(part of) Why We sing Songs about God

Some of you have been asking why we sing about the topics we do. Maybe this will provide some kind of answer...

Nothing But the Blood

Hello vocal people here are some lyrics for a piece we will continue on this term. Mr. Rathbone
Nothing But the Blood

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.


For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Here is a video to give to an idea of how it goes (we will do it different but similar vibe has a different song tacked on the end as well)

The Power of One

For those among you who are slightly older (over 15years) there is a great movie called 'The Power of One'. It shows a good example of where some of the singing we do comes from. Also provide a bit of a context to the and helps us to understand the power of the unified voice. Check it out, but be warned it is quite violent so please don't watch it if things like that upset you.
