Comparing the lyrics by two Gospel artist, both in different eras, it can be seen that today’s Gospel (Marvin Sapp) caters more toward shaming the devil. Today’s Gospel focuses on the woes people face and the struggle that many go through to keep their faith. Today’s Gospel serves more as a reminder to remember God and all that he has done for the individual and has a message to change a non-believer into a believer, caters to the weak spirited. The earlier form of Gospel (Mahalia Jackson) already assumes that everyone in the church has a strong relationship with God and focuses on prevailing the church. Older Gospel does not touch on individual struggle but the unifying the church as a whole to serve God. Also, another difference in Gospel music is that older Gospel praises God more, while today’s music has praise on Jesus more.
