My friend Paula is Christian and likes to listen to hard-core Praise music. I find that kind of music grating, but I respect everyone's right to listen to what they want to and show reverence for God (or not) in whatever way suits them.
On Sunday mornings, I tune into the local classical music radio station. They play cantatas by Bach, Handel and others. I really enjoy them.
I also like some bluegrass and "old time" gospel tunes, including Hank Williams's "House of Gold" and Front Range's "One Beautiful Day." I actually perform the former now and again.
Do you ever listen to sacred music? Do you have a favorite kind? I'll link Hank's "House of Gold" as performed by one my favorite bluegrass bands, The Seldom Scene.

I love various church hymns in both English and Latvian, I also like gospel music, I love how Elvis sang How Great Thou Art and that version tears me up whenever I listen to it,

@RasmaSandra Will check it out. Was Elvis a religious man?

@wolfgirl569 Yeppers. It's one of my "wipe away a tear" songs. A fella needs those now and again.

If I'm behing honest, no. I had a few favorite hems I'd sing along to in curch, but that's about it. I typical like more upbeat music, and avoid anything religious. The exception being my sister's high school Jazz band.

I can't praise something I don't believe in so that type of music wouldn't do much for me. I like the classical better. I was sure happy to have found the flute music with rain in the background the other day when I was waiting for the inspection ladies to come. I like a lot of different music, religion isn't one of them. There is only one religious tune I like and that is "The Old Rugged Cross". That has always been one that I like.

Some of the classical music I like might be labeled as sacred. I love Bach. The Ave Maria from Schubert is clearly sacred.

I love southern gospel. It’s what I was raised on, with Gospel Singing Jubilee coming on TV every Sunday morning at 9 AM.
I also love bluegrass gospel, especially the a cappella style. Here’s Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver doing a favorite.

Finally got to listen. Loved it. Then this one came up. Beautiful. I have decent voice, but I wish I could sing like that. I don't do Jesse Winchester songs because I can't sing like him. Heh. John Prine suits me

I'm glad you like House of Gold. That kind of music grates on me and I love praise music. Contemporary praise and worship. I listen to it often on Alexa.

No, I don't listen to sacred music. The closest I come to that is listening to Amy Grant. I'm a 60s and 70s kinda gal. Have a good week.
