Beautiful song to remind us why we are Christian

No matter what trials we go through or what persecution we may endure we must always remember what Christ our Lord did for us on the cross.

"Father forgive them they know not what they do. I hear you pray for those who torture you."

God Bless.

PS. The video acompanying this beautiful song contains some images from the crucifixion, which some may describe as graphic. I believe all Christians share in the life, death and resurrection of Christ and images like these help us come closer to our Lord and to better understand our faith.

A few more threads like this and we might see a return of Christians to the forum.
Good post Indy and the accompanying video clip is

It is a lovely song, but a little NSFW due to the graphic images so might what to give that warning.

I have a soft spot for Agnus Dei

Beautiful, thank you. Here are a few more I like.

Here I am Lord

I'm the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry......

Miserere Mei, Deus

Sound of Silence

Anyone have more, our Christian faith has so much amazing and beautiful music.

Also, a little more up to date, but I really love the melody of 'Gabriel's Oboe', I play the Tin whistle, but my real love is the sound of the Oboe or Clarinet, and to play either is on my bucket list

- it was the theme tune of the movie 'The Mission' which is a really cool movie too.

Having a little praise session here by myself.

indy_man · 05-07-2013 11:12PM

On the subject of praise..

Psalm 150
1 Alleluia! Praise God in his holy place, praise him in the heavenly vault of his power,
2 praise him for his mighty deeds, praise him for all his greatness.
3 Praise him with fanfare of trumpet, praise him with harp and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourines and dancing, praise him with strings and pipes,
5 praise him with the clamour of cymbals, praise him with triumphant cymbals,
6 Let everything that breathes praise Yahweh. Alleluia!

indy_man · 05-07-2013 11:13PM

Also, I really love this.

This is a recent release by some 'Nuns' believe it or not - It's doing really well in the charts too, and not only bought by Catholics or even Christians, it's nuns singing without music who were recorded in quiet and discovered in providence singing in worship...

It's lovely - this is the Advent version of just one song acapalla by these particular nuns - there is a new recording now called 'Angels and Saints of Ephesus' and it's lovely too.

It's nice to know that when nobody else is aware that people are singing, that some who dedicate their lives are still singing - and this is an example of one group of Benedictines at a point in time - it's nice to get an insight into what seems like a restricted life of a person who decides to be a nun....

I think I understand better - gosh, they are lovely.

I happen to like this Islam-Christian version of Ave Maria

There is a meeting place between those who are Islamic and those who are Christian and that is at the remains of the house of Mary at Ephesus, where Christians and those who are Islam in faith meet in giving honor - to honor a blessed lady.

I think that's pretty cool, that both call her blessed. The first Christian was our blessed Mother, and also honoured by apparently those we misunderstand in so many ways..

It's nice to know that there is a meeting point - and it doesn't surprise me that Our Lady a mere human plays that role.

I like this and the song, a wise priest once told me of the reverence many Muslims especially muslim women have for Our Lady. It is nice to see some strands of unity in this time of division we live in. Of course there is no true unity except that through Jesus Christ, but no harm promoting whatever bit does exist.

I like powerful pieces

I was actually in a choir of 100 people singing Mozart's Requiem in an old church once. Not a seat was empty. Oh, what a magnificent (magnificent doesn't even cover it, but I don't know any other word to describe it with) feeling that was

indy_man · 30-07-2013 01:00PM

I listened more to Karl Jenkins after that amazing Benedictus posted earlier.

This sounds almost like a Triumphant return.
