Thread Name: Biblical Place Names Songs
Subject: RE: Biblical Place Names Songs
John on the Sunset Coast, in response to your question about what kind of songs I'm hoping would be posted to this thread-and also Walrus who asked if the songs you posted count-I'm looking for songs that refer to an actual geographical site, as well as songs that refer to symbolical locations. In other words, I'm interested in whichever songs folks believe fit this thread.

Thanks, to all who have posted to this thread so far!

Special thanks to Kent Davis for your 29 Dec 07 - 11:43 PM post.
I appreciate the information that you included about the significances of the geographical locations referenced in the songs you listed. Fwiw, the only song in your list that I think that I know is "Lead Me To Calvary", that is if that song has the chorus:

Less I forget Gethsemane.
Less I forget Thy agony.
Less I forget Thy love for me
Lead me to Calvary.

-snip-

Also, Kent, you wrote "In Ohio and West Virginia, these songs are frequently sung in the churches of Christ". I'm curious, does "the churches of Christ" refer to a particular Christian denomination? And, if so, is that denomination the same as or related to the Church of God In Christ {COGIC} denomination?
