"Pioneer," Honeytree

[@jerrymcbride7256]

Now all of us 70's Jesus People are matured - and I still look to Honeytree as a pioneer who with many others helped us a blaze a trail for Jesus like no other. Praise God.

[@janethanson1793]

Absolutely. What a special move of God in the 70's. I saw Nancy among other much appreciated musicians & speakers at JESUS 75, 76 77 in the fields in Pennsylvania!❤

[@linjicakonikon7666]

Wait, you're serious? I was there in ' 71. Clean cut Christian kids getting the opportunity to be "counter culture" , long hair, church services (with an actual acoustic guitar!! " It only takes a spark..🎶) Far out man. Didn't put a dent in America, just made a bunch of middle class suburban kids feel cool and "Revolutionary". Since then the rich got richer, the poor got poorer, the Jesus Movement vanished, Jesus freaks turning into middle managers all across the country, growing fat and bald. "Farm Out and Right Arm! Peace, Luv, Duv Brother!

[@jennbug5634]

Amen! Truly!

[@buckdancer8131]

You talk about how songs find you! I’m 58 years old, and been a Christian since 1984! Yet, I’m hearing this song for the first time. Timely word for this leg of my journey. Praise God

[@djkr7903]

Nancy, this song was, and still is a prophet guidestone, as we navigate our temporary wilderness. Love and blessing from a brother in Christ Jesus.

[@ianmoir9594]

New pioneers needed for the new frontiers, the new movement, the new wave, till He returns! Bless you Honeytree, I was born again in '71 He has been wonderful , and I'm looking for more, I still hunger and thirst after Him. Thank you Honeytree for being a pioneer, and for sharing your love of Jesus.

[@thelmaswift66]

Spent the day helping an old friend enter eternity with peace, had to come home and find this song to help me after being poured out for family and friends. Among my people, I am that pioneer. They are so, so, so worth every step! I will happily take the lonely road,and the dark nights, if I can help blaze the trail they need to get Home to the Father. Thank you Nancy Honeytree, your music has been in my life for forty years.

[@janethanson1793]

Beautifully expressed. Beautiful heart of our Lord. 💖

[@godschild7643]

Beautiful song, Nancy. I loved you in the 70's and I love you now. Praise God!!!!!

[@x35mmman]

I have been listen to Christian music since 1976 and I cannot believe never heard of this music. Her voice is so calmly what a gift GOD has gifted her

[@MikeMicable]

I Love this song. Thank you Jesus Movement. You were the pioneers to a phenomenal movement that has reached out in our modern age.

[@focusintegrity8490]

too bad she wasn't in the film.

[@manclimbtree3622]

She still has such a beautiful voice! Amazing. Much respect to her.

[@ryetr03]

I used to sing her songs in the hallway to my kids before they went to sleep. That was years ago and now I have grandchildren. Her lyrics still ring true for those of us who seek after the heart of God. It is so refreshing to listen to this friend who inspired me before many were recording Christian Music. Love this!

[@merium401]

Christie Krull me too!

[@davidfleuchaus]

Sweet story. Sweet memory. I’m an old dad but a new dad. One of my daughters loves a sweet song and sings along with heart-felt over-pronunciation. This song just entered our nightly rotation. Thank you.

[@joanneiovine8932]

This calls to mind our pastor and wife So precious

[@jennyjones745]

She has such a lovely, pure voice! 🥰

[@elshaddai87]

Your voice blows me away.......as rich and clear as it was in the 70s with more wisdom and experience!

[@robertmac7833]

One of the sweetest, purest voices God ever blessed us with. I miss the days of the Jesus people with all my heart. It was BEAUTIFUL, then. So much warmth and love and fellowship. I just don’t know what happened.

[@susanrandolph3191]

I'm thankful to have found this beautiful song this morning through Dutch Sheets' Give Him 15 post.

[@ZiggyLu-og3zp]

*_Just discovered this song tonight. I was raised with Folk music and was watching the Love Song reunion that came together in California in the 90’s. I was so inspired and just entered a new season of life and this song so touched me. Such a special song. Thank you Nancy. You blessed me immensely._*

[@DannaGesellchen]

MAN! I haven't heard a Honeytree song in….in…well, I guess it's been 25 years! What a nice surprise to find this song today. Glad you're still around!

[@jholc321]

I love this song. It reminds me of the 70's when I was in college. We will soon be going home and I am so glad. Joyful music is sorely lacking today.

[@johnmorrison7781]

I had one of the "Honeytree" 8 tracks in the mid-70's while a student in college, and a new believer. That voice was so worshipful, gentle and humble then, and praise the Lord, still is today.

[@Lauralee-x4o]

I remember her at a Jesus festival. I met her in my church. Amazing love in Jesus 😊

[@annpierson1611]

Thank-you! Wonderful 70's memories of being encouraged to keep following Jesus.

[@ChristianityExplained]

I discoverred this video via Dutch Sheets. It made a profound impact that he referenced the song and provided a link to this video. I can see why.. Beautiful!

[@trismama1290]

Me too!

[@andreayork9794]

As did I! Beautiful and powerful!

[@ronvaughan9535]

I ALLWAYS LOVED HER MUSIC

[@Yisraela]

Still the most beautiful voice to this day...what a blessing to listen to this song. Thank you Nancy for allowing God to use your talents to spread His Word...

[@terrymcclintock5976]

I’m glad to see new music, I’ve hung onto my “ old Honeytree” music , and it’s gotten me through SO many years since I’ve seen her last . God Bless you!

[@dorothyglover5727]

Wow! How have I missed Honeytree's beautiful voice and music all these years! I was saved and Spirit-filled in 1976 but didn't encounter Honeytree until NOW 45 years later! Awesome music. Thank you.

[@trismama1290]

Thank you Dutch Sheets for showing us this song.

[@saraspangler890]

Beautiful, I was a big fan of Honeytree back in the 70s. I preferred her folk music style to some of the early worship music.

[@umarae27]

Same here!!! I still remember the day I bought my first casette tape & rushed out to the truck to play it. I was so giddy! Her songs always graced my ears. Hummer Bummer Bash mobile still flashes through the out of the blue, especially when driving our clunkers.

[@brendabruno1479]

I love this song! 😭 I love my Father! I’m a pioneer! 💕✝️🙌🏼💖🇺🇸

[@doniaschultz4855]

Thank you Dutch Sheets for including and sharing the link to this song in today's devotional💗💞❣

[@LB330633]

The motto of our lives. It first touched me when I heard Nancy Honeytree sing it at the reunion of the Jesus musicians in 1997 (?). It shook me up. I was crying really. God bless you. You have blessed many 'pioneers' and others with your clear voice and strong encouraging texts. To the honour of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[@victorysellers2792]

In 1998, when I was driving to work, I heard a song on the radio called Pioneer. At the time, the Holy Spirit manifested to me through the song and I was left undone in the car. I had never heard the song before, and I have not heard it again, even once, in the last 23 years. Today Dutch Sheets talked about this song. As I listened to him, my ears perked up because I thought it was probably the same song I had heard in 1998. By the 4 minute mark in the video I was completely undone. And later in the video as well. I posted this similar comment to his rumble.com video. Thank you for sharing this song.

[@wilmavanzandt8151]

Beautiful song 🎵❤😍heard it for the first time today ❤❤❤thank you Jesus 😊🙏☺😘

[@lizrdld]

Honeytree is truly a pioneer and I am so blessed to be a co worker in the harvest with her!

[@harrietkeith2387]

This song still brings me to tears, so many years later. Love you, Nancy!

[@browlingo]

I remember her when I was a teen in the 70's living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. "The Adam's Apple" at Calvary Temple. The group of us teens would sit on the floor with her while she would minister and sing. She had such a sweet beautiful voice and still does. Love this Godly woman.

[@lilycamp1339]

[@cbak1819]

I bought a CD with this song on it at a gathering last weekend. I'm going to give it to my home bound Mother... She used to listen to it back in the 70"s when I was a child. She remembered how sweet it was.. I pray it opens up her sheltered heart and has a good cry, remembering she is a pioneer, Blessings Nancy.. Looking forward to next year at RiverSpring Chapel and Lodge.

[@debbiewilson9712]

The great old days of Christian radio, nothing like this song left.

[@mwngw]

If you were SoCal in those days, KYMS and KBRT were the stations to find Christian music and teaching.

[@timchester3690]

I've enjoyed Nancy Honey tree since the 1980s and still do Also remember Mylon LeFevre

[@sherrynickols7209]

Nancy Honeytree has such a pure voice and a heart totally in love with Jesus and her songs reflect it!!! Love her and her music!!! This song especially has deep meaning to Mike and I!

[@elizabethbrody1125]

Beautiful song and lyrics.

[@cherylhorton3817]

Thank you for bringing your music of the 70’s to the ears of those today. Please make “Little Things” over. It is my favorite song of yours. God Bless you and your music.

[@erichanson3961]

Takes me back and reminds me to keep going! I was in various Jesus Music bands in the seventies and the message is still needed and true! -While we have breath, let's continue on pioneers with the message of the Savior Jesus Christ.

[@jeanstuart-findlay2200]

Thank you for your encouraging song for sending all of us forward to be the Lord's faithful followers! These words are especially needed now in . Our lives! :) ♡ :) Jean Stuart-Findlay :)

[@markpettigrew3482]

When I was a student at School of The Ozarks (now College of The Ozarks, although it was a 4 year college even then), I promoted 2 CCM concerts: Nancy Honeytree (Henigbaum) and the Sweet Comfort Band. The latter group was funkier, but Nancy was sweeter. I still remember the sisterly hug she gave me. I believe that she later got married. The man who married her was a blessed man.

[@ZiggyLu-og3zp]

Mark Pettigrew That is a really really precious thing to share. Yes what a pioneer of spirit she was and still is. Her song touched me for the very first time this year as I was just a babe when it originally came out. But today personally this song could not come for a better time.

[@jesuslovesher3632]

Just discovered this--and Honeytree--during Covid. Also watched her Cornerstone concert. Amazing woman. Amazing song. Amazing devoted love for Christ. Can't stop listening to it. It totally wrecks me every time. To Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, be all the Glory!!!

[@757Church]

Jesus was a pioneer to bring heaven to earth and to bring us to heaven! Now we get to follow His example and be a pioneer to seek others like he did.

[@biggerbrother7]

Thank you for this song. We are pioneers in Japan, 30 years. And the meaning hits home. blessings

[@1984bornagain]

YES!, It's a perfect time to share this anew with the world. A truly anointed composition.

[@bigvrocks2480]

Nancy, I happened to go to ILLOS Music store, not the Main Street location, but their other store, in the early 90's (93 /94?) accompanying my friend Micki who knew the owner. When we got there, it turned out it was a private party for your birthday. We were invited to stay. At the party you performed for 30 or more minutes (You sound man at the time made your guitar and vocals sound like Led Zeppelin lll - just amazing. I even told him.) Never the less, you offered a cassette to whomever guessed one of your oldest songs and I won with "I Don't Have To Worry" because the Christian Group I was in in the mid 70's played that. I also saw you at one of the late 70's Creation Festivals. That being said, I was going through a bad divorce at the time and had two beautiful little (6 & 3) daughters then. The Pioneer cassette became the background for my daughters going to sleep most nights. At times, it touched my heart to hear them sing lyrics at time when they stayed with me occasionally. Estranged for over 20 years from them, and as we are attempting 'reconciliation', my older one sent me this link. I've cried many times over my girls and while listening to this album. It has blessed my Spirit and kept me going on for all these years. God Bless You and Thank you...... Jim

[@jerrymcbride7256]

John Blake - it's been some time since the 70's Jesus People Movement - all unknowing pioneers we were. Rekindles a LOT of happy memories for me too, and yes, Jesus has always been more than faithful to me over the years. God bless you

[@sharenstennett8443]

[@ljl8764]

I just heard this song for the 1st time last weekend on the radio. I felt it was a gift from the Lord. It speaks to my life so distinctly, I just cried at the tender loving message it. The deeper touch was it being a song from the Jesus movement time. I was dedicated to the Lord in a beach church where our pastor was in the Jesus movement and had revival. I have felt my whole walk has been seeking the wildfire that once burned bright and brought people to a radical saving knowledge of Jesus. Not, "church club" churches but churches who honor our dear Holy Spirit and are not ashamed of His work in man's life. Be exalted Jesus!

[@davidtoddsingleton]

honeytree, your voice is just as pure as that first day you recorded. We saw you at Jesus 78/79/80 out in Oregon along with Amy Grant, Keith Green, 2nd Chapter of Acts. I am a singer and writer as well by now and ended up writing 'Baby Baby' for Amy. Thank you for you heart and your music. I would love to write and work out something with you in a dream of mine.

[@Retroboxmedia]

"Baby, Baby" by Amy Grant was written by Keith Thomas and Amy Grant. Not sure why you are falsely claiming you wrote it.

[@wesbroussard7659]

Lyrics are so honest and very true. Those who follow will be infinitely greater for the accomplishments and conquered territories of the pioneers. The road untraveled is so hard and paving it is so hard; yet, we must. An uncharted path lays before us - it's calling us and we must push through.
