Very nicely done, Vasile. I like the tune and that's a cool effect you have
going there.

Hello all,
The audio of me trying to sing the medley can be found at
http://www.letsreadgreek.com/songs/namesofjesus/namesofjesus_vocal.mp3.
(caviat emptor)!
A question:
Does ὁ μεθ' ἡμῶν θεός O MEQ HMWN QEOS mean the same as μεθ' ἡμῶν ὁ θεός MEQ'
HMWN O QEOS ? (a translation of the Hebrew I'mmanu El) The with-us God versus
God is with us? Is there really any difference?
The use of the indefinite article is one of the last things that the learner of
English learns. I think the use of the article (and it's nuances) is one of the
last things a student of Greek masters, I think. Most of the little nuances go
over the heads of those who read Greek daily, until someone points it out to
them.
Anyone who is not Greek will constantly project the structure of their native
language upon any composition. The only solution (methinks) is to read Greek
voraciously. Perhaps someone has some great ideas on how to master the Greek
article?

Hello all,
As some may know, I use songs to help me learn Greek. I've created a translation
of some of the modern praise songs about the Names of Jesus songs and have woven
them into a medley. There is no audio as of yet, but if you want to give a try,
I'd love it hear someone other than me sing it. The four songs are all chained
together. They are
Jesus Name above All
Names, Naida Hearn, 1974, CCLI 21291
Emmanuel, Bob McGee, 1976 CCLI 12949
Jesus Messiah, Chris Tomlin et al., 2008 CCLI 9183443
How Majestic is Your Name, Michael W. Smith, 1981 CCLI 26007
Most beginning grammars I know of don't put the names of Jesus all in one place
- but many songs do. You can find the songfold at
www.letsreadgreek.com/songs/namesofjesus/NamesofJesusSongfold.pdf
As always, the songfold has the Koine Greek translation, English official text,
English back-translation of the Greek, vocabulary, Scripture citations, and
Grammar pointers. It's designed to be printed on legal size paper (8.5 inches by
14), folded and carried with you.
Give it a try. There is no complicated grammar -- it's like reading the Linear B
tablets. Pretty straightforward once you get it -- kind of a laundry list.
