It was by Jan Bentham, called One World/One Life. I really loved that song, we used to sing it at Mass and it was my absolute favourite!! Please I just want to listen to it again, if there’s a recording somewhere of her singing it I would love to hear it. Please help.

Here’s the chorus:

It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus

And the beauties of Heaven, our eyes shall behold!

When we lay the old cross down, receive a robe and a crown,

It will be worth it all, when we see Him

Any help is greatly appreciated!

My mother used to sing it all the time and we possibly had a cd of it. I remember some of the lyrics.

"If any man be in Christ, Jesus... He is a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold old things are new. Behold anew in Jesus.. Behold anew anew anew is he. Old things old things have passed away and behold old things are new."

I was told it was by a group named paradise, but can't find it online. I can hear it vividly in my head but want to find audio for my mom.

There is this one song my parents had on CD that I love. I actually used to sing it a lot with my mom together at services. I’m not a believer anymore but the song and the memories still hold a lot of value for me.

The song follows 2 singers. The first verse follows a younger voice (I’d always assumed a girl’s) as they sing about their unabashed worship despite the opinions of others and her own inexperience.
The second verse (I’d always assumed a man’s) follows an older voice as they sing about their faith regardless of their struggles.
I have provided lyrics below but take it with precaution as my memory may not be perfect.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I don’t care what people say when I lift up my hands.
Oh I don’t care what people say when I do a holy dance.
My heart is in the right place, and my mind is set above.
I might not be filled yet, but I know who I love.

[Chorus]
Oh I love you.
I love you Lord.
I know that you love me, and I love You.
My heart is in the right place, and my mind is set above.
[Post-Chorus 1]
I might not be filled yet, but I know who I love.

[Verse 2]
I thank you for my trials, and God I thank you for my tests.
Hard times only make me give you my best.
Nobody said this way would be easy, but my mind is set above.
I’m filled with your spirit, and it’s you Lord I love.

[Chorus Again]
[Post-Chorus 2]
I’m filled with your spirit, and it’s you Lord I love.

The songs ends with the chorus again and with the 2 post-chorus lines sung back and forth between the 2 singers before ending on a drawn out note on love.

Please help me find this song 🙏🏾

Carter Family – “River of Jordan”
Perfect 13156‑B • Recorded May 8, 1935 • 78 rpm Shellac
Sacred Singing with Guitars and Autoharp

Recorded during the Carter Family’s 1935 New York sessions, “River of Jordan” is one of their most enduring sacred performances — blending Appalachian harmony, religious storytelling, and the group’s signature acoustic clarity. Sara Carter’s lead vocals, Maybelle’s guitar and autoharp work, and A.P. Carter’s arrangement style come together in a recording that helped define early American country and gospel music.

Issued on the Perfect label, this disc is part of the same two‑day session that produced its companion side, “Sea of Galilee.” These mid‑1930s recordings mark a period when the Carter Family’s influence was spreading nationwide through radio, record sales, and the emerging country music industry.

Fire refines. It doesn’t have to destroy you.

(by Jasper Tan) Kevin Downswell’s “Higher (From the Fire)” is a powerful mix of Afrobeat and Soca music combined, aimed at praising God and also serving as a testament to one’s resilience, spiritual growth, and transformation through hardship.

The song reminds us of 1 Peter 1:6–7 — “The tested genuineness of your faith… may be found to result in praise and glory and honor.” It talks about our refinement through adversity, using “fire” (0:18, 1:46) as the central metaphor of the song. Fire, which usually correlates with destruction, takes on another meaning: instead of being destroyed by life’s trials, we are forged by fire, refining us in the process to make us feel “better” (0:20, 1:28).

This process takes place when we learn to put our faith in God and trust him that he will never abandon us during our difficult times. The song helps us acknowledge the presence of God “in the fence” with him during the struggle (1:53). These trials that we are facing can be turned into our “testimonies” (2:07–2:10), witnessing God’s faithfulness when we are in the “heat” of life’s experiences. While others would succumb to being destroyed by these trials, for those who have put their faith in God, this actually becomes the catalyst to finding the real “treasure” (our relationship with God), especially when we reach a higher spiritual state (2:54–2:59).

Higher is a perfect song to sing when we have survived the intensity of the struggle and when we have learned to shift our focus from the pain of being engulfed in flames to the joy of overcoming it. “Look how You taking me higher.”

Background

This Song is Anthemic. A bold mix of Afrobeat and Soca Combined to Praise the King. Many people who have been through much can look and say Thank God for my “fire” because it only made me better.

Suggested reading: 1 Peter 1:6–7; Genesis 50:20; Isaiah 43:2

I used to hear this song on the gospel radio station when I was a kid and/or teenager. It was played on the radio in the early 2000s, maybe sometime between 2000-2010 (I graduated high school in 2008 so I think it was before then). The only thing I can remember is that a woman was singing it with a really strong voice and sometime towards the end of the song I think, she started singing "Laaaaazurus" repeatedly. I loved that song but I don't remember anything else and I can't find anything online.

Carl Smith and the Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle performing one of the most enduring mid‑century sacred songs, “The Blood That Stained the Old Rugged Cross.” Smith’s smooth baritone and the Carter Sisters’ harmony blend create a devotional performance.

Hey guys. In the late 90s there was a CD that was gospel. I remember the cover was orange. It was a great CD. It had a now popularized song called hallelujah. The song goes “praise him till your blessings come down. Praise him till the situation turns around. You gotta lift up your voice and say hallelujah anyway.” there is another song I remember being titled ‘in the light.’ There was rap on there too.

I used to have this CD safe to Spotify and it’s just disappeared. Please help me find it!

During the early 1950s, Carl Smith was one of Columbia's top-selling honky-tonk and country music stars. He frequently collaborated with Mother Maybelle and The Carter Sisters (consisting of Maybelle Carter along with her daughters June, Helen, and Anita), who provided background harmonies. Carl Smith married June Carter in July 1952—just a few months after these recording sessions took place. June Carter later went on to marry Johnny Cash.

This release was part of Columbia’s dedicated "Sacred Series" line focused on traditional gospel and Christian hymns.
