The Oslo Gospel Choir is conducted by Tore Aas, who compose most of the songs. The group's repertoire also includes traditional American gospel songs.
The people singing in the choir comes from various churches in Oslo. Apart from giving performances in Norway we are making a name for ourselves internationally. We have made a fair number of television appearances. The choir's goal is always the same: to preach the Gospel through music. Our style of music could be compared to black American gospel music. According to Tore Aas the music genre "will never be out of fashion. With its impulsive, dynamic and lively style we can easily compare it to classical music's timelessness. This style of music appeals to many people all over the world".
Get Together
Oslo Gospel Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
When I get weary,
and times are bad,
and i fell I´ve lost the joy that I once had.
gotta share my load with the brothers in the Lord.
Gonna lift my head up
up toward the sky,
gonna praise the Lord until the day I die.
Cause He saves me
and set me free,
from the doubt nd fear that used to torture me.
When I am lonely,
when I am blue,
then I know for sure just what I´ve gotta do.
I´m a branch onthe live tree,
gotta go, they´ll all be waiting just for me.
When i am crying
when I´m in pain,
when disese may try on bind me up in chains.
I´ll be supported,
we´re family, all my brothers in the Lord will stand by me.
Gonna shout and sing,
when times are good,
gonna show appreciation like i should.
He´s the reason,
and He´s the goal.
He´s the one and only keeper of my soul.
If you feel shaky, and displaced,
and you feel that you´re a failure and waste,
in God you´re perfect, a precious stone,
open up your heart and you won´t be alone.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
get together, get together, get together, in the name of the Lord.
