You Know You Live in Germany When….#7

You know you live in Germany when you hear a “Lobpreis Team” in church.

I wanted to give you a glimpse into my German church services. At FeG Kandern, we sing a mixture of original German praise songs, American praise songs translated into German, and hymns (some familiar, some new to me). The worship team at my church rotates from week to week, so some weeks we sing mostly hymns, and other weeks we sing more praise songs.

Some typical worship songs and hymns that I have come to appreciate:

“Wohin sonst” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ8vWt4KZuU

“Wer ist ein Gott wie Du” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG1xF5SCXOg

“Lobe den Herrn” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtP4Oxj4MlQ&feature=related

(please excuse the psychedelic background and cheesy singers! The words are actually good, and the melodies are also really good when done well!)
