Free Godly Music
Published by Michael Spotts: . on July 18, 2005 at 11:25 AM"Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Ephesians 5:19
The search for doctrinally saturated and spiritually edifying music can be difficult, especially in our day when lyrics are so often sacrificed to the idol of cultural acceptability. The music you'll find on this page was written, for the most part, by some friends of mine who want to offer an alternative. Their music might not top the charts, but you may find it enjoyable. And the words are solid, if not straight scripture.

Here is a quote from Abraham that he sent to me not too long ago:
"I went witnessing today. God really worked. He led me to people that where really open and ready to hear the gospel. It's a rare thing to find someone who quickly realizes they are a guilty sinner in desperate need of mercy, yet no one has ever took the time to preach the whole gospel to them. It makes me want to weep and sob. The thought, that there are so many people in bondage to sin and to the fear of death. There are so many people going to hell. I find that when I pray for people as if they are my own child I am seriously grieved for them. I shared with around 10 people today. I imagine that they are my own children. That means 10 of my children are on there way to hell. 10 of my children are in bondage to sin. 10 of my children are not walking with God. Oh, I imagine them when they where younger, maybe 5 years old. At an age when they had not yet horrifically blossomed to the corruption they are now in. I have 5 girls and 5 boys going to hell now. I cannot help but weep.
Jer 9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jer 14:17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
He dearly loves His children."
Awesome!
