Congregational singing

I've sang a couple songs recently that really ministered to me. We've sung both in church: Salvation Is Here we sung today but most recently we sang He Reigns as the opening song at the Franklin Graham NYPENN Festival. Led by the Tommy Combs Band at the Festival, the place was absolutely electric -- nearly 7,000 people sang with unabashed enthusiasm. I think it was enhanced by the song not being just about 'I' or 'Me' but having a global, corporate theme to it. It was a super experience whilst it lasted -- they tanked shortly after by singing some songs no one's ever heard of and that were kinda blah.

Salvation Is Here

by Hillsong United


God above all the world in motion
God above all my hopes and fears
And I don't care what the world throws at me now
I'm gonna be alright
Hear the sound of the generations
Making loud our freedom song
All in all that the world would know Your name
It's gonna be alright
Cause I know my God saved the day
And I know His word never fails
And I know my God made a way for me
Salvation is here
Salvation is here
Salvation is here and He lives in me
Salvation is here
Salvation that died just to set me free
Salvation is here
Salvation is here and He lives in me
Salvation is here
Cause You are alive and You live in me


He Reigns Lyrics

by Newsboys

its the song of every teen, rising from the african plain
its the song of the forgiven, drowning out the amazon rain
the song of asian believers, filled with gods holy fire
its every child, every tounge, every nation, A love some boy of a grateful choir

its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns

let it rise above above the forewinds, caught up in the heavenly sound
let praises echo from the towers of cathedral, to the faithful tethered underground
of all the songs sung forth the dawn of creation, some were meant to persist
of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples, none rings true'r than this

its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns

and all the powers of darkness, tremble at what they've just heard
cause all the powers of darkness, cant drown out a single word

when all gods children sing out glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods children sing out glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods people singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods people singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
glory glory, glory glory
glory glory hallelujah, he reigns
your my glory, your my glory, your my glory
oh glory glory, glory glory, glory glory
