Classic Hymns and Words

In the 2000 years or so since the Christian Church was started,  many great expressions of praise to our God and Savior have been written. No single hymnal can contain them all. Here is a selection of some of those great hymns.

Songs by members of the Churches of God

People who love God are not content to just sing songs written by others. Those who have musical talent seem to have an unquenchable urge to write their own expressions of praise and love, both for themselves and to share that love with others.
      Here we will include hymns and other songs composed by those members. It is our hope that some of these will find their way into regular use by others in their praise time.

Contemporary Praise and Worship songs

What is the difference between a Hymn and a contemporary Praise Song?  One pundit described it something like this: "If I were to say to you 'Martha, the cows are in the corn' that would be a hymn, but if I were to say to 12 times 'Martha, oh Martha, Martha Martha dear, the cows, cows, cows, cows, the beautiful cows are in, do you hear, they are in in in in in the corn, cows in corn, Oh the corn, Martha where the cows are.' -- that would be a Praise song. 
     More seriously, the modern praise song can be a deeply meaningful expression of love and worship to our Lord and Savior. Here we will try to present some of the best of this genre. Our selection will probably be quite limited because most of these songs are under copyright and permission to use them here would be difficult to obtain. Nevertheless, we do have a small selection we have been given permission to use.
