties, if they hadn’t heard specific lyrics,, they would never know it was Christ rock!

  Great stuff! 
 

if it jams, it’s good, the earlier metal with the Satan references, smart managers, band members, it was a gimmick, and it worked, hooked me early. On with Mercyful fate, bathory,venom, I remember seeing venoms welcome to hell in my record shoppe, the gold pentagram, name of the songs, it hooked me, as I was looking for heavier and faster, priest, kiss, Saxon, while I absolutely love them, I was looking for heavier, hit the flea market as a youngin, with my dad, found this one seller who had import cassettes, Motörhead, Raven, spartan,warrior, crossfire , Belgian metal, great stuff! Went there every Sunday  post church breakfast. 
 

anyway, there is an ocean of killer metal. With Christian overtones, it’s ironic,….yes, but if the other bands sing,about Lucifer,etc etc,…..why not positive lyrics, and Jesus. Great stuff!

 

still love strypers “the way” written by oz fox!

tourniquet, is great, deliverance absolutely,smokes!
