Burl Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Juré from French Creole Louisiana, likely from the area around Opelousas. Very little of this remains because it was home music, often sung between different households from the front porch and rarely recorded.

Burl Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 The Sacred Harp. A continental era American hymnal. "A life contains a hundred strings, and dies if one be gone. Strange that a harp of a thousand strings should stay in tune so long." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burl Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 That Kuwaiti video is viral in the ME right now. The Qu'ran states that the prophet Jesus, not the prophet Muhammad, will be the one to return and preside over the day of judgment. Progressive Christianity is everywhere!

Burl Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Africa; arr. Paul Hillier. Haunting melody and striking 18c lyrics. Now shall my inward joys arise, And burst into a Song; Almighty Love inspires my Heart, And Pleasure tunes my Tongue. God on his thirsty Sion-Hill Some Mercy-Drops has thrown, And solemn Oaths have bound his Love To show'r Salvation down. Why do we then indulge our Fears, Suspicions and Complaints? Is he a God, and shall his Grace Grow weary of his saints? Can a kind Woman e'er forget The Infant of her Womb, And 'mongst a thousand tender Thoughts Her Suckling have no Room? Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, And Mothers Monsters prove, Sion still dwells upon the Heart Of everlasting Love. Deep on the Palms of both my Hands I have engrav'd her Name; My Hands shal raise her ruin'd Walls, And build her broken Frame.

Elen1107 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 This isn't really Christian, but to me it is. I'm not really into the Grateful Dead, but this song really gets to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
