Practice songs for gospel beginners

Amazing Gracetraditional

Soweto Gospel Choir – Amazing Grace (Most beautiful version!!)

This hymn is so famous that it might be known by people all around the world.

It’s a hopeful song that says, despite everything that’s happened, a wonderful tomorrow awaits.

Here, I’d like to introduce the Soweto Gospel Choir’s gospel-style rendition.

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINESteeles

This little light of mine – Corrina, Corrina / Una moglie per papà Soundtrack

It is sung in the movie Corrina, Corrina starring Whoopi Goldberg.

The title translates to “I Am a Little Light,” and it carries a bright, positive message about letting your own light shine no matter what.

Both the melody and the lyrics are repeated many times, making it an easy song to remember.

Joy To The WorldWhitney Houston

Mariah Carey – Joy to the World (Live at St. John the Divine)

The original song is the well-known Christmas hymn in Japanese, ‘Joy to the World’ (Morobito Kozorite).

It begins with a solemn, gentle solo, but once that ends, it suddenly shifts into an up-tempo gospel.

It’s a song from Whitney’s starring film, ‘The Preacher’s Wife.’

THAT’LL BE THE DAYLinda Ronstadt

LINDA RONSTADT That’ll Be The Day GRAMMY WINNER

Originally a song by rock ’n’ roller Buddy Holly (best known for “It’s So Easy”), it reached No.

1 in both the U.S.

and the U.K., so many of you may be familiar with it.

This version was arranged by Linda Ronstadt in a gospel style, showing how gospel arrangements had taken hold even among white audiences.

Hail Holy Queentraditional

Sister Act – Hail Holy Queen (Hi Def)

It’s one of the most iconic songs from the film “Sister Act,” which helped popularize the gospel genre in Japan.

It starts with a hymn-like intro and then suddenly shifts into a full-on gospel arrangement.

The lively groove and clapping naturally get listeners moving.
