I love country music, I like Nascar, I own a spitoon and my children are <BR/>8th cousins once removed (seriously).<BR/><BR/>But I like you so here it is -<BR/><BR/>Jimmy Wayne, "I love you this much." We used it one easter and told the story of Jimmy. Go to his website and see his real story. We closed with this song explaining the story we told at the beginning was about Jimmy Wayne. We talked about the love of The Father and how he is different from some earhtly fathers a lot of people have had. Watch it - www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUiW-zC8qNO<BR/><BR/>The second one is by Brooks & Dunn, "Believe." Never have used it but the chorus is very worshipful. Watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLA06UmFg0s<BR/><BR/>And the last one is Randy Travis, "Three Wooden Crosses." It is a great song and uses the word "hooker."<BR/><BR/>BakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021266862340067394.post-51673163188336393892008-05-01T08:58:00.000-04:002008-05-01T08:58:00.000-04:00What a great idea. I think there are more country fans than you think. Thre are a lot of songs that are inspiring from country artists. <BR/>I Saw God Today - George Straight<BR/>Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks<BR/>Monday Morning Church - Alan Jackson<BR/>When I get where I am going - Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton<BR/>The River - Garth Brooks<BR/>You are Not Alone Tonight - Keith Urban<BR/><BR/>These songs are so haunting and incorporate God in a way that can ordinary people can relate to. I hope to hear some of these powerful songs. I have goosebumps just thinking of it. <BR/><BR/>I am excited about this series and can't wait to bring my friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021266862340067394.post-33957658095366444552008-05-01T08:48:00.000-04:002008-05-01T08:48:00.000-04:00LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING - TIM MCGRAW - I get goosebumps just thinking about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021266862340067394.post-7315410958133034662008-04-30T23:20:00.000-04:002008-04-30T23:20:00.000-04:00Please don't sing "Jesus take the wheel" I think that Jesus would HIGHLY disapprove of anyone letting go of the wheel.

You have come a very long way baby.<BR/><BR/>I used to listen only to classic rock until about 5 years ago. Now most of what I listen to are Country Music songs (along with contemporary Christian music), of course. I guarantee if you listen carefully to the stories within some of these songs you will find some that will put a tear in your eye. My favorite country artists are by Reba McEntire, Bonnie Raitt, LeAnn Rimes and Martina McBride, in that order. <BR/><BR/>EdEd Fishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021266862340067394.post-70161069357894573822008-04-30T17:43:00.000-04:002008-04-30T17:43:00.000-04:00Ells and I have been country music fans for awhile, but early on in our marriage we were definitely rockers, no country to be seen. So as I remember it, the very first song we actually listened to - in a truck stop off of Route 81 in PA - was called 'The Girls Get Prettier at Closing Time'. Now there's wisdom and there's just plain crap in that one, but thought you might consider it as fodder for 'what not to think about as a Corinthian Christian'!!

During those five years I had to drive round-trip from Philadelphia to East Tennessee 15 -20 times a year and almost always through the night. Country music was the only thing available for most of the way. I got hooked.<BR/><BR/>My vote is clear. For your sermon on 1 Corinthians 12-14, open the service with <I>Deeper than the Holler</I> by Randy Travis, then cut to an instrumental while someone reads chapter 13.<BR/><BR/>It isn't a fit for your series but many days I hum myself to sleep with Tim McGraw's <I>Where the Green Grass Grows</I>.<BR/><BR/>I could spend a lot of time on this. I think that you may be surprised how many of your people are closet country fans.

Another, of course, was The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.
