I warned you that these would be songs that I like...... This week's pick is a bit different than most of my previous choices. I came accross it while surfing the 3 "Christian" stations on my car's XM radio. (Click for YouTube playback)
I don't know if its in celebration of African American History Month or just plain divine inspiration, but the powerful Gospel performance just grabbed me. I've listened to it a dozen or more times already tonite and it keeps getting better. The song is "Jesus" by Shekinah Glory Ministry. The CD version is almost 12 minutes long !!!
Shekinah Glory Ministry is a performing group from a non-denominational church in suburban Chicago. (South Holland) Shekinah generally means the dwelling place of God, especially in the Temple of Jerusalem. (for a deeper discussion click Wikipedia's entry)
The repetitive, mantra like chorus stirs me emotionally and when she sings "but you loved me in spite of me" I want to raise my hands and shout "Amen" - ever so slightly out of character for this reserved blogger. Its one of those "can't stop singing it/can't get it out of my head" songs - at least for me. Enjoy.

I am also moved by music that makes me want to raise my hands and shout. Thanks for sharing your music with us, Mark. The music can cross barriers of time and belief. Neat blog site.
