I dunno, I certainly didn't hear a "good" song in that video by any stretch of the imagination. I just never hear that kind of crappy gospel music for anything other than the truth of what it really is:

I did... mediocre singing voices coupled with lyrics that seemed to have come from a fourth grader... "meh"

Obviously this is a matter of taste, and I'm not going to argue with people who don't share my appreciation of the song.
But I hope people won't pre-judge it based on its topic and will listen to the whole thing before passing judgment on it. It's a complex and varied song and not possible to judge properly without hearing it all the way through at least once.
Incidentally, this song is not at all typical of Eddie From Ohio. She's usually not the lead singer, they usually don't work a capella, and this is pretty much the only song of theirs that anyone would call gospel. I hope no one will judge the band by this one song.

Jay, I'm sincerely curious what you'd think of their singing and lyrics in this song:

I can listen to Handel's Messiah and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire anytime. Anytime. Kyrie Eleison is such a lyrical-sounding phrase all by itself. U2 has plenty of spiritual stuff that I enjoy.

I take it you don't enjoy the song either. It's all good; some of the people dearest to me don't like my musical taste.
I'm not surprised that you like those other worshipful pieces. I wouldn't expect you, of all people, to narrow your musical horizons on ideological lines.

There are some who will. As soon as you headline your thread "A Stirring Song in Praise of the Lord God" there are some people who will listen only to find reasons to rip it to shreds. Others won't even bother to listen.
I thought it was OK. Clearly it moves you more than it does me. I enjoy praise and worship music very much. Thanks for posting!

I was hoping that a few people might even be attracted by the headline.
Average singing, again... and the lyrics didn't really make much sense to me... seemed like random phrases put together cause they fit the pace of the song. /shrug
When it comes to bands with a religious message - I love the band Colors, one of my favorites: Soledad

Actually, every time I look at this thread, I'm in an environment that doesn't call for playing music on the computer. I'll get there. Sorry.
