Love Song - Welcome Back

[@kipjohnson3621]

My dad used to have this on vinyl, and he listened to a cassette version in the car. I remember hearing it as a kid. And then I started to grow up, and had less and less time for God, and more and more time to resent my dad for stupid, trivial things. And then one day, God touched my heart and brought me back. Now this song has so much meaning to me, and I'm so glad my dad introduced me to it way back when.

Our Church used to have "LOCK--INS." Those were times that started around 10:00 PM...They would gather everybody into the sanctuary... Everyone was supposed to be there inside around ,11:00 PM, because after that they were gonna lock the doors from the outside, and after that time, nobody could get IN,...If you weren't there by 11:00 PM, too bad...!!! We prayed most of the night...It was led by different Pastors...Around 7:00 AM, they would unlock the doors and people could leave on Saturday morning...This was a serious commitment...People didn't fool around in that Church...,Most of us were in our twenties, we were able to stay up all night and pray, so there was no problem...The way the world was going at that time, a lot of us didn't think we would see our thirtieth birthdays... That's why we weren't against praying for such a long time...We were thinking, "Maybe tomorrow I will meet the Lord.".......

Went forward at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in '75. Although having been raised a Boomer Catholic, the kind of Jesus found in the Jesus Movement was immensely compelling.

Today I resolved to spend quiet time with The Lord. Received an unexpected call from on of the volunteers. A true Christian gentleman who offered up encouragement. Then I find this album on youtube.

Brother- don't be so quick to dismiss the contemporary scene of today. The question is whether it ministers to the hearts of the culture listening to it. I'm glad that groups like Love Song set the stage for today.

I loved it then and still listen to it because the music is timeless and ultimately edifying! i soon got a vinyl copy at a Christian book store (i still have it!!!) . Over 20 years ago i graduated to the cd version i bought at another Christian book store. My wife, who was also a Christ-follower in the early 70's, still listens to both of their albums (LOVE SONG< FINAL TOUCH) with me almost daily on the mp3 player connected to our TV. Our kids were also brought up on their music and so many other great musicians, which was what was called Jesus Music back in the 70's. The messege of both their albums (LOVE SONG & FINAL TOUCH) still moves us to this day, because it's the message of the live-changing Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!

@@spozylemkran7672 .. the Bible was written by many anonymous authors over a 1,600 year time frame, spread out over three different continents .. it's been edited and rewritten now available in 113 "versions." .. the original text was based on men sharing their their experiences most of those men possessing marginal intellect, a crude knowledge of science, bleeding superstition and folklore into the stories and all from men raised in a male dominated society .. truth is, No Loving God would allow tens of thousands of innocent children to die of hunger every single day on planet Earth, nor would he have sat by idly and allowed oppressive Nations and big banking cartels to start wars and exterminate people by the Millions on this planet .. that is not impressive work on the Resume` of a Supreme Creator .. if God and Jesus were here to save the world, they should have stepped in hundreds of years ago when the human race was being oppressed by rich people .. with respect for your beliefs and the assumption that your heart is in the right place, I say politely that until you've done more homework on world history and our banking systems, you really shouldn't be guilty of telling other people that there are floating spirits in the sky that will make everything all better. ✌️

While at the University of North Texas, my first girlfriend Serena and I were invited to play Putt Putt Golf with two other couples and we would go to Serena's house to listen to music that had artistic, vocal, instrumental and harmonious value. Serena told me to keep this Chuck Girard Love Song album because she had a new copy that someone gave her for her birthday. I still have that album and I like most all the songs on both sides of this album because the instrumentation and vocals are superb and they convey hope, longing, serenity, appreciation and probably so many spiritual things that go above our ability to comprehend as we all live in a world that continues to unwittingly breed so much hate in so many ways. This is considered the First Christian Rock Band and the first Christian music genre this first album still remains timeless. But I confess that I like it because, when I was a child, I personally met Chuck Girard and his band when they visited and stayed at my friend's big 11 room house (Mansion to me) and they had lots of space for their giant bus and trailer. Other great songs from this album I loved was Tinagera (Sounds so much like The Beach Boys), Little Country Church, Sometimes Aleluia (Second Chapter of Acts are the backup Vocals) and A Love Song. It seems that all of Humanity, from the wealthy class, black and white and in between, any religion or background, becomes "ENSLAVED" to so many material things by the act of possessing. In our current time of 2018, we have so much increased turmoil around the world and it is still magnified by our high-tech communications and social media and this accelerates the divisiveness, polarisation, and mental and spiritual stress. I love science and maths because they are fixed, known (to an empirical degree), and our solutions should easily be made with logic and reason. But it can be frightening knowing how any religion or the practice of religion has become demonised as everyone becomes so cynical, critical, distrusting, angry and determined to destroy them all as Humanity continues to find replacement religions such as American Football, stripe clubs, baseball, basketball, dish antennae or cable, legal recreational drugs (alcohol, tobacco, dip (?), chewing tobacco, beer) or illegal recreational drugs (heroin, meth, cocaine, all types of narcotic pills, marijuana, etc.), and so many DISTRACTIONS like the iPhone. Oh well. Today, all of Humanity (especially Americans) have succumbed to the recent inventions which were created out of NOTHING but intentionally created and designed to ATTRACT and LOCK IN the "Addictive Nature and Habits" of Americans so that they are financially committed each month to pay for that iPad, iPhone, Cable, Satellite, Dish Antennae) and these Americans will unwittingly become impoverished as they will not be able to save for their retirement and shout in disbelief that the time has flown by so fast. Amazing how music has an impact on us all, at least for me it truly does, and especially with powerful and meaningful lyrics that are poetic and that transcend time and elevate us spiritually. I did not mean to go this long in my comments for just announcing the beauty of this artist Chuck Girard but I did get infected with his music when Serena introduced me to his music. Oh well. Back to my job search. It is a pathetic time we live in when all employees for even reputable companies are really just DISPOSABLE employees. But we still have to have faith. Good Shabbos my dear Academes.
