I am prone to wander. Such is the state of who I am at times that I get sidetracked from the main purpose of living. So hearing songs like this remind me that I am in a loving relationship with the Creator of the universe who has made it His point of duty to shape […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Uphold Me – Rance Allen & Various ArtistsI was sent this email from someone to whom I’ve subscribed. I watched it and perked up at the statement Donnie makes, Don’t be a slave to your gift, don’t be a slave to your ability. Slavery and freedom are themes very close to my heart. I am never far away from acknowledging my frailties […]
Read More Identity In Christ-like CharacterI could have put this in The Other Place, but when you add a number of factors it fits this place better. Stevie is a much admired contributor to the music scene over the last 40 plus years – almost the entire lifetime of Donnie himself. So it’s fitting that the brother who is not […]
Read More CD Songs: Donnie Sings StevieYep, might as well make the most of the roll that we’re on with this tribute business – it’s quality music, it’s gospel music, it’s what I love and I would only share with you what I love. I’m that kind of friend. (See what I did there?? Well you would if you were into […]
Read More Walter Hawkins Tribute – MarvellousHere is a veritable feast of gospel ‘stars’ assisting Donnie with a song that’s familiar to one or two people. Name those ‘stars’. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Great Is Your Mercy – Donnie McClurkin and GuestsJust heard the news that Walter Hawkins died on Sunday. Huge loss, brilliant singer and songwriting. Worth hearing this tribute to him by Vickie Winans as well. Still they maybe gone but their legacy outlasts him and hope to sing songs to the Saviour together at His return. Thank you Lord for all you did […]
Read More Thank You Lord For Walter HawkinsFirst it’s good to hear someone who is an accomplished songwriter in his own right have a go at someone else’s masterpiece. That’s something that I like about the gospel field that there is (or should be) a great enjoyment of doing other people’s material, because there’s an appreciation that whatever connects people with God […]
Read More Vocal Masterclass – Marvin Winans feat. Donnie McClurkin & J. MossI like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?With my departure from the StokeCOGblog there’s been the necessary shifting of gospel music blog posts from there to here. That’s a good thing, because this is a personal site so the entries reflect me personal preference. Also the reality of my upbringing and the way I am is that music plays a crucial part […]
