Singen ist Glückssache!
Darum laden wir euch ein, mit uns zu singen!
Hier findet ihr alle Gospelsongs, die wir heute singen.
Nehmt die Texte nach dem Konzert gerne zusammen mit den Gospelsongs im Ohr mit nach Hause. Und wer weiß – vielleicht sehen wir uns schon beim nächsten Projekt zum gemeinsamen Singen wieder! Weitere Infos dazu unten.
GOSPEL IM OSTEN (GiO)
GiO wurde 2005 im Stuttgarter Osten gegründet, begann damals mit 35 Sängerinnen und Sängern und zählt heute über 400 Stimmen.
Bei Gospel im Osten kann jede und jeder singen, in jedem Alter, unabhängig von Religion und Profession. GiO verbindet Generationen, bringt Menschen zusammen – und auf die Bühne.
Gospel ist mehr als Musik. Wer damit in Berührung kommt, spürt, wie belebend Gospel ist. Gospel berührt und baut auf.
Wir sind sicher: Singen ist Glückssache!
Keep the good things
Smiling and crying,
living and dying,
giving and taking,
healing and breaking
has been part of my life;
but I decide:
I’m gonna keep the good things,
the good things, the good things,
no matter what my life brings,
my life brings, my life brings.
I’ll treasure time anew,
as I live my life with You.
Chaos and order,
weakness and power,
ashes and beauty,
poorness and plenty,
can be part of my life;
but I decide:
I am remade, I’m Your beloved
and here to represent
Your glory in this world.
Musik: Cornelius Schock
Text: Mirjam Franz, Angela Hentze, Petra Sturm, Birgit Böhringer, Anja Kamphenkel, Elke Glatz
Kyrie
Kyrie eleison
The wind blows hard against this mountainside
across the sea into my soul.
It reaches into where I cannot hide,
setting my feet upon the road.
My heart is old, it holds my memories,
my body burns a gem-like flame.
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine,
is where I find myself again.
Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel.
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night.
Kyrie eleison, where I’m going, will you follow?
Kyrie eleison on a highway in the night.
When I was young, I thought of growing old,
of what my life would mean to me.
Would I have followed down my chosen road
or only wished what I could be?
Words and Music by John Lang, Steven George and Richard Page
Trouble
I’m gonna sing my way out of trouble!
When there’s nothing left, no hope within
and you can’t get back to where you’ve been.
Just a little love is a guiding light
When you lose your way.
I’m gonna sing my way out of trouble,
I’m gonna sing till I am free.
My God will find me here in the rubble.
Oh, Rock of Ages, You will save me once again!
When our dreams are gone and they fly away,
they return again with the light of day.
And I know that birds alyways find a song
and so can we.
Allelujah, allelujah,
at the power of Your name!
Allelujah, allelujah,
salvation is our song,
salvation won’t be long!
We’re gonna sing our way out of trouble,
We’re gonna sing till we are free.
Our God will find us here in the rubble.
Oh, Rock of Ages, You will save us once again!
Musik und Text: Martin James Smith, Jason-David Ingram, Elle-Anna Joyful Limebear, Victory Boyd
Hallelujah anyhow
I believe I’ll testify,
Gods been good to me.
Through every test and trial
I’ve got the victory.
The enemy has tried his best
to make me turn around, bring me down,
but my God has never failed me yet,
so I’m gonna stand my ground.
Not matter what comes my way,
I’ll lift my voice and say:
Hallelujah anyhow!
Wait a minute one more time,
we gotta say it again:
God’s been so good to me
and He’s my closest friend.
I’ve come to far
to turn around now.
I’m gonna stand, I’m gonna wait,
watch God work it out somehow.
Oh, hallelu, hallelu anyhow.
Hallelu, hallelu anyhow.
Hallelu, hallelu anyhow.
No matter what comes my way,
I’ll lift my voice and say:
Hallelu, anyhow!
Hallelu, anyhow!
I’ll keep singin’
Hallelu, hallelu anyhow!

Land of the Living
Out of the valley of darkness,
out of the room of dismay,
out of the shadows of anguish
we believe God is making a way.
Out of the realm of destruction,
out of the place of despair,
out of the empire of hatred,
we be lieve God has conquered all fear.
Open up, oh come see
the Land of the Living!
God is good, oh come see
the Land of the Living!
Be of good courage,
strengthen your heart,
open up, oh come see
the Land of the Living!
There is a place of surrender,
there is salvation and light.
We offer praise to our Saviour,
yes, the Lord is the strength of our lives.
There is a kingdom of healing,
there is the house of the Lord
where we are safe from our trouble,
yes, the Lord keeps us for ever more.
Open up.
God is good.
Musik und Text (nach Psalm 27): Andreas Hausammann
One Day
One, one day, one day, one day,
one day, one day, one day!
Sometimes I lay under the moon
and thank God I’m breathing.
Then I pray: Don’t take me soon
’cause I am here for a reason.
Sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down,
so when negativity surrounds
I know someday, it’ll all turn around because
All my life, I’ve been waitin’ for,
I’ve been prayin’ for, for the people to say
that we don’t wanna fight no more,
there’ll be no more wars,
and our children will play.
One day, one day, one day, one day, one day!
Manchmal so ganz allein mit mir
dank’ ich Gott für mein Leben
und ich hoff und wünsche mir
mit meinem Sein was zu geben.
Manchmal scheint nur alles schwer
keine Hoffnung, keine Tränen mehr,
trotzen will ich dieser dunklen Nacht
im Vertrau’n darauf, dass es wieder tagt, because …
One day, this all will change, treat people the same,
stop with the violence, down with the hate.
One day, we’ll all be free and proud to be
under the same sun, singin’ songs of freedom, stop!
One day, one day, one day, for the people to say.
One day, one day, one day and our children will play.
Words and Music by Peter Gene Hernandez, Ari Levine, Philip Martin Lawrence II and Matthew Miller
Imagine
Imagine there’s no heaven,
it’s easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us, only sky.
Imagine all the people
living for today.
Ah, ah …
Imagine there’s no countries,
it isn’t hard to do,
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace.
You,
you may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us
and the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people
sharing all the world.
Music & Lyrics: John Lennon, Yoko Ono
Kyrie Eleison (Hope for the World)
Lord, we come to You,
for it’s a dark and fright’ning hour.
Lord, we’re on our knees,
we pray for justice, pray for peace.
Lord, we cry for hope,
for ev’ryone and ev’ry nation.
Lord, we still believe:
You see the hurting, see the grief.
Kyrie eleison.
Christe eleison.
Kyrie eleison.
Hope for the world.
Lord, we pray for faith,
for ev’rything will change for the better.
Lord, we’re dreaming of
a world of mercy, world of love.

The Goodness
You made the rain,
so, when it falls on me, should I complain
or feel You’re calling me? It’s all on me to stay
and really catch what You’re showing,
it’s my roots that You’re growing,
’cause life is more than this moment.
You are the light
so, when the darkness falls, the greatest heights,
they never seem so tall, no, not at all, You’re right,
it’s my roots that You’re growing,
don’t wanna miss what You’re showing.
Ain’t no doubt about You,
everywhere that I go,
You keep showing up, Lord,
You make me wanna shout it: Oh,
You’re the goodness in my life!
And I’ma tell you, my true
they may come, they may go,
You keep showing up, sure do,
ain’t no doubt about it:
You are the goodness in my life!
You are the joy,
You’re the smile on the face of Your boy,
You’re the flowers at the park in Detroit,
still the words on the back of our coins.
Let’s make some noise – Hey!
You cover me,
my defender, when You’re rolling up Your sleeves,
You’re the truth that’s gonna set the captive free,
The only King that’s ever chose to bleed,
‘s what I believe.
But they keep trying
to make Your glory fade
But I ain’t really
sweating what they say
Through the good,
and the bad, and the ugly
I can still see the sunshine above me.
Lord, I love all the ways
that You love me.
You’re the good, You’re the good,
You’re the goodness!
You’re the good, You’re the good,
You’re the good, You’re the good,
You’re the goodness!
You are, You are
still the goodness in my life.
Words and Music by Toby McKeehan, Kyle Williams, Bryan Fowler and Gabe Patillo
Take me to the Water
Take me to the water,
take me to the life-streaming water.
Take me to be baptized
in the name of the Father,
in the name of the Son,
in the name of the Holy Ghost
forever and ever, Amen!
I’ve been born by His spirit,
washed in the blood of the Lamb,
I’ve been purchased by Jesus,
and now I’ve been set free, yeah!
Take me to the water,
I wanna be baptized.
In the name of the Father,
in the name of the Son,
in the name of the Holy Ghost
forever and ever, Amen!
Text & Musik: Clarence Eggleton
Shackles (Praise You)
Took the shackles off my feet
so I can dance.
I just wanna praise You,
I just wanna praise You!
You broke the chains
so I can lift my hands
and I’m gonna praise You
I’m gonna praise You!
In the corners of mind
I just can’t seem to find
a reason to believe
that I can break free.
Cause you see
I have been down for so long,
feel like the hope is gone
but as I lift my hands, I understand,
that I should praise you
through my circumstance.
Everything that could go wrong
all went wrong at one time.
So much pressure fell on me,
I thought I was gon’ lose my mind.
But I know You want to see
if I will hold on through these trials,
but I need You to lift this load,
cause I can’t take it no more.
Been through the fire and the rain,
bound in every kind of way,
but God has broken every chain,
so let me go right now!
Words and Music by Warryn Campbell, Erica Atkins and Trecina Atkins
Sufficient for Today
There will be storms
that will move out the way
and trials will come
to only test my faith.
What I’ve learned about Your favor,
Your mercy and Your grace,
is they go on forever,
they’re sufficient for today.
When I’m worried about tomorrow,
I won’t be overwhelmed
and the burdens that I’ve carried
I will choose to lay them down.
What I’ve learned about Your favor,
Your mercy and Your grace,
is they go on forever,
they’re sufficient for today.
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, they’re sufficient for today.
In the joy and in the sorrow
I find You just the same
and behind my darkest mornings
there’s a peace I can’t explain.
I’m so grateful for Your favor,
Your mercy and Your grace,
’cause they go on forever,
they’re sufficient for today.
One day I’ll finally see You
and my faith will be my sight
and all my present suff’rings
will be fine and left behind.
I’ll be standing in Your favor,
Your mercy and Your grace
’cause they go on forever,
they still go on forever,
they still go on forever
all glory to Your name!
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, all glory to Your name!
Words and Music by Tiffany Hudson, Dante Bowe, Joe Barnes, Maryanne George and Patrick Barrett
Praise
Let everything
that has breath
praise the Lord,
praise the Lord!
I’ll praise in the valley,
praise on the mountain.
I’ll praise when I’m sure,
praise when I’m doubting.
I’ll praise when outnumbered,
praise when surrounded,
’cause praise is the waters
my enemies drown in.
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
praise the Lord,
oh, my soul!
I won’t be quiet:
my God is alive!
How could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord,
oh, my soul!
I’ll praise when I feel it
and I’ll praise when I don’t,
I’ll praise ’cause I know
You’re still in control.
My praise is a weapon,
it’s more than a sound,
my praise is the shout
that brings Jericho down.
I’ll praise ’cause You’re sovereign,
praise ’cause You reign,
praise ’cause You rose
and defeated the grave.
I’ll praise ’cause You’re faithful,
praise ’cause You’re true,
praise ’cause there’s nobody
greater than You!
Words and Music by Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Pat Barrett and Steven Furtick
Was bleibt
Sag’ mir, diese Zeit,
wohin sie führt, was bleibt,
so viel geschieht,
kann es heute kaum versteh’n,
versuch es wieder, wieder und wieder,
wieder und wieder,
mit Deinen Augen zu seh’n.
Ooh, ooh, …
Sag’ mir in dieser Zeit,
was wirklich zählt, was bleibt,
bin schon oft im Morgen,
kann das Heute kaum mehr seh’n,
versuch es wieder, wieder und wieder,
wieder und wieder,
in Deiner Ruhe zu steh’n.
Mit Dir geh’ ich weiter,
Schritt für Schritt weiter …
Die Zeit ist jetzt, die Zeit ist hier,
die Zeit, die Zeit sind wir,
das Morgen fängt heute an.
Oh, nur mit Dir fang ich heute an.
Ja, in dieser Zeit
bist Du mein Fels, der bleibt,
wenn die Ruhe so laut ist
und im Sturm kein Land zu seh’n,
versuch es wieder, wieder und wieder,
wieder und wieder,
mein Herz zu Dir zu dreh’n.
Jetzt, hier, und wir,
jetzt, hier, und wir,
dreh uns in die Zeit,
Du bist, der bleibt!
