Songlist for Gaither Hymns DVDs
There has been more buzz about the Gaither Hymns DVDs than any other Homecoming in recent memory. With 200+ singers present, there were more musicians on this set than any other in recent memory–possibly ever.
There has been some speculation over what the final songlist would be–which songs would make the cut and which wouldn’t. It took some sleuthing, but I finally obtained a copy of the songlist.
Other than to note in passing that I’m disappointed that the Blackwood Brothers’ rendition of “Rock of Ages” didn’t make the cut, I’ll withhold comment. Here’s the songlist for your your perusal:

So what do you think of the final song selection? Do you think the videos will live up to the buzz?
Do the newly appearing artists make this a new direction for the Homecoming Videos? Or is this video more of the same, with the new faces being primarily part of the choir?
Note: I know I said I wasn’t going to throw in any other comment, but the songs with previously appearing artists could have turned out better because they are more used to the video format and were less nervous. Now, back to your thoughts…
