		<description>Hey Aaron,

Good to see you again, brother.

You can try these (with thanks to Yongchun for the recommendations):

-- &lt;a href="http://www.abidingradio.com/" title="Abiding Radio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Abiding Radio&lt;/a&gt;
-- &lt;a href="http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?s=radio%20relaxing%20hymns" title="Word of Truth Radio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Word of Truth Radio&lt;/a&gt;

I also go to these occasionally:

-- Hymns section at &lt;a href="http://www.crosswalkradio.com/" title="Crosswalk Radio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Crosswalk Radio&lt;/a&gt;, though you'll need to register and login
-- &lt;a href="http://www.cyberhymnal.org/" title="The Cyber Hymnal" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Cyber Hymnal&lt;/a&gt;

Hope that's helpful!

AFAIK, most Protestant churches in Singapore sing either hymns or CCM exclusively, seldom a mix. The only ones that mix, and which I've heard, is at some Roman Catholic churches. I come from the Bible-Presbyterian church which sings only hymns.

Shalom.</description>

		<description>Yeah! I love hymns too. It's really special compared to CCM. I would love to attend a church that would sing both CCM and hymns. By the way do you know any site where I could get such hymns? or any cds to recommend? So far those CDs that I have are actually CCM-nized hymns.</description>

		<description>Douglas:

Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts on this.

I have quite a disdain for the modern musical styles that we hear on the radio nowadays -- nothing is original and everything hangs too much on the beat and special effects.

Even the voices of some popular artistes are well-tuned digitally to sound better. The disappointment comes when you hear these 'singers' live.

That said, there's also the phenomenon that many CCM artistes are trying to cross-sell their music to secular stations, and therefore purposely diluting the lyrics of their songs to fit. When many are driven by monetary motives, is it any wonder that much of CCM is nothing but secular music that occasionally mentions God?</description>

		<description>Aye, Michelle, that happens to be one of my favorite hymns too, especially after having read the story of how the hymn came to be written.</description>

		<description>Sigit:

Hm... I think I've come across that a long time ago while I was learning to play the violin and taking lessons in the theory in music as part of the course. The Book of Psalms is one of my favorite books too!

God bless, and Shalom!</description>
