My 14 year old just asked, "What are you listening to mom?" I said church songs like when I grew up. He said "really, I thought that was some type of African tribal music". (We attend a more contemporary style church). So even a young person, with a 2 minute listen, is able to recognize the connection right away. This is beautiful music and comes from the depths of the soul and the African American experience.

This is what I call lining a hymn. I think every church should do this at least once a month, just to remind us, because if we don't pass it one, in 20 it will be a distant memory

People tend to be afraid of what they don't understand. I can see this coming back to our churches because of the times that we live in now. It's really a song of total dependence on God.

lining a hymn. don't here it much anymore. It's so basic a connection to African-American music. Beautiful example.

Having grown up in a National Baptist Church, and being African American 100% I can say that this form of singing is a combination of African culture and european influence. The stomping on the ground, clapping and responding to the leader (the person speaking before the congregation sings) is an African custom known as call an response. The song is european. The practice of the deacon reading the music is known as "lining a hymn", this is done in the black church because our ancestors as slaves did not all know how to read. I must note that the only way to properly carry out this form is to have been brought up in it and be spirit led.

My great-grandmother's church, St. James Baptist Church , in Johnsonville, SC sang meter hymn style and it would make chills go up and down your spine. I pray that this style of singing is always remembered and practiced by music ministries everywhere, especially in the south.

Thank you for sharing , Although u don't hear these hyms sung in most black churches today, it is their loss ... I sing them at home and I can feel the presense of the Lord and the Ancestors and it takes me all the way back to the Motherland! These songs and hymns are so rich and potent, it's like medicine to my soul. A million thanks for sharing. S
