Yes, the song "Our God, He Is Alive" in our songbook should be sort-of our unofficial theme song. Our local church in a small town, with only about 350 in attendance on Sunday, rattles the stained glass with this song.
That's great, though. It's a different section of the country! I'm in Dixie, a county of a about 15,000 with about 20% being members of the church of Christ, and about 20 congregations. God may well be more pleased with your work in Ohio with 75 members than He is with us. We take so much for granted.
Most of the Churches I've attended also sing the chorus one last time starting at a much slower tempo then building up to a powerful "The Great I AM"... might want to try that sometime... :-)
yes this song is out theme song it was by a scientist who became a christian and was inspired to write this song is a congregation from galax va by chance?
Song was written in late 60's in response to a scientist who published article stating that there is no God now; there once was, but He is now dead. I was working at a newspaper in B'ham, Al., and remember all the rebuttals and comments this man's article created.
@jvpkp495 I always enjoy the singing here at the Cherry st. congregation whenever they post a new song. Blessings to you and all the brethren who are here to see/hear this from time to time. Brotherly, RN
