I play in a church band and was hoping to get some suggestions on songs to play. We have a lot of older folks that really like country sounding music and really enjoy when we play the stuff they grew up listening to.

I'm looking for stuff that isn't super slow like The Old Rugged Cross. We do Are You Washed/I'll Fly Away/I Saw the Light but need a few more.

Thanks y'all!

Any of the Fanny Crosby hymns might fit the bill.

Blessed Assurance
Redeemed
Praise Him Praise Him

Check out her listing. One of, if not the most, prolific hymn writers in American history. She's got tons of great ones

"In the Garden" is one of my favorites.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Jesus, Savior Pilot Me

Don't know if you like "Old Time Religion," but it's good enough for me.

Not a traditional Gospel classic but written in that vein. I believe it was release in the '90s

Another vote for come now fount of every blessing. Also, all hail the power of Jesus name, to God be the glory, and my personal favorite as a child - low in he grave he lay.

Go Tell it On the Mountain.

Definitely not country sounding, or traditional, but glorious nonetheless.

Are You Washed in the Blood?



Edit: which could double as the title of a song by Slayer.

Uncloudy Day and pretty much every other song on Willie's "The Troublemaker" album.

So of mom's favorites:

Just A Closer Walk With Thee


Leaning on the Everlasting Arms


Softly and Tenderly


When the Roll is Called


In the Garden

He's still singing and writing songs, but a lot of the music Phil Cross has written would fit here. He's extremely talented.

Thanks for all these suggestions!

"On the Jericho Road" is one they would like.

All great. Add Church in the Wildwood.
