Back in the day this was one of the first songs used by what the older people called the “hippie Jesus freak” movement. As the younger generation sought a way to express their beliefs outside of the mainstream culture this is what they used. They had the faith but wanted to express it in their own way. If you haven’t already heard it another of the early songs was done by Brewer and Shipley called “One Toke Over The Line.” On a different note I once saw a special on tv about the Doobies as they were called that showed everyone who’d been involved up until then with the music of the band. If I remember correctly at that time which was about fifteen years of the band performing they had around seventy people that had come and gone with some being there multiple times as their careers allowed.
