This song takes me back to far more innocent days in my upbringing where the clouds of change were far away and I was happy to accept what I was told about the world, church, gospel and the like. Never questioning (too often) merely going with the flow. This kind of song represents for me […]
Read More Jesus He’s My King – VIP Mass Choir feat. JPK & Shawn McLemoreMy life’s story can be simplified. I was drifting without hope. Jesus was made known to me and invited me to understand who He was and find the source of hope. I took Him up on the invitation and from there even in the darkest days of my life He has sustained me with that […]
Read More Jesus Is The Best Thing – Russ TaffAs a choral exercise it doesn’t come much better than this track that is featured on the John P Kee VIP project from way back when. The sentiment is simple the focus is clear and although I’m not sure anymore whether we should have the ‘come into His presence’ mentality that suggests we were not […]
Read More Let Us Praise And Worship Him – VIP Mass ChoirMeditating is something we all to some extent. In fact you’ll know when you’re doing it because someone has to snap you out of it when your mind is just on something. If you put your mind to it there’s every chance that when you meditate on something it will have a bearing on how […]
Read More Jesus (Oh How I Love To Call) – Perfected Praise Choir featuring Marvin WinansFirst 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. MossIt’s the early 1990’s, possibly even the very late 1980’s, but if it is that late, they can’t get in and we’ll have to leave it at the early 1990’s. At the time I was being very conscious of the music played by my sister and my mother. I remember seeing the album cover of […]
Read More Waymaker – Tramaine HawkinsThere are a number of versions of this song doing the rounds going from efforts like this to more solo black-gospel style versions. It’s not uncommon to hear this sung in crusades and large meetings from tele-evangelists, etc. (I’ll leave that to you to decipher if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is […]
Read More Oh The Glory Of Your PresenceThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
Read More This Is The Time – Terry MacAlmonI forget. I have to acknowledge that. Due to that independent aspect of my character that needs to have all the answers and be the top dog, it’s not as yet automatic to remember, but there are reminders like this. The issue I forget is that the scripture informs me that that greater is He […]
Read More Greater Is He In Me – The Crabb FamilySometimes I tend to forget, so it’s always good to have a reminder of exactly who I’m serving. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
