Oh When The Saints

Oh When The Saints (CWS 2012*)

Oh when the saints
Go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in!

Oh when the drums begin to bang...

Oh when the stars fall from the sky...

Oh when the fires begin to blaze...

About One Body YG&C

One Body YG&C is all about the music that supported our worship.

We want to remember the songs forever, especially the beautiful ones that no one sings anymore.

When was the last time you heard Hosannah to the King or do you even know it? It's like a Christmas song but also an Easter song in some ways...it covers both feasts. There are some like I Am the Way the Truth the Life, that we're not even sure is available on any recording and we're already forgetting the words. My eternal favourite from Evie is Live For Jesus - it's a simple but satisfying melody that harkens back to the innocence of the early days of a faith journey. Sometimes we do need to remember simpler times and use that child-like trust when the dark times are threatening. Beautiful songs like these need to be remembered and shared.
Gospel music, praise and worship songs we want to remember.
