I like to remind my wife on a regular basis that the two hymns I want sung at my funeral are 'It is Well With My Soul' and 'Christ the Lord is Risen Today'. More than half the times we sing 'It is Well' in church, I can't actually sing because I'm bawling my eyes out.

I love these, too. But I always thought the were traditional Church of Christ hymns. :-) Of course, many different evangelical denominations share these classics.

Joe, I've been a constant reader of your site, and I've really appreciated your work.

But I have to say, your inclusion of Mutemath, Supertones, Bob Dylan, and U2 just earned you about 50,000 cool points.

Well done, sir.

4

Charlie Peacock - take your pick from West Coast Diaries Volume 2
All My Tears - Julie Miller (this must be sung at my funeral)
Restore My Soul - The Choir
Be Thou My Vision - as sung by Van Morrison
In The Garden - Johnny Cash

There are many more, but these came off the top of my head. Many, many traditional folk songs and hymns would have to make my list as well.

5

I especially like the inclusion of Coltrane, Ellington, U2, and Dylan. Just goes to show that good Christian music isn't solely confined to the typical CCM stuff.

6

What about "What if God was one of us" by Joan Osborn was it?

7

The entirety of Atom Bomb by the amazing Blind Boys of Alabama.

8

1. Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
2. Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
3. Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
4. This Is My Father's World
5. Great is Thy Faithfulness
6. Blessed Assurance
7. The Solid Rock
8. O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing
9. Eternal Father Strong to Save
10. Holy, Holy, Holy

And so many more!

I have been so turned off by the typical CCM that I avoid it. And I realize I may miss some good music because I'm not willing to sit through the bad stuff.

I agree completely with Dave's 8:44 post. And Joe listens to Pedro the Lion? Who knew??

My 5 additions:

Pedro the Lion - Lullaby
Common Children - Stains of Time
Common Children - Strange Rain
P.O.D. - Selah

Couldn't get Haloscan to do a trackback ping. http://wafflinganglican.blogspot.com/2005/11/fave-christian-tunes-for-light-friday.html

All but one of your entries date from the past 500 years. Whippersnapper! :-)

11

Nice to see Dylan in there, he's so often left out of such lists. I am a little baffled at the inclusion of Coltrane's "A Love Supreme". Not that it's not an amazing piece of music (I love it) just that I wasn't aware Coltrane had any Christian belief. My understanding was that Coltrane's view of spirituality was fairly new-age, very important to him and his understanding of what he was doing through his music, but fairly wishy-washy.

Am I wrong?

Still, an interesting list.

12

Umm have you ever read the liner notes for the "A Love Supreme". One read of those and you will be convinced. I have never seen any "christian" artist offer up that much praise to God. Take a quick read.

13

Joe -

Great idea for the post, but I'm pretty surprised by your top ten. "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee," "The Solid Rock," "O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing" are very conspicuously missing.

Nicole Nordeman's "Why" was a creative and interesting pick, but to put "I Can Only Imagine," at #1 (or even above any of the notable exceptions listed above) causes me to seriously question your judgment in all other matters. Seriously, you need to stop listening to ("drip, drip") The Fish and ("More music") "K Love."

14

If you really want classics that will not die even when musical trends come and go, we should add the following :

1) IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL by Horatio Spafford

Written after the ship-wreck death of his wife and his daughters, just months after he lost everything in the Great Fire of Chicago.

One of the greatest songs of comfort and hope ever written.

2) HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

One of popular gospel's most masterfully-manufactured marvels. Courtesy of Mrs. Martin's elegant but beautifully direct words and Charles Gabriel's ultra-smooth melody and harmony, His Eye fits into any performance genre as if it were custom-concocted for it.

Three great renditions of this classic are:

* The Oak Ridge Boys' representative Southern quartet rendition (brace yourself for the chorus);

* Mahalia Jackson's representative black-gospel rendition (from the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival),

* Stuart Hamblen's representative RCA-pop rendition (which makes Sparrow sound like some forgotten Rodgers and Hammerstein waltz).

3) BECAUSE HE LIVES

Bill Gaither's Anthem celebrating the hope of the resurrection will forever be sang on Easter Sunday till the second coming.

15

Joe, I'm eager to hear why you like this song and why you think it is a Christian song.

I Blew Up The Clinic Real Good by Steve Taylor:

Now I don't care if it's a baby or a tissue blob
but if we run out of youngsters
I'll be out of a job, and so I
I did my duty cleaning up the neighborhood
I blew up the clinic real good

Try and catch me, coppers
you stinking badges better think again
before you mess this boy around

I've hung in Saigon just to see the special effects
I've hung from gravity boots for my Napoleon complex

It's time to close
ooh…there she blows
history in the making
you picked the fight
I picked dynamite
I blew up the clinic real good

Preacher on a corner
calling it a crime
says, "The end don't justify the means anytime"
I stood up on my van
I yelled, "Excuse me, sir.
Ain't nothing wrong with this country
that a few plastic explosives won't cure."

I fail to find the message of Jesus Christ in any of this. In fact, seems more like the work of Satan.

16

Steve But I always thought the were traditional Church of Christ hymns. :-)

I figured somebody would call me on that. ; )

Though I probably didn’t need to include “Baptist” in there, I remember them all from the old 1975 Baptist Hymnal that I grew up with.

Boonton What about "What if God was one of us" by Joan Osborn was it?

Um, yeah. That’s not exactly a Christian song. The first line gives it away: “If God had a name, what would it be.” The answer, of course, is Jesus. ; )

Jack The entirety of Atom Bomb by the amazing Blind Boys of Alabama.

I am woefully lacking in knowledge about the BBOA. I need to go pick up one of their CDs.

bob My understanding was that Coltrane's view of spirituality was fairly new-age, very important to him and his understanding of what he was doing through his music, but fairly wishy-washy.

I’m not sure how orthodox Coltrane was in his views (the same goes for Dylan). But the song – and album – set themselves apart from the creator in honoring the Creator.

Bryan "I Can Only Imagine," at #1 (or even above any of the notable exceptions listed above) causes me to seriously question your judgment in all other matters. Seriously, you need to stop listening to ("drip, drip") The Fish and ("More music") "K Love."

I’m sure that when John Newton first wrote Amazing Grace that some hymn snobs and worship leaders were sneering that it wasn’t going to hold up to work like Luther’s. ; )

“I Can Only Imagine” is one of the greatest Christian songs of all time. Anyone who can’t appreciate the song needs to take a good hard look at their aesthetic and spiritual taste. It is a serious and well-crafted work that deserves to be considered on its own merits and not as a result of a conclusion based on the premise “All CCM sucks”

17

AndyS I fail to find the message of Jesus Christ in any of this. In fact, seems more like the work of Satan.

Steve Taylor has responded to criticisms about this song for years. Obviously, some people don’t appreciate satire.

"As a strong believer in the sanctity of human life and an outspoken opponent of abortion, I felt like this was a song that needed to be written. I've been dismayed to watch the Pro-Life Movement in the U.S. lose some of its credibility because a few people don't believe God when he says, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay,' (Deut. 32:35, Rom. 12:19)."

…

I even spent an hour on the phone with an elderly bookstore owner in Arizona--he'd pulled the album because he thought it was wrong to blow up abortion clinics, and I congratulated him on his integrity in choosing principle over commerce before gently explaining to him the song's satirical intent.

“So what happened? It all seemed obvious to me--the flashing neon lyric in the middle of the song that says, 'the end don't justify the means anytime.' What better example to use than a clinic bomber (except perhaps the nutcases that are now shooting abortionists?) 'Christian' relativism's finest hour! (Okay, maybe Oliver 'proud to be a God-fearing liar' North matched it for sheer shamelessness. 'Does this mean it's OK to tell lies, daddy?' Do I still sound angry? Does a duck have lips? Do we get the heroes we deserve, or what?)

"I'll take flak anytime for the right reasons, but this song was controversial for all the wrong ones."

Now you might argue that Christians should never resort to satire. But it seems rather silly to criticize the song when the key line is: "Preacher on a corner calling it a crime says, 'The end don't justify the means anytime'"

18

Rich Mullins must have almost 100 songs, so I'd use those. And I'd throw in Ten Shekel Shirt, the whole album by Conspiracy Among Friends (Anthem), and Strange Occurance had a couple of songs I really like.

Although remembered for Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley's favorite music was gospel. Two of his notable performances: "Peace in the Valley" and "Take My Hand Precious Lord".

20

Just glad to see Third Day made it in the top 10!

21

Um, yeah. That’s not exactly a Christian song. The first line gives it away: “If God had a name, what would it be.” The answer, of course, is Jesus. ; )

Ahhh yes, that would be ONE name for God. But the point of the song was "what if God was one of us"...in other words what are the implications of God becoming a human...a pretty Christian concept.

Great Mass in C minor - Mozart

Mass in B flat - Vorisek

24

And where, may I ask, is Larry the Cucumber's "My Cheeseburger" or the ineffible "Cebu"?

25

Joe,

The fact that Rich Mullins was no where on your list represents the first time I've really been concerned about something you've written. *Sigh*

26

I'm also surprised you didn't include the Bobby Bare classic "Drop Kick me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life"

27

You ought to check out "In Christ Alone" Written By Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend and featured on the Newsboys "Adoration" CD. I've always Dissed my kids music in favor of the "Dead Guys" whose music has stood the test of time. However, I can't stop listening to this CD. "In Christ Alone", especially the last verse, often brings tears to My eyes:
No guilt in life, no fear in death / This is the power of Christ in me / from life's first cry to final breath / Jesus commands my destiny / No power of Hell, no scheme of man / Can ever pluck me from His hand / 'Til He returns or calls me home / Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

I believe this song will one day be a cherished Hymn.

28

I would cast a vote for "Behold the Lamb of God". Not very well known outside of Brethren circles, but a great hymn nonetheless.

The lyrics are here (scroll down 3/4 of the page):

29

No Keith Green?
Semicriminal, in my opinion. :)

30

Komm susser Todd (Come Sweet Death) - Bach
O Sacred Head Now Wounded - Bach
te deum - Arvo Part
in dulci jubilo - the Bach arrangements
okay, maybe almost all of Bach's music. Cantata 147... it goes on and on.
Agnus Dei/Adagio - Samuel Barber
So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt - Keith Green... "baMANNA bread!" hahaha I always laugh!
Just about every freakin Christmas carol written in the last five hundered years. like...
The Holly and the Ivy
O Holy Night
Hark the Herald Angels Sing

31

Every Grain of Sand - Emmylou Harris covering Dylan. The contemporary alt-country Lanois-ed version of A Love Supreme Great choice on the 'trane, by the way. It deserves a spot in the top ten, even if you had included classical music. If a love supreme can be considered a Christian song, then the door to Mozart and Handel is open.

Jesus Gonna Be Here - Tom Waits (although he might be being Ironic)

Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash does a great version of a great Depeche Mode song

By The Rivers of Babylon - The Melodians sing Psalm 137 on the soundtrack to The Harder They Come, a movie with a rather un-Christian anti-hero.

Airline to Heaven - Billy Bragg and Wilco. Woody Guthrie was insane when he wrote the lyrics to this song. Does that count?

Stairway to Heaven - Couldn't resist.

32

Oh yeah:

Chocolate Jesus, Tom Waits

33

What?? Nothing by Kerry Livgren?

I'm disappointed.

This is one of my favorite Christian Songs, sung by non-born-again Christian Steve Walsh, but written by born-again Christian Kerry Livgren.

34

Ooops. It's track 4. Amazon's not letting me copy their shortcut to the exact track.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B00004U059001004/1/102-6433952-0406504

35

Nice to see some Steve Taylor songs in there - yeah! I would have added more.

I'm also surprised that you didn't include anything by Mark Heard or Larry Norman,

To each his own right? I admire the attempt - 100 songs is a LOT!!

36

Steve Taylor!!! I predict 1999..Oohhhh

What?!? No Phil Keaggy, Keith Green and the GrandFather of Christian Rock-Larry Norman?
So Long Ago the Garden...

37

No 2nd Chapter of Acts?

I second the motion for Keith Green.

I would also petition for the inclusion of Cynthia Clawson.

I'd also like to mention GLAD - a truly awesome group.

Anyway :D

Just some input from a church music director's son...

(And no - no Joan Osborne.)

38

WHAT ABOUT, WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, SUNG BY MABLE THETFORD AND DOVIE SEABOURNE AT EAST SIDE?

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. SB

39

I third the motion for Keith Green.

Some of my favorites:

U2 - "When love comes to town" with BB King.
Jars Of Clay - Frail, Love of a jealous kind, Five Candles (You were there) heck, just about any Jars song is great!
Michael W. Smith - Friends
Larry Norman - The Rock that doesn't roll.
Benny Hester - Nobody knows me like You.
Petra - I love the Lord

40

There have been many noteworthy Christian songs mentioned here by both popular and underground musicians (please continue to search out the less widely known). Yet most here are representative of the "lamb" aspect of our Lord. Let my songs be in turn representative of the Lion of Judah.

Rites of Death - Antestor (Links directly to audio file, turn speakers down.)
I Surrender - The Unashamed
Undeceived - Extol (Links directly to audio file, turn speakers down.)
Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste - Norma Jean
In Loving Kindness - Zao
Reborn Empowered - Living Sacrifice
My Beliefs - No Innocent Victim
Letting Go Would Be An End - Symphony in Peril

41

Dylan's born-again period yielded a lot of great songs and, even more importantly, his vocals were at a peak during most of that time. Some of my favorites:

I Believe In You
When He Returns
(from the Slow Train Coming LP -- there are some great live versions of these songs floating around on bootlegs, videos, etc.)

What Can I Do For You? (from Saved)

Heart of Mine
Every Grain of Sand (from Shot of Love)

And as always with Dylan, some of the best stuff gets left off the records!

Ye Shall Be Changed (outtake from Slow Train)
You Changed My Life (outtake from Shot of Love)

The above two tracks are on the Bootleg Series v. 1-3 CD (along with a great alternate version of Every Grain of Sand).

There is also an incredibly cool little (like 2" x 3") book published by Hanuman Books called "Saved! The Gospel Speeches" edited by Clinton Heylin which compiles all of Bob's between-song preaching during his tours supporting his born-again material.

Some examples:

"I saw the newspaper last night. The Who were playing Vancouver. Peter Townsend apologized to all his fans, telling them 'we'll never leave you alone again.' You just think about that for a minute. There is one who will never leave you. I just don't think that it's Peter."

"So now, you look around today. When we started out this tour, we started out in San Francisco. It's kind of a unique town these days. I think it's either one third or two thirds of the population that are homosexuals in San Francisco. I've heard it said. Now, I guess they're working up to 100 percent. I don't know. But anyway, it's a growing place for homosexuals, and I read they have homosexual politics, and it's a political party. I don't mean it's going on in somebody's closet, I mean it's a political. All right, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I would just think , well, I guess the iniquity's not yet full. And I don't wanna be around when it is!"

Heh. Nobody's perfect. If Alan Ginsberg can forgive Zimmy, well, so can I. ;)

42

Joe,

I appreciate the list, especially - as others have mentioned - Dylan and U2. But where's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"?

And no Michael Card? No El Shaddai, God's Own Fool, Emmanuel, Why?

43

El Shaddai was in the original list Pastor Jeff

44

Congratulations on being able to do this, Joe! I've started such lists before and gotten mired down, knowing there were so many I was probably leaving out.

You obviously have a very eclectic taste in music, as do I. Many of my favorites are also on your list; however, I agree with the person who wondered about the absence of Rich Mullins. His "If I Stand" and "Hold Me Jesus" are definitely classics in my book.

I also like Mutemath. Did you know their lead singer was the lead singer of Earthsuit? Much the same sound. And out of a current crop of CCM that I find discouraging (I work in Christian radio), I continue to be impressed with Jeremy Camp, Mat Kearney and Shawn MacDonald.

45

*c eliott j,

Great list of the "other" music. I'd like to offer these as well:

Living Sacrifice - Truth Solution
Strongarm - Sorrow is a Sage
Zao - Ember
Eso Charis - Dunamis

46

Not in any particular order;

Van Morrison - Wherever God Shines His Light
Van Morrison - Full Force Gale
Jon Anderson/Vangelis -I'll Find My Way Home
Bob Dylan - You Gotta Serve Somebody
Alison Krauss - In the Palm of Your Hand
Doobie Brothers - Jesus is Just Alright
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
Bob Dylan - I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
Todd Rundgren - Love is the Answer
Johnny Cash - Wayfaring Stranger

47

Thanks Daniel, good selections as well. I would have also listed some other great artists of different veins, but I thought this list primarily needed teeth. Some other bands (Christian or with Christian members) that I am quite fond of:
Sixteen Horsepower/Woven Hand
Sufjan Stevens
Roadside Monument
Luxury
Starflyer 59
Fell Venus
Me without You
Over the Rhine
Esther Drang
Spyglass Blue

But then again, I did spend almost every July 4th in High School and College at Cornerstone.

48

http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/11/14/slavery.song.ap/index.html

Superintendent Tresa Zumsteg decided Monday to remove the song "Pick a Bale of Cotton" from the program, said Gwen Ahearn, spokeswoman for the Berkley School District.

Ahearn said that when the song was picked for Wednesday's folk songs concert at Anderson Middle School, there was no intent to offend anyone.

"As it became apparent that that is the case, we pulled the song," she said.

The school is predominantly white.

The song's lyrics include, "Jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton. Gotta jump down, turn around, Oh, Lordie, pick a bale a day."

49

This is my personal top 10

1.One-U2

2.My Own Prison-Creed

3.Dust In the Wind-Kansas

4.My Immortal-Evanescence

5.I am the Highway-Audioslave

6.Where is the Love-Black Eyed Peas

7.Hung My Head-Johnny Cash

8.Jesus Doesn't want Me for a Sunbeam-Nirvana

9.If God Will Send His Angels-U2

10.Hold Me Jordan-Tara Maclean

50

Okay, I may be a heathen but I was raised on Christian music and performed a fair bit of it as a teenager. The most obvious song missing from the list, though from a generally secular artist, is "Whenever God Shines His Light" by Van Morrison, which is a great song regardless of genre. And I agree with Jon, no Kerry Livgren? One of the great songwriters in all of popular music, Christian or otherwise. But the most glaring absence to me is the original Petra (the one with Greg Volz, everything after he left is terrible), which was for a very long time the pinnacle of Christian rock. Volz has one of the greatest voices in the world, regardless of religion or musical genre. I saw them many times in concert and I still get chills thinking about his voice soaring on "The Great I Am" or "Praise Ye The Lord". In fact, I still have a lot of their old stuff on mp3 and CD and still enjoy it.

51

Great selections, everyone. I would like to suggest In Christ There Is No East Or West. It was an old hymn, in Church of Christ, I think. It was also recorded as a guitar instrumental by Leo Kottke.

Also, two songs that no one ever heard of: the first is called Bad Leadership. It is from a Nigerian singer called Lagbaja. It thanks God, very respectfully and worshipfully, for "good leadership", and asks protection from "bad leadership".

Another haunting, extremely obscure song is called I See His Blood Upon The Rose, by the 60s/ 70s English Folk-Rock group Steeleye Span. Evereything the singer sees, the red color in a rose, the white snow on top of distant mountains at sunrise, reminds them of God's glory and love.

52

MCI:

Some of those songs aren't Christian songs.

For instance, Dust In the Wind most certainly is not a Christian song (it has existentialist, nihilist, lyrics) and was written before Livgren became a born-again Christian (and ironically made him more $$ than any other song he has written).

"Jesus Doesn't want Me for a Sunbeam"? I'm not too familiar with the exact meaning of those lyrics; but Kurt Cobain was extremely anti-orthodox Christianity and anti-organized religion. I seriously doubt that song is pro-Christian.

53

Jon,

Jesus Doesn't want me for a sunbeam was originally a christian song, Nirvana just made the sound perfect.

Also let me tell you the standard by which I call a Song Christian, its all about praising God, if I can praise God through a song then it fits well into my view of a christian song.

55

"“I Can Only Imagine” is one of the greatest Christian songs of all time."

Say it ain't so, Joe. I can appreciate it to an extent, it's a nice song, but certainly not one of the greatest of all time - especally compared to the previous hundreds of years of hymns. That's not to knock MercyMe (and I can't be explained away as an "all CCM sucks" person), but I think the song is hardly the type of song we'll remember in another 50-100 years. If it's a favorite that's fine, but I'm hard pressed to call it one of the greatest.

Personally, these are favorites:

Adam Again - Dig (covered by Jars of Clay)
The Choir - Mercy Will Prevail
Amy Grant/Michael Card - El Shaddai
Steve Taylor - Jesus Is For Losers
The Choir - Beautiful Scandalous Night
77s - Dave's Blues
Fernando Ortega - Breaking of the Dawn
Common Children - Redemption

56

I type, saddened.

No DA (aka Daniel Amos)
No Swirling Eddies
No Lost Dogs
No Michael Roe (esp. I Need God & Til Jesu Comes)
No 77s
No Charlie Peacock
No Delirious
No recent U2
No Choir
No Phil Keaggy
No Chagell Gueverra

This is a world filled with injustice :-)
