Happy to hear the old metered songs again. Actually, I have been singing them for quite awhile myself. My mother, father and aunt were meter singers-knew alll the old songs.They worked the circuit with the all-night prayer bands. The elders in my family are originally from South Carolina. Cheraw, Rock Hill and Sumpter area. When I was a child, I had to go with my mother to all-night prayer meetings. Held every 3rd Saturday of the month from 9:00pm to 5:00am. They are sung in spirit.
Lets have church!!! This really moved me. My grandmother was a Pentecostal minister in Kentucky. They were white but knew how to have church like this. Thanks
This is the type of singing that witnessed to me as a child. I am saved today because of the faith I saw in people singing these common meter songs. The stuff they sing now just doesn't have the same effect. Today it seems to be all about the instruments and the beat only.
yes yes i remember these hyms they are embedded in the depths of my soul from going to church with my great grandmother may GOD be pleased with her soul>
it's interesting to hear this. in the native american creek churches, one person will start out a song and after everyone hears what verse it is, they all join in. the verses may be very similar with only little changes and when they get going the songs can go on for quite a while. only a few i've heard actually get real upbeat, most are sung slow but still, it is so similar to this song and others like it. i love it.
These songs originated from our culture of slavery.Call and response. The biblical references, many of which, came from white ministers during slavery. The slaves sitting in the white church hearing of God's deliverance and salvation plan. The word came through despite slavery's dreaded toil. If one wants to sing these songs then practiced those that you hear. That's how they are learned. They are passed down. My parents passed them to me, but they must be sung in spirit and in truth. Amen
This is the type of music that is now studied in acedemia and even win Grammys now. The style some of our elders trashed and called it useless and not anointed. Others pick it up and win awards and acclaim for the music that we were told was a mess.
