Dance!!!

The bible says in 2 Samuel 6:14 - David...danced before the Lord with all his might. 

  When was the last time you danced before your Lord??  What??  You say you don't have reason for dancing??  Well, I will disagree with you.  Dancing is viewed as a form of expression.  Dancing can be used to express emotions, and if you have been washed with the blood of Jesus then you definitely have reason to express your emotion of gratitude and of happiness by dancing for your Savior!! 

  The song for this blog comes from a female vocalist by the name of Kim Boyce, a former Miss Florida and a semi-finalist in 1984's Miss American Pageant, Kim began her Christian singing career in 1985 and she was known as the queen of Christian Pop music in the 80's. 

  She recorded 8 albums with one of them being in spanish.  From the 7 albums, she achieved 11 number one songs.  Her 1987 production "Love is You to me" is where we get the song for this post.  "Dancin' My Heart Away" is a very upbeat song,  and if you found yourself tapping your feet to our last post's song then this will for sure will make you get up and dance for your Lord! 

  Celebrate your salvation, celebrate your eternal life with the Creator of all, Celebrate Jesus!!  Go ahead dance your heart away!  Enjoy:

R U Satisfied

Have you tried about everything this world has to offer to only find yourself not being satisfied???  Well, the song for this post will speak on the issue of being satisfied.  
If you are familiar with Christian Music you have probably heard of the quartet the Imperials, a group that had a big influence in the Christian Music scene for many years.   Besides being a great music group it also served as a launching pad for solo careers for a few of its members, with the most famous one being Russ Taff.  But on this post I will be sharing a song from a former member of the Imperials by the name of Paul Smith, he joined the Imperials after Russ Taff left the quartet and Paul's influence in the group led the Imperials to some great albums.  Paul left the Imperials to pursue a solo career, one that produced 5 albums, of his 5 albums I picked a song from his 1989 album: Back to Who I Am which was his 3rd production.  This song talks about how a person can be completely satisfied by allowing Jesus into their life.  The world will try to get you to buy into all it offers in order to bring you satisfaction, but trust me anything the world has to offer is temporary and empty, what Jesus offers you will bring about a secure feeling and knowledge of satisfication.  With its "pop vibe" this song will have you singing the chorus "So satisfied with Jesus in my life".  Enjoy the song by clicking on the link:So Satisfied

Always Sunday

It has been quite a few months since my last posting.  Between the website Imeem taking away the ease of posting music on here and dealing with me feeling sorry for myself because I was not getting any feedback from anyone beside my wife (Thank You Love for doing that!) I made the decision to stop posting.  You know a Godly wife is such a big blessing in a man's life, and I have to thank her for helping me get back on here.  So, if it is just me posting on this blog so that my wife can learn and hear of new music then that is ok with me. 

I started this Blog to share Christian Music from the era of when I became a Christian, music that really helped me grow and music that I could identify with.  There was a point of my life where I took a big and long detour from the road God had set for me, but I am so grateful for His Love and Mercy and for not ever giving up on me.  I am back on track and the music from that era has helped me stay on the straight and narrow.  

 So, that brings me to the song for this posting...."Sunday's on the Way" from Carman's 1983 album with the same title.  If you know of Carman you know that most of his songs have this theatrical feeling to them, like you can see these songs come alive as he is singing them.  I love this particular song because of how he uses our Lord's resurrection to paint a picture we can easily see in our mind's eye.  I am sure that in your walk with the Lord, there are some days when you feel like giving up, or maybe even taking a detour.  God never promised us an easy road.  We all have moment of low tides, but as Christians we can never forget that we have victory assured.  Sunday is on the way...as yo may be aware our Lord and Savior was crucified on a Friday, and to some it may have seemed like it was all over.....but the story did not end there...when Sunday came around victory over death belonged to our Lord!  Victory over your "Friday" is assured..Your Sunday is today, tomorrow and for as long as you want to claim it!  Enjoy this song!

SOLO

 UPDATE: 23 MARCH 2010 - Link is good.


Are you the type of person who starts something to then just put it aside and leave it until you are ready to pick it up again???   Well this short post will bring you a song that talks about that subject.  The Artist that I will be sharing with you, is one who used to sing in a very famous Christian Band until he went on to a Solo career.  There have been occasions where a Christian Artist has had a bigger singing career as a soloist than when they belonged to a band.  Recent case being TobyMac (from the former DC Talk).  Truth is there are quite a few Christian Artists that have branched out on their own, but today we will focus on just one of them. 


  I am talking about former lead vocals to the band Petra - Greg X. Volz.  Greg parted ways with Petra back in 1985 to spend more time with his family and to pursue a Solo career.  He went on to record over 9 albums, his debut solo album (The River is Rising - 1986) is considered to be his best work ever!  Although I am not sharing a song from that album with you today, I am sharing with you a song from his second Solo release (I Come Out Fighting - 1988). The title of this song is Back Burner.  Click on the link to listen to the song: Back Burner
