Starting With 3

UPDATE (MARCH 23, 2010) - Due to the Website that I was using to post music not working anymore, I am trying to update all the songs using YouTube...this will take some time..but hang in there...I was able to upload one song from this post "I'm Forgiven" click on the link in the post and it will take you to the song....thanks.

So I finally found a way to share great Classic Christian Music with you (who ever you are). It's an app. that some of the bloggers on this website turned me to, so thank you to them. I now have the ability to upload music and create playlists so that I can start sharing with you great Christian Classics. I am not sure right now how many songs I will share with you from post to post but for today let's start off with 3 great songs. You will actually have to read this week's post in its entirety before you get to the songs (unless you cheat and scroll to the end of this post).

The first song you will find on the play list is Trust in God a song from the Allies album Long Way From Paradise. I could have picked almost any song from this Album because to me they are all great (in future posts I will share some of their other songs from this Album). This was Allies fourth album which was released back in 89. Bob Carlisle who is better known for his song Butterfly Kisses is doing the vocals, he definitely had the voice that made this Christian Rock group stand out. Anyway, this song Trust in God was not only relevant during the early 90's but it is still relevant today. Trusting in God is the basic element of our Faith, if we can't Trust in God then how can we receive and or accept His forgiveness, His love and His blessings. We are to Trust in God in the morning, and in the evening, we are to Trust in God through the easy times and the difficult times. As Christians if we don't Trust in God how can we expect those who are not saved to Trust in Him. Ok enough "preaching" this particular song is more of a fast ballad than it is a fast paced rock song, I wanted to start you off nice and easy before we go full throttle!!

The second song comes from one of my all time favorite solo Christian singers, Bryan Duncan. He (Duncan) came onto the Christian Music scene as the lead singer for what I consider to be the best Christian Band of all time: Sweet Comfort Band, after the SCB disbanding Bryan went on to have (to this day) a great Solo career, he has received many Christian Music awards and even a Grammy. I will definitely be sharing with you many of his songs. The song I will share with you today is off his Holly Rollin' Album, if you were to buy this Album today you would have to pay a hefty price because this particular album is considered to be a collector's item. All of the songs in this album could've been #1's and no I won't be saying that about all songs I share with you. But, truly this is a phenomenal Album, lyrically and musically! This album came out in '86 and I really believe that if this album was to be re-released to the market today, it would top Christian Music charts!! Ok, so about the song, the song is titled: Remember Me and it is written from the perspective of the 2nd thieve that was crucified next to our Lord Jesus on Calvary. Listening to this song now a days has a much bigger significance to me than what it did back in the '80s as I was still very new in the faith. We had a preacher come to our Church last month that preached a Sermon on the 3 men who died in the Orchard of Calvary he preached that on that day one man died a Sinner, one man died a Saviour and because He did one man died a Saint, one man died in Sin, one man died for Sin and because He did one man died to Sin! Wow!! As I listen to this song I cant help but to think that we all have choices in our lives, some choose to die as sinners, and yet some of us choose to die to sin. Have you ever really taking the time to think about what our Lord did for us? How can we not be in awe of the great love that He has for us. Part of the lyrics of this song goes: "You're the King of a Nation, You're the Chosen One and You're hanging here with me to die" Our Savior, God's only Son, perfect in every way, who was without Sin took upon His shoulders the weight of the world's sin and died so that we can make that choice to die in sin or die to sin! Remember Me is a song that will make you reflect on the price our Lord payed for our sins.

Ok, on to the 3rd and last song for this blog. This last song comes from the group The Imperials, this band released their first album way back in 1964 and their last recorded album was released in 2006, the band had many a great talents that went on to have good solo careers to name two: Russ Taff and Paul Smith of which I will definitely be sharing some of their songs with you in the future. This group has so many albums that I would had never been able to acquire the entire collection, as it is to this date I have none of their albums but have been lucky enough to gather a few of their songs for my collection. This particular song has Russ Taff as lead vocals. It's a very catchy tune. Listen to this song and try not to move your feet or not move to the rhythm of it...you wont be able to, especially if you take a good listen to the lyrics! The title of this song is I'm Forgiven, and we most certainly have been forgiven, as part of the lyrics say: "I'm Forgiven, now I have a reason for living" Enjoy the salvation you have in Christ because He forgave your sins!! I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do, until next time! Click on the Link: I'm Forgiven
