Songs from my Past

My Pastor loves to quote old songs from the past during his sermons or during his teaching times. I remember times he has quoted songs like "Lord I'm a Rambling Man" by the Almond Brothers (or was it the doobie brothers?), "You are so Vain" by Carly Simon and even the Rolling Stones song, " I can't get no Satisfaction" (LOVE THE DOUBLE NEGATIVE!). I am always amused how people respond to him when he does this. Sad thing is there has not been a song yet like these that was new to me. A matter of fact I tell him often when a song is mentioned I keep singing it in my mind long after he has made his point with the lyrics of it. I know this is not a good thing!To me this illustrates what a powerful medium music can be.

Today at Men's Leadership meeting Pastor Ken used a song that came out in the late 70's by a Christian singer by the name of Dallas Holm. He quoted one of his songs to illustrate a wrong concept of salvation and heaven. As soon as he started quoting it (not singing it) the tune imediatly came to my mind and the song started playing in my head automaticly, even though I can not remember hearing the song for over 25 years. I could even heard another version of the song I believe B.J. Thomas recorded.
Well tonight I looked for the song on Youtube but could not find it. I was going to email it to Pastor as a joke. But while looking for it I ran into some other songs by Dallas Holm during this same period of time. So I posted the one that I used to listen to over and over again while driving around in my triple black cutlass Supreme. I still think this song packs a powerful message about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, even though His name is never mentioned in the song. Hopefully this song will be in my mind tonight as I go to sleep instead of the other one! Good Night and Lord Bless.
