I have a confession to make.
I was "this close" to giving up on gospel music.
I've gotten tired of the "feel good" no scripturally based music, entertainment focused music that has come from the gospel music industry in the last few years. Being that Ive been a background vocalist for 3 major gospel artists, it broke my heart to be disheartened by much of the music I heard from various artists.
Nothing wrong with expressing one's music ability and versatility.
But the world around us is dying, and we as believers are called to preach, sing, and witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Its more than a melody.
More than a catchy phrase.
Its the TRUTH that can transform lives.
This morning, my faith was restored.
Just read a few words from the song the Blessing is on You
"The Lord has made a covenant with you
He has promised that He would bless you
You are in the earth but you live above the curse
You are kingdom you have rights
Blessings come with no struggle or fight
So when recession comes you won't be effected
When sickness comes you'll have good health
The dollar may fail, your wealth will increase
War all around, you'll be at peace"
Dear believer,
Dear friend who knows there is a God but needs to hear His voice.....
Get this cd and be encouraged.....
I dare you to believe
The blessing is on YOU
Thank you for sharing this post. I was thinking the same. I grew up with a teaching, that music touches the soul, therefore, we have to bring to the people the right message thru our music. And the right message is the word of God. I am now calling on the christian writers, please, please write songs that is in line with the word of God. It is the Word of God that has the power to transform lives. I will look for this cd in our local market. Thanks again.
