1: Lagu Rohani Kristen Indonesia


I like to listen to Lagu Rohani Kristen Indonesia, especially those sung by singers like Meriam Bellina and Connie Maria Mamahit. They have melodious voices and they sing with conviction. These are adult singers who are featured on YouTube.

For a sample of their songs, go to "Datanglah pada Yesus" by Connie, and "Indah recanaMu Tuhan" by Meriam. One plus point about their videos is that they have lyrics which you can follow!

Here's another inspiring song "Kumau cinta Yesus selamanya" by Nonaharia. The members of PMC Persahabatan Peranakan-Indonesia love it!


For a youthful voice, I go for Nikita's renditions, for example: "Bapa Engkau sungguh baik".

If you prefer male vocalists, try "Aku percaya" ("I believe") sung by Terry Tisna. The rendition has an attractively vibrant beat accompanying the singer.
Listen to Frankie Sihombing sing "Bapa yang kekal"
and you'll be humming the tune for the next few days.
Or hear Jeffry S Tjandra sing "Allah mengerti Allah peduli".
He has, what I would call, a mellifluous voice, easy to the ears, yet firm enough to bring the message home.
Here's a good one: "Tuhan penolongku"
("God is my helper")
sung by a Male Quartet with interesting outdoor scenes - certainly a "must-see" video!
Here's another by the Male Quartet with a good resounding intro from a clarinet:
"Dimata Tuhan semua sama".


Yes, view these videos at YouTube. You'll feel inspired and begin to sing along with them. I do. But if you don't understand some of the lyrics, you can always go to an online dictionary such as http://www.mykamus.my/ for a Malay-English translation.

Enjoy!
