I'm looking for new melody, easy for the congregation to sing, which puts Biblical truths into words. Here's an awesome heavenly melody setting out the Christian's experience of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8): The music is by Roger Jones (English composer of Christian musicals) - please listen athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ax2ln9gHxo. Music which makes you want to cry must be inspired!!

  1. Personally, I found the music a little elevator-like and think the key might be a bit high for a congregation to sing. However, I respect that we all have different tastes when it comes to the arrangement of music. The lyrics are great and I think it would work well for a choral arrangement. BTW, That same group recorded a slightly better version some months later...

  2. Hullo Simon, Thanks for listening to the Roger Jones’ music. I’ll spend the next few days wondering what you mean, when you call it “elevator-like” You seem to feel it is not particularly effective as a congregational song. This is the problem with art - there’s that strong subjective emotional element, which is so hard to pin down, in trying to explain why tasters differ. "An elevator (lift in British English) is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people or goods between floors (levels, decks) of a building, vessel or other structure.” (wiki-). Could music do that as well? Like, two floors (earth and heaven), and the truths and melody of the song both lift us from one to the other?! Clive An I take it you mean
