Gospel music has become very popular, it refreshes our spirits and speaks our soul and refreshes our spirt. It has a way of lifting any burdens off our shoulders and give them to the Lord. Gospel music is powerful, it moves us, makes us snap our fingers and bob our heads. It can change our state of mind and be an effective therapeutic tool.
The bible tells us King Saul found peace and relief in times of stress and torment when David played him music. “Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.” 1 Samuel 16:23.
Great Gospel Classics
An example of a great classic gospel song is, Marvin Sapp’s ‘Thank You For It All’. The song centers around praising the Lord, no matter what is going on in your life, and thanking God for giving you the strength to triumph and persevere.
The song begins by thanking God for the good, bad, great, ugly, and the smallest things in life. Marvin Sapp then acknowledges that it is the challenges he has gone through in his life that have made him grow.

Psalm 98: 1-7 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn— shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
