“Have” & “Hold” Songs, Vol. 1

Here begins another 4-part series, this one featuring songs with "Have" & "Hold" in their titles. Inspired by the classic marriage vows, I suppose. As you can probably imagine, songs with these words in the titles are legion. So I limited myself to only those where "Have" or "Hold" was the first word in the title. And it's STILL a 4-parter! The good thing about having lots of songs to choose from is that the songs that make the cut are generally higher in quality than when I do a smaller post of songs with a rather obscure word in the title. In other words, there're probably going to be a lot of songs you'll like. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs About Believers

I hadn’t planned on a follow-up post to yesterday’s Songs About Heathens – it just sort of came about naturally. For what it’s worth, I found twice as many good “Believer” songs as “Heathen” ones. And one group here had two hit songs with that word in their titles. Go figure! Enjoy!  ~  JH
