What is Your Favorite Southern Gospel Song of All Time?
I was checking my email and someone had asked what the top three songs of last year were. I stared at the computer with all of the different song titles and wondered what I would consider the best songs of all time. After careful thought I would have to say that my top three favorite Southern Gospel Songs are:
1.) Gold City, "Midnight Cry". There is just something about Ivan Parker's voice on this song that brings it home.
2.) Crabb Family, "That Ain't No Mountain". This song just encourages me each and every time that I hear it.
3.) JD Sumner and the Stamps, "You've Got To Walk That Lonesome Road". Just a personal favorite. I dream of singing that low. Ha!
Honorable mentions (read: he can't really narrow it down to three)
a) Florida Boys, "When He Was on The Cross". A song that never goes out of style.
b)McKameys, "God on the Mountain". One of my favorite sing-along-to songs. Yeah - I do a pretty good Peg McKamey . Hahaha...
c) Dove Brothers, "Didn't It Rain". So fun.
d) The Rambos, "I Go To The Rock". This song sounds good even when I sing it!
e) Jimmy Swaggert, "Never Been This Homesick Before". Great piano, great vocals, great song. Probably the most requested song last year.
There you have it. My top songs. Let me know what yours are. Perhaps I'll do a Memorial Day countdown of the top 20 Southern Gospel Songs of all Time.

I would like to vote for the Cathedrals song "step into the Water" and the Mckameys "God on the Mountain". I would also like to vote for the Booth Brothers "He Saw it All"
Thank you and I really enjoy your radio station in the morning.
I like the Florida Boys song when He was on the Cross. I also like McKameys song God on the Mountain and Karen Peck's Four Days Late.
Thank you,
Dave
This was really tough, there's so many good songs out there. I'll go with Crabb Family "Jesus In A Song", Nelons "I Choose The Lord", Lordsong "While I Wait". I could go on & on with good song.
Thanks Tim

I think that any top list would have to include the Florida Boy's song When He Was On The Cross. Another song is the Crabb Family Through the Fire. I guess my thrid song would be the Martins song The Promise.
Thanks for playing Southern Gospel Music.
