Back in the 70\u2032s, when I was a temporary resident in South Africa, I bought lot of The Bill Gaither Trio records, and they were a great blessing to me. The other day somebody spoke to me and said my site was not just about favorite love songs, so I explained that some songs are about love for trucks, or animals, or God, etc. These folks sing a lot about their love for Jesus.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0The King is coming<\/a><\/p>\n I first heard this song in the 70\u2032s when it was sung in the Roodepoort City Hall, by an American preacher. The people all stood up and started praising the Lord. It felt so exciting. After that I bought Gaither records, and sang that song all over Southern Africa. I saw a car sticker once that said: \u201cJesus is coming soon, look busy.\u201d<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Because He lives<\/a><\/p>\n I loved this song too, and I remember singing it at a home for unwed mothers in Bulawayo. One girl ran out of the room crying. I loved doing the talking part that Gloria did. In 1979 the song took on further meaning when we were in the empty garden tomb in Jerusalem. We had a tremendous praise meeting in there. When we came out, all the people waiting in line looked at us with big eyes. I thought of them again when we were \u201cIn the upper room\u201d but I can\u2019t find their version on the net. Also when we saw Golgotha, the song: \u201cI\u2019ve been to Calvary.\u201d<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0The Church Trimphant<\/a><\/p>\n This song was also a great blessing to me, and I also did the talking part. \u201cGod has always had a people, who could not be bought, murdered, flattered or stilled.\u201d \u201cThe purest stream is the one that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight, after it has fought it\u2019s way through solid rock.\u201d So many words were such a great blessing.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0Jesus \u2013 something about that Name<\/a><\/p>\n I loved the talking parts done by Gloria. There was always such a blessing in the way she spoke.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0Something good<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI have noticed in the paper all the bad news.\u201d The songs are still relevant today! The gospel is the Good News.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0The longer I serve Him<\/a><\/p>\n Last week when I was looking on the net for songs, this song was such a blessing to me, and has kept running through my mind this past week. So many of their songs have been such a great blessing to me. When we were in Cape Town two songs kept running through my mind: \u201cSomething about a mountain\u201d and \u201cA little bit of sunshine.\u201d<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0The old rugged cross made the difference<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cT\u2019was a life filled with aimless desperation.\u201d<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0This is the time I must sing<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks Gaithers for all your nice singing. At one time when I was singing in the Cape Town area, I got a whole lot of The Bill Gaither \u00a0Trio records from a distributor, and they sold like hot cakes at the meetings.<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0I could never outlove the Lord<\/a><\/p>\n The words of their songs have so much meaning. \u201cThere were times when giving and loving brought pain.\u201d<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0You\u2019re something special<\/a><\/p>\n Everyone is special. The devil wants you to fell worthless, but he is a liar.<\/p>\n 11.\u00a0I am a promise<\/a><\/p>\n Here is another children’s song that is good.<\/p>\n I also have an all gospel site where I will upload more of their songs. It is called Country Gospel and Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in the 70\u2032s, when I was a temporary resident in South Africa, I bought lot of The Bill Gaither Trio records, and they were a great blessing to me.
