Thread Name: Let's Write Some Gospel Lyrics
Subject: RE: Let's Write Some Gospel Lyrics
Slightly off-threadm but something else that came to mind was putting lyrics from other hymns to the tune to "St. James Infirmary." One that works is "I Stand Amazed", though you have to add a syllable to first line.
[Now] I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Another that would work is "Redeemed"
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it. Redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Redeemed through His infinite mercy His child, and forever, I am.
There are, no doubt, many others that would work as well.
