Old School Friday: Gospel/Praise/Worship/Inspirational

Filed Under It's The Music, Old School Friday on June 20, 2008

Gospel music speaks to my soul…it is the music that lifts me on days when I am deepest in the valley, it gives me hope when I think there is none, it brings a message from God that is always timely…it seems that the right song for the right moment always comes on just when I need it, and I know that it is not coincidence…

I show love today to Kirk Franklin…

Good ones! I went real old school and selected "Maybe God is Tryin' Tell You Somethin'" from The Color Purple.

Although I don't think I've ever heard Kirk actually sing :razz: I do love his choir (crew). They can take a song and have you jumping for joy.

Oh no, you didn't post "Revolution." You know I had to get out of my chair! I believe Kirk has a message for the youth, and for some old school folk like us. Good choice!

My OSF is up!

You know Kirk is the MAN!!! He stays in my steady rotation. No matter the controversy, and amidst all the haters Kirk stays true to what he knows! Some people are always down on him, and down on Christian Hip Hop in general but having kids I know for a fact that Kirk has a voice and a message for today. I for one am glad that God continues to use Kirk!
Ok, I'm gonna stop because this is a sore spot for me, so I'm gonna hop down off my soap box for now!!

I like Kirk. At first he had to grow on me.
So, I guess OSF is for folks like me this week. Those who need to drop and pray.
You have a wonderful weekend Ms. Marvalus.

Hugs.

Kirk is the man! 'Revolution' is nearly one of the greatest gospel anthems ever introduced to the airwaves.
