It bothers me a bit that people speak of "Christian music" as though it were a music genre. "Gospel music" is probably a legitimate recognised genre, though I wish it had a different name because it really refers more to a particular style of singing. "Christian rap" though? "Christian metal"? I don't get it. If the instruments are played the same way as in a metal band, and the vocal style is the same, call it metal.

I call it both but we call it Christian because of the message.
I don't really see what difference it makes.

The gospel music we listen to is about Christ so it is quite acceptable to call it Christian music

If you asked me what I listen to, would it be very informative if I said I listen to a lot of "agnostic music"?

Bob, if you listen you will know what it sounds like. When we say Christian music it tells us all what it is about.

Only thing I have to add is Christian music is just another meaning for Gospel which means good news which means Christ.

Oh my goodness I just realized and saw I did not start this topic :laugh: Someone else did but I guess I answered for them anyway.

My Mom and Dad used to sing this song quite often in church in the good ole days while Mom played the guitar.
Just found out it is Hank's song
