On the same "note", what is your favorite hymn? I have two and I really can't pick between "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art". I know, I know, I said FAVORITE, but how could I choose?? God bless!

Ardie, when I read the title I immediately thought of those two, then I read your post. Another favourite is Shine, Jesus Shine, or Hark the Herald Angels sing.

"At The Cross" is my favorite.

-- Cheryl in KS (cherylmccoy@rocketmail.com), November 12, 2001.

"I'll Fly Away" done with a banjo. My husband sings contemporary Christian music around this area, right now my current favorite that he sings is Steven Curtis Chapman's "His Strength is Perfect"

Marching to Zion, Farther Along, My God and I, This is My Father's World, There is a God, and My Song is Love Unknown.

ummmm...maybe not a hymn...we don't sing it at our church but, an inspirational song... SOMEBODY'S PRAYING by Ricky Scaggs just gives me chills.

-- Judy in North Carolina (mpjprus@bellsouth.net), November 12, 2001.

First and foremost would be "Amazing Grace", second would be "Because He Lives". I come close to tears everytime I hear either one and I cannot help but sing along with them!

-- Barb in Ky. (bjconthefarm@yahoo.com), November 12, 2001.

"In The Garden" , in addition to many of the others listed.

-- Judi (ddecaro@snet.net), November 12, 2001.

I agree with Judi! "In the Garden" and probably next is "How Great thou Art"! How in the world does one choose their favorite? I just love them all!!!

Oh, can't pick, can't pick..they are ALL so wonderful....."I'll fly Away" (hubby and I harmonize to this in the car), "It is well with my soul" (makes me blubber every time), "Amazing Grace" "I Can Only Imagine" (awesome contemporary song!) and a song written by my son, Scott called "Delivered"....a rock/blues praise song that makes the rafters in the church shout "amen"..just seeing him play the music is such a miracle!!!!! I am learning how to play the dulcimer and cannot wait to have somebody (anybody) actually recognize a hymn I am playing LOLOL

"It is no secret what GOD can do" for those of you who have answered otherwise.....

-- jillian (sweetunes483@yahoo.com), November 12, 2001.

"How Great Thou Art" and "The Old Rugged Cross" have to be my favorites and I can hardly sing or hear them without bawling. But, I feel that is the Spirit, comforting me and reminding me just how great a God we serve. Praise the Lord!!

-- Ivy in NW AR (balch84@cox-internet.com), November 12, 2001.

"It is Well With my Soul" has always topped the list, and "Amazing Grace" was played at my Daddy's funeral. "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" is one I didn't notice posted already, and "Fairest Lord Jesus" -- A lot of people I know have described it as melancholy, but to me is is a reminder that there is nothing here, no matter how beautiful, even the faces of our own children and spouses, that can equal His face and love.

-- Christine in OK (cljford@aol.com), November 12, 2001.

Amazing Grace, Lamb of God and the Old Rugged Cross.

-- Kathy (jubilant@ncweb.com), November 12, 2001.

At our church and fellowship eve meeting, we sing mostly scripture set to music--really a good way to memorize scripture! These are my favorites. Next would probably be almost anything Kenneth Copeland sings, especially I HAVE RETURNED.

-- gibson girl (bobtravous@email.com), November 12, 2001.

Only one! Gregorian Chant-'Hosanna fillio David' and Silent Night sung in the origianal German.

-- vicki in NW OH (thga76@aol.com), November 13, 2001.

My favorite hymn would be Swing Low with the fiddle,banjo's and harmonica!!I love the older sounding instruments!I also just love the song Shout To The Lord. I just can't help but to stand up and praise God when we sing this at church!

-- Micheale from SE Kansas (mbfrye@totelcsi.net), November 13, 2001.

"In the Garden" and "Amazing Grace".
