One of our Christian Youth Conference at Ocean Park faculty members stood up during worship at a recent meeting of Baptist churches in Massachusetts. "I love this song and I made the mistake of teaching it to CYC and now we always sing it."
Her resonant voice began the spiritual: "Deep, way down deep...." The congregation joined in with the CYCers at the back of the room adding some extra energy to one of their favorite songs. Just as if they were at the Dining Hall up in Maine, they banged the tables when they sang the word "deep" in the chorus. The rest of the congregation sang and clapped along.
So today's Song for Sunday is this song. We worship with it, having fun at the same time. It is a song that has brought us joy.
Deep, way down
Deep, way down
Deep down in my soul
Deep, way down
Deep, way down
Deep down in my soul
(call) I've got the love
(response) I've got the love of Jesus
call) I've got the love
(response) I've got the love of Jesus
call) I've got the love
(response) I've got the love of Jesus
And it's deep down in my soul
(Repeat, replacing "love" with joy, then peace, then hope and sing a final verse using each one of those with the chorus between each verse.)
What song brings you excitement and energy?
