Each word and every melody of Manmin Praise contain the breath of God and beautify the church members' hearts with the love of the Lord and hope for Heaven.
Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee felt grieved over the current generation when even the praises had become increasingly secularized. He organized the Performing Arts Committee that is made up of performing arts dance teams and singing teams through which has offered up God-pleasing praises.
Just as God gave the Israelites songs so that they would not forget the Law of God and the history of His love (Deuteronomy 31:19, 22), God Himself has also given Manmin Central Church praises for all Manmin members worldwide. It is called 'Manmin Praise'.
The church members including those of the approximately 10,000 branch and associate churches enjoy singing these Manmin Praises in their worship services, fellowship meetings, prayer meetings, and even in their daily lives. Through them, the hearts of the people have been purified and they have achieved the beautiful hearts of goodness God wants. Through the praises the works of thorough repentance have unfolded and people have received the fullness and inspiration of the Spirit.
Manmin Praise is popular even in other countries so many of the praises have been translated into English, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian and are being sung by the people who use their languages. Additionally, some songs have been translated into Spanish, Tagalog (of the Philippines), and Tamil (of India).
Pastor Persiyal Rajadurai of Madurai Manmin Holiness Church in India said, "We have translated Manmin Praise into Tamil and we sing the praises. My church members said they receive grace and emotion in the depths of their hearts and tears well up while praising."
Sister Smika Kumagai, Praise Leader of Ida Manmin Church in Japan stated, "Unlike other gospel songs, just reading the lyrics of Manmin Praise causes us to feel the heart of God the Father, the Lord, and the shepherd. The melodies are also very beautiful and sink into the depths of our hearts. The praises cause our church members to be united as one when we offer up the Spirit-filled praises."
Pastor Dmitry Petrovsky has distributed Manmin Praise throughout the branch churches in Israel. He said he was greatly blessed by the God-given Manmin Praise. He said, "I admire the beautiful melody that I cannot ever imagine though I am a music major. The words are also inexpressibly gracious." Manmin Praise has been sung in many events and crusades in Israel and they've brought great grace and deep inspiration to the attendees.
The praises have been collected and made into five albums: the first one is entitled 'The Heart of the Shepherd'; the second, 'Devotion'; the third, 'Heaven'; the fourth, 'Hope'; and the fifth, 'Space'. A Japanese edition was also produced with the 26 songs taken from selected songs in the five albums.
GCN (www.gcntv.org) also provides GCN viewers with the program hosted by Praise Leader Rose Han, 'We Offer Up Praises'. It offers the ways to sing Manmin Praise well such as the proper mind-set, the voice production method, and the skills of breathing. Another program named 'Fragrance' is hosted by Deaconess Jin Lee who arranges the Manmin praises. The program teaches the viewers the spiritual meaning in the praises, the basics of music theory, and accompaniments.
