All contemporary gospel songs are not uptempo.

Here's an example of a very widely sung, popular Black Gospel song that is slow:

Artist - Donnie Mcclurkin
Album - Various Songs
Lyrics - Order My Step

Choir: Order my steps in your word dear lord
Lead me, guide me everyday
Send your annoyting father I pray
Order my steps in your word
please order my steps in your word

Lead1: Humbly I asked thee teach me your will
While you are working help me be still
Satan is busy God is real
Order my steps in your word
Please order my steps in your word

Lead2: Wright on my tongue let my words ever fight
Let the words of my mouth be exspectable in thy sight
Take charge of my thoughts both day and night
Please order my steps in your word
Please order my steps in your word

Choir: Order my steps in your word dear lord
Lead me, guide me everyday
Send your annoyting father I pray
Order my steps in your word
Please order my steps in your word

Choir: I want to walk, worthy according to your will
Please order my steps lord and ill do your blessing will
Your world is ever changing
But you are still the same
If you order my steps, ill praise your name

Choir: Order my steps, In your words
Order my Tongue, In your words
Wash my feet, In your words
Wash my heart, In your words

Show me how to walk, In your words
Show me how to talk, In your words
When I need a brand new song to sing
Show me how to let your praises ring
In your word, In your word
Please order my steps in your word
Please order my steps in your word
