Old Gospel Songs for When You’re Tired of Being Strong | Vintage 60s & 70s

Old gospel songs, vintage gospel music, traditional gospel hymns, and old church gospel inspired by the heartfelt Christian sound of the 1960s and 1970s. There are days when you get tired of holding everything together. Days when you’ve been strong for everyone else. Days when your heart feels heavy. Days when you simply need to sit quietly, hear the name of Jesus, and remember that you do not have to carry everything alone. OLD GOSPEL SONGS FOR WHEN YOU’RE TIRED OF BEING STRONG is a collection of original Christian gospel songs created for those quiet moments when you need peace, prayer, comfort, and renewed faith. These songs speak about Jesus, grace, mercy, prayer, the cross, salvation, God’s presence, forgiveness, hope, weakness, perseverance, and trusting the Lord one more day. The music is inspired by traditional American church gospel from the 1960s and 1970s, with a mature male gospel voice, spoken sermon introductions, worn upright piano, warm church organ, sparse arrangements, soft male harmonies, and an intimate vintage recording sound. Put this on during a quiet evening, Bible reading, prayer time, or whenever life has asked more from you than you feel able to give. You do not have to be strong every moment. You can rest in Jesus. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 KJV 00:00 Come and Rest Awhile 04:06 Jesus Is Here in This Room 09:06 Heaven Knows My Name 13:39 Light Enough for One More Step 18:20 At His Table I Remember 23:32 He Came Looking for Me 28:19 Come While Mercy Calls 33:41 He's Not Finished With Me Yet 38:35 Keep Us One, Dear Lord 43:42 He Did Not Cast Me Away 48:37 Bless the Work of My Hands 53:15 I Have an Advocate Above These are newly written original compositions inspired by traditional gospel music.

If you would rather not explain, you can simply write: “Lord, give me strength.” Someone else reading the comments may need that prayer too.
