Gospel music rally 2015 lights up Namirembe

By Norman Katende

The traditional Anglican Church hymns were replaced by the hip hop, reggae and zouk music as the congregants at St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe joined the different choirs and musicians to worship and praise the Lord at the 2015 Gospel Music Rally(GMR) on Sunday evening.

In the 8th edition of the annual show, musicians and groups put up their best songs, as they ministered God’s word to the capacity congregation that had turned up to glorify the Lord.

From the individual musicians to the GMR Toto’s band, that received the standing ovation as they swore about what the Lord had done in their lives through music.

“We have come from far. From a 10 minutes meeting eight years back to a three hour praise and worship attracting different choirs and musicians and having an enormous crowd.

We want to even make it better next year,” said Edward Ssendi at the annual concert, which is aimed at using music to reach out to the people.

It was climaxed by the GMR lead team that played a series of song before including: “I am safe in his hands,” a combination of reggae and zouk beat, joined by the congregation in praising the Lord.

By the end of the day, it was a Sunday well spent.
