About This Quote

Gospel music is nothing but singing of good tidings -- spreading the good news. It will last as long as any music because it is sung straight from the human heart. Gospel music traces its roots back to the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, and this makes it a very powerful and enduring symbol of faith and devotion. The lyrics of gospel music are often full of references to biblical characters and stories, but the songs themselves don’t tell stories. They simply express religious beliefs through song -- a way to pass along spiritual truths without having to explain them.
