acapella--the old rugged cross

[@lesliednewman1079]

It was Divine intervention that put this group together. 😇

[@TheMrBlackCrow]

Amazing how the LORD made the human vocal chords to give such beautiful praise and worship to HIM..Love this

[@thembelihlemoyo3737]

From my childhood days till now,, will never stop listening to this music..

[@char4him99]

I have loved this group for such a long time. The people have changed from time to time, but each group brings it's own unique gifts and is a blessing.

[@rkidlat]

Listened to this hundreds of times over and over

[@davidmcdole6334]

Me too

[@w3tua]

When the harmony begins around 1:20 it is SUBLIME!!!!!! I saw Acappella live in 1989 and they blew me away!

[@habitatplace9473]

I have always loved this version!!

[@rexaredim]

I've been searching for this particular version for years 😭💓

[@KITTYKAT1100101]

even though i have read the many praises of the ALMIGHTY increating such a beautiful hymn. has anybody stopped to consider that he gave all people the power to sing if they would just open their mouth because the LORD says " i don't care how you sound because i don't listen to the voice singing io listen to the heart that powers the voice"

[@JeanettaDaniels]

May God continue to bless this group as they bless us through song. This is true praise and worship-- acappella style!!!!!

[@jack5505]

this is what praise and worship should sound like. this is exellent.

[@Tasjennings75]

Grew up listening to these guys. I have all there albums. Love it! Praise God

[@johannx5]

What's the name of the group and where can I buy these from?

[@RAUL50070]

+Johann Tambayah Acapella in the site

[@grandpa0071]

the message is the gospel and that is unmistakeable! when we get to heaven we'll see the names added to the lambs book of Life because they stopped long enough for the Spirit to speak between the do wa's! keep it up!!! pray for those who don't get it...interesting what people think that God likes..humm

[@creativewordministries7849]

More timely in 2020 than ever!!!

[@char4him99]

amazon should have some of their music. As far as I know this group has existed since the 70's. This particular group of people is amazing..

[@Robbone53]

Beautiful rendition of an old favorite. I love it!

[@iamlegendinvestments]

They are very dynamic and unique. Praise God for their talents.

[@gannondubin]

WOW! Speechless, they take songs that are usually slow and pep them up! Keep up the great music!

[@agurepenny6443]

so I'll cherish the old old rugged cross!!!

[@EvelynChesser]

[@kashanna96]

i absoulutely love this song and this version is the best this was my nan's favourite hymm and my mum's now it's mine must be a family thing

[@denisonhanelt4235]

On a hill far away Stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross Where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain Chorus: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I'll lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride O that old rugged cross So despised by the world Has a wondrous attraction for me For the dear Lamb of God left his glory far above To bear it to dark Calvary Repeat Chorus Dou graças mil a meu Jesus O amor provado sobre a cruz Irá suster e conduzir A minha vida no porvir To the old rugged cross I will ever be true Its shame and reproach gladly bear Then he's gonna call me some day To my home far away Where his glory forever I'll share Repeat Chorus When I survey the wondrous cross I'll exchange it someday for a crown

[@nokwazimpofuc6801]

I will cling to that old rugged cross!

[@joshuataylor5972]

Great God

[@ShakarahMcCrae]

I love this

[@LPtxgranna]

Thanks be to God He is not limited by our finite humanity! God WILL use anything to reach the lost. He led me back through a country music song. (God used a donkey to talk to a prophet !) Paul writes in 1st Timothy 1, Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

[@nildobento1372]

Estrofe em português: Dou graças mil a meu Jesus O amor provado sobre a cruz Irá suster e conduzir A minha vida no porvir!

[@rebeccaidongesitallen6278]

[@kat260610]

Acappella was started by Keith Lancaster in 1982.

[@lysonsnyambe1481]

Give a proof dear.

[@kkkkkkatherine]

[@adanascipio2647]

[@marcossantos-qi8ut]

IMAGINA COMO SERA NO CEU

[@mcasteel1996]

@sklaft // Amen, I agree with you 100% if this is being used in the worship assembly. This type of music is not what God requires from us as His children when they come together to worship Him. Eph 5:19 and Col 3:16. However, I do struggle with the question of, in our private worship/devotion/meditation, are we bound by the same requirements as in the public assembly on Sunday? If I chose to listen to this group in my personal/private meditation is it a sin?

[@1955thekeeper]

@goodguymar God hears it all as a joyous noise. If it is described as joyous then it MUST be pleasing to Him. Think of it this way, the lyrics are the boat laden with the glorious message of God and His Precious Son Jesus Christ while the rhythm of the counter beat vocals is the water upon which it floats. Its all good, its all good. All of it is intended to Glorify God. After a really anointed sermon, I have heard parishioners also state, " I love Pastor Ted." So what if they do?

[@Thehuskarl]

@sklaft Also, there are many verses in the Bible that encourage using instruments to praise the LORD. I would agree with your first statement, but I think that can be a good thing. Psalm 147:7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! Psalm 150:3-5 3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

[@ginettemoussignac2652]

Great keep it up

[@Thehuskarl]

@sklaft Are you saying that the harmonic and rhythmic parts are inherently bad because they aren't words? I think you are wrong, if they were singing the words along with the others it wouldn't add any more words to the music. We are already hearing the words. If they sang other words to try and fit more words into the song then it would sound bad. Also music can be a language of it's own. These sounds aren't words but they communicate joyfulness anyways.

[@princessnchabs4289]

AMEN I SAY

[@SheriK926]

And exchange it someday for a crown.Amen

[@canunotg]

best!!!!!!!!

[@Thehuskarl]

@mcasteel1996 First off I would agree that this isn't something to sing in public worship because it is performance oriented rather than the whole congregation singing. Second, how does making melody in our hearts instruct people either, it is only the private worship of God. Third, what do you think about intros? This song has an eight second intro, does God think it's useless even though it is musically pleasant?

[@jhenfresh]

can someone upload the southern gospel album particularly amazing grace?

[@rougestar]

i love it omg omg

[@mcasteel1996]

@Thehuskarl // The passages you have referenced are psalms of David and not instructional passages on how er are to worship the Lord God as New Testament Christians. David penned these words long before Christ was born and befrore the introduction of Christianity in the world. Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19 tell us that we are to sing and make melody in our hearts. As we are singing we are teaching one another, how can we teach someone making sounds like mechanical insturments?

[@micaelascafechefgurl5916]

WHAT HAPPEN TO THEM, HAVE NOT SEEN OR HEARD ANY NEW MATERIAL, ARE THEY STILL TOGETHER AND SINGING?

[@Navyman825]

Acappella is still around, the group changes members as time goes on. This line up of Acappella is not together anymore, but there is a new group.

[@kkkkkkatherine]

I Love You Jesus Christ !!! Philippians 2:7-9 (King James Version) 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

[@emt1605]

I belive most of them are members of The Church of Christ.Seen them preform.They are great.

[@danielbatman88]

if you give me your e-mail i can sent to you more of thier songs........they are called sweet fellowship

[@stevenrayanderson]

@sparky88uk Hey, I'll pray for Eric. You can pray for my Eric.
