DeGarmo & Key - Wayfaring Stranger (lyrics)

[@chrisgreen67]

Such a perfect song. This may be my favorite discovery from following your channel -- and I'm not even into CCM.

I was a board operator at the fist K LOVE FM radio station in Santa Rosa California 1982 to 1986. I played this song during my shift on the radio many times, it's one of my favorites. Little did I know that K LOVE would go nation and world wide after starting out as a small 300 watt radio station.

Brilliant! back in the day i would consume this album. DeGarmo & Key, Paul Clark, Sweet Comfort Band, Phil Keaggy, Daniel Amos, Joe English, Sonlight, Chuck Girard & Love Song, Erick Nelson. Just to name a few. I miss those days. Good times for sure.

I used to be a partner in a Christian rock band in the early ‘80s and this was one of my favorites!!!

When DeGarmo and Key first came out, they had a strong progressive rock streak within them. They used keyboards including synthesizers very effectively! That’s what drew me into them. At the time, I did not appreciate this particular song very well, but now that I’m much older… this song is great!

Outstanding! I had no idea they had such a great sound before the pop days. Great groove!

This studio version recording seemed to set just the right mood and expressive feel for this traditional song, topped off with some very tasteful instrumental breaks. D&K definitely made this song their own with a soulful progressive blues rock style. It's one of my favorite D&K songs! With Dana Key's passing and from the lyrical context of the song, I can totally imagine Dana now being at home in that good and bright land, checking out that crown of glory! :)

In season 6 episode 4 of The Andy Griffith Show, Andy briefly plays and whistles this song.

This is a test to see if my wireless keyboard is working. I spilled orange juice on it and it was all sticky and didn't work for the longest time. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Hmmm...seems to be working.

This is banal.
