Fab Five!!-Kid Style
I got this week’s Fab Five from my two precious little ones. When I asked them what their favorite gospel songs were they were a bit hesitant to tell me. They gave me a big smile and asked me why I was asking them that question. Apparently they think that a lot of what they tell me gets put into one of my blogs. I don’t know why they think that……
I was able to coax some of their favorites from them and it did make it to this blog. I just won’t tell them.
My kids have been hearing gospel music all of their lives. I think of it as an investment in their spiritual beings. As they grow older and go through the various changes of life I firmly believe that gospel music will always be a comfort to them when they need it.
1. With Long Life & Surely Surely-Israel and New Breed-Kids seem to like upbeat songs, and my kids took a quick liking to these two songs. They even know the track numbers to get to them quickly.
2. I’ve Got The Victory-Yolanda Adams-This one is a favorite of mine too.
3. This Is It-Kirk Franklin-Kirk has always gotten the attention of the young crowd starting with the breakout single “Stomp”. He hasn’t lost his touch with this one. Cool album cover!
4. In The Sanctuary-Kurt Carr-This is one they hear in church a lot and I hear them singing around the house. I like a lot of Kurt Carr’s songs, so I was happy to hear that they liked this one.
5. LeCrae, Da Truth, T-Bone, Canton Jones-I don’t listen to gospel rap a lot but of course the kids like it. What I hear blasting from their room when they are getting ready for school sounds pretty good. ”Jesus Muzik” by Lecrae is one of their favorites.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s Fab Five. What songs are favorites of the kids in your life? Post a comment and let us know. To get things started, we are giving the first person to post a comment a free copy of T57 by Trin-i-tee 5:7. Post those favorites! We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
Buy a gospel music CD and bless someone with the good news that is is always in great Gospel Music!!

Sunday Gospel!-Something About That Name-Rance Allen & Kirk Franklin

What can you say about Rance Allen? He has one of the best voices in gospel music. When that voice is paired up with the energy of Kirk Franklin a great song is born. This is one of my favorite videos because of the great lyrics. There is nothing sweeter than the name of Jesus! Enjoy your Sunday!
