CNN’s Black In America Series is focusing on the Black Church and the music that we sing. They are asking soloist, groups and choirs to be a part here’s how:
[ad]
1. Record video footage of your choir singing “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power” in the key of F.
2. Keep instrumentation to a MINIMUM– a capella is ideal, but light percussion is also ok.
3. Make sure you capture the AUDIO of the song well, by strategically placing mics where needed.
4. It’s okay to sing in your church, but even better to sing someplace that represents your hometown… significant to your community.
5. Even if you don’t have a choir, you can sing by yourself or with members of your congregation.
Files should be kept to under 600MB and uploaded to CNN before Sunday, October 10, 2010.
Chorus: 2x
I know I’ve been changed
I know I’ve been changed
I know I’ve been changed
angels in Heaven done signed my name
Well if you don’t believe that I’ve been redeemed
you know the (angels in Heaven done signed my name)
oh follow me down to that old Jordan stream
angels in Heaven done signed my name
I stepped in the water and the water was cold
you know the angels in Heaven done signed my name
oh it chilled my body but not my soul
angels in Heaven done signed my name
Chorus: 2x
Spoken:
Somebody said how can a brown cow
eat green grass and give you white milk
well if you think that’s something
God’s chemical laboratory of redemption
took my black soul and dipped in red blood
and I came out white as snow
Angels in Heaven done signed my name
angels in Heaven done signed my name?

Be Ye Steadfast Lyrics
Performed by- Florida Mass Choir
Written by- Arthur Jones
Chorus
Be ye steadfast,
unmoveable, always abounding
in the word of the Lord.
(repeat)
Verse 1
I often wonder why clouds seem to dim my skies,
even though I search with hope and determination;
so often it turns into nothing but frustrations.
So then I kneel, I kneel down to pray.
It seems like I can hear the soft voice of Jesus,
always seem to say…
Chorus
Verse 2
Sometimes my way seems so very hard,
so much so, I can’t see the road.
But then I go on, not knowing right from wrong,
seems like I can’t get enough courage
to stand there and be strong.
So then I kneel,I kneel down to pray,
seems like I can the soft voice of Jesus,
always seem to say…
Chorus
Vamp
Hang on in there
Verse 1
Praise Jehovah, the King of Kings.
Praise Jehovah, You’re my everything.
From the rising of the sun,
’til the going down of the same;
praise Jehovah, the Great I Am.
Verse 2
Praise Jehovah, He’s the God who will supply.
Praise Jehovah, He’s our banner and our guide.
From the rising of the sun,
’til the going down of the same;
praise Jehovah, the Great I Am.
Verse 1
Bridge
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
and enter His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him and bless His holy name.
