Often, when I hear an excellent song on a project that never gets singled, I file it away mentally as a song I’d like to see some group re-do someday. Here, in no particular order, are ten songs recorded in recent years that deserve to not be forgotten.

• “We Will Be Changed” (Perrys, Life of Love, 2004). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Kingdom Heirs
• “Believing is Seeing” (Dove Brothers, Anything But Ordinary, 2005). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Mark Trammell Trio.
• “His Response” (Mercy’s Mark, self-titled, 2004). They did single the song, but do not perform it live anymore. An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Triumphant Quartet.
• “When Mercy Came Down” (Mark Trammell Trio, This Time, 2005). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Perrys.
• “Death Has Died” (Cathedrals, High and Lifted Up, 1993). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. (This was the song that originally got me interested in Southern Gospel.)
• “Forgave Me, Saved Me, Raised Me” (Triumphant Quartet, self-titled, 2004). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Gold City.
• “A Day that Never Ends” (Perrys, Come Thirsty, 2006). An artist that would do well with the song: Ernie Haase & Signature Sound.
• “The Voice I Could Not Resist” (Greater Vision, My Favorite Place, 2006). An artist that would do well with the song: Gaither Vocal Band.
• “A Wonderful Shepherd” (Poet Voices, This Changes Everything, 2001). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Blackwood Brothers Quartet.
• “Until I Start Looking Ahead” (Perrys, Life of Love, 2003). An artist that would do a great rendition of the song: Greater Vision.

Now, since I didn’t say that these were the best 10, I don’t expect this post to stir up any controversy. In fact, I’m not even expecting any comments. But, after all, I’m not here to stir up controversy or attract comments, but just to provide commentary on the genre and to make the blog an interesting daily read.
