When I was little I went to church two times a week: On Sunday I had church and Sunday School, on Wednesday I had Choir Practice. Later on there was communion class, and Confirmation.
It was a very traditional church. The hymns sang in church were typical; unlike the contemporary churches, and services.
I remember singing
How Great Thou Art. As a kid I loved that song! Why? Because it had art in it. It was talking about how great art is. How could I not like it? LOL I didn't really understand the, "Then sings my soul, my savoir God to thee..."
The adults I went to church with loved
Go Tell it on a Mountain. It was pretty catchy, and a strong song. As a kid I pictured Julie Andrews in
Sound of Music. She escaped the Nazi regime by hiking through the mountains.
Another song I loved was
Onward, Christian Soldiers. It to was a strong song. Heavy voices from the church bellowed, and echoed in the church. Men sang this song stronger than most. The low notes were more accommodating to them; compared to the other songs. I loved it because the song to me was about the green plastic toy soldiers I saw some of the boys in my class play with. They were marching to war.
This post is in no way bashing church, or religion. It's truly my thoughts as a child.
