Here is one by Casting Crowns, it was inspired by a little girl who was terminally ill. The Mothers faith really made an impact on the band. I like to crank it when life is a struggle.

Try prayer. Cranking it might not work as well.

Thats the beauty of it IV, prayer and music go hand in hand, a good example is the Molokan way of worship, and the Psalms found in the Bible.

Here's one thats an awesome prayer:

Jacob's Ladder

Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree

To raise up his ladder of mercy for me

Press onward climb upward the top is in view

There's a crown of bright glory awaiting for you

As Jacob was travellin was weary one day
His head on a stone for a pillow did lay
A vision appeared of a ladder so high
It stood on the earth while the top reached the sky

This ladder was tall and yet so well made
Stood thousands of years and never decayed
High winds from the heaven's they reeled and they rocked
But the angels they guarded from bottom to top

Another beautiful tune sung regularly:

Beloved contemporaries and great friends
Of these final and difficult times.
These difficult and dim times weary our unrestrained journey
In purity to the eternal Creater,
So that the soul loses sight of its appointed place.
Because in living for the world it occupies itself
With bodily obligations and of itself cannot attain bliss.
And if the ray of heavenly radiance enlightens not its eyes
It wanders in oblivion about this world as in a fog.
Beloved, with warm tears let us together beseech
Our Creator regrding our helpless souls
While the time is opportune.
From the depths of our heart let us speak to him in prayer.

Thanks for your posts DHS.

If only todays youth could focus on our own wonderfull and divinely inspired songs and instruction.

Rather than on the ones that are composed by mans futile mind.

In 20 years or so, many will come to church once a year or so for their yearly rations of paska bread and colored eggs.

Sticking with old school theme today, here is a newer one by an old school artist. Johnny Cash, by far one of my favorite songs by him.

[flash=320,256]http://www.youtube.com/v/W08MS3ndUX0[/flash]

From the hands it came down
From the side it came down
From the feet it came down
And ran to the ground
Between heaven and hell
A teardrop fell In the deep crimson dew
The tree of life grew

And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood

From the tree streamed a light
That started the fight 'Round the tree grew a vine
On whose fruit I could dine
My old friend Lucifer came
Fought to keep me in chains
But I saw through the tricks
Of six-sixty-six

And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood

From his hands it came down
From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And ran to the ground
And a small inner voice Said "You do have a choice."
The vine engrafted me
And I clung to the tree

I too want to thank DHS for his post & I totally agree that in our heritage, we have an awesome collection of spiritually inspired prayers, songs & hymns which are beautiful and full of enrichment.

But...

There will always be the curious, rebellious & just the wandering ear; to music other than what is available in our heritage of Molokan Music. I love our songs & psalmee and I believe that many of our youth do as well, FV! But we have to be open to the person who enjoys all types of music.

What we need, is to encourage that our youth, if they are going to be wandering in the selection of what they listen to, then we need to "Steer or Guide" them to include the music that has a "Message"! And to lessen the secular garbage that is out there.

I truly believe that the majority of our youth will be rebellious in some way. and I believe that some will absolutely hold to the requests, teachings & suggestions provided by their parents & elders, that not all things are beneficial for the ears to hear. But if they are in their rooms with no supervision, if in their vehicles with AM/FM Radios, & CD players (if they now drive), or now, it seems some are constantly plugged into portable MP3 players; they will most likely be listening to music other than Molokan inspired pesni & stikhi. Why not spiritual songs with a message of the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ & everything else that is found in the Bible? I don't see harm, when tempered properly. Scripture teaches: If it is not against the cause of Christianity, then it is in accordance with it. (My interpretation of that scripture).

It is true when Solomon says, Nothing new under the sun: many years ago the music that was entering the curious wandering ear, was ACDC, Aerosmith & Black Sabbath. Today who knows what is out there probably no better & possibly even worse! That ear of today will most likely be drawn to such, that is why I think we err when dis-couraging the youth from listening to "Christian Music".

I think it is much more positive to have that ear tuning into a Positive Message of Hope! Not death, drugs, sex, satanic worship, suicide, violence, body mutilation, etc. All of these are in lyrics of music that some of "OUR" youth do listen to. And yet others do not go to this extreme, but still listen to secular messages that may be milder than above. I have seen many CD cases in our youths cars, Los Angeles, Central Valley & Oregon. And back in the day as well, music other than Molokan and not always Christian. Always was & unfortunately/apparently always will as Solomon said.

We need more able bodied individuals, young men & yes even women to teach spefki. They will be able to instill the beautiful heritage of Molokan singing, where praise & worship are unto God, thru the power of the Holy Spirit. This will increase the knowledge of these songs & hymns in our youth & eventually it will be appreciated even more & for what value it has to our brotherhood.
