5. Jasper Street Company - God Helps Those (Who Help Themselves) (1999)
Jasper Street Company are
the premier gospel-oriented house music group and this track is a prime example of why. Featuring a subtle but very funky bassline, a pounding beat, a wonderful chirpy piano riff and a plethora of gospel voices - including that of an ensemble choir -
God Helps Those (Who Help Themselves) exemplifies everything good in gospel-oriented house music. The message here is that good things come to those who actively try to make a difference.
Sample lyrics:God helps those who help themselves, don't you want to help yourself? I know he can, I know he will
