Funny but for whatever reason, I can't stop singing Walking In Integrity from the old songbook! It's in my head and in my opinion it was one of the few songs I really liked.
Ditto. Same exact song. I think it was played during my baptism. Nowadays I equate it with my leaving the organization out of a sense of integrity.
When I first saw a songbook, I was looking thru it for songs like "amazing grace" or "bringing in the sheaves" which most all major religions have in their songbook, but when I didn't find anything familiar, I knew something was not quite rite here. I should have got up and run at that point...

And I thought umm
Maybe you should try again,
Lol
My favorite song was the one at the end of the meeting
Ha! funny but true nowwhat? I remember from the purple/magenta songbook No 19 was written by a Hawaiian brother and you could her the "hula" part in the song, I was a kid then as some of my friends in the Cong were at the time and when we sang that song some of us kids used to do the hula until we got smacked by our mothers !!
Paradise Present and Future, the "Hawaiian" effect was caused by moving
(sliding) chords as would be played by a Pedal Steel Guitar ubiquitous to
County Music,
A Hawaiian invention,
