Re: What do you believe?!?! Wowii
Every single website I check for the lyrics to 'Awesome God' by Rich Mullins, I find the song credited to a writer named Vernard Johnson. Can anyone explain this?

I'm not actually posting on the musical greatness of the song or the composer (was Handel a catholic? Regardless, he made genuinely 'great' music). I am just pointing out the apostles' creed, so called, isn't, but is an artifact of the roman catholic church. and a core part of their initiation rites.

That's okay, I'm not really commenting on the "apostle's creed", I just like the song.
And Metallica never made any good music. Then again, I'm biased against anything that's not Christian music (and very picky about that definition, as well).

Thus, we see that 'great music' is subjective. By the way, 'great' can be good. 'Great' can also be bad.
I saw the Vernard Johnson or whatever his name was on numerous lyrics sites, including google play, allmusic, lyrics.net, and several other lyrics sites. Google 'awesome god vernard johnson'.
Just a bit confusing. I hear Vernard Johnson is one of the 'all time greatest black gospel saxophone musicians of all time'. I also read an obituary for a Vernard Johnson who was a faithful white Mormon elder???? And his name shows up as th 'writer' for Awesome God???
Weird.

Probably more than one gospel song titled "Awesome God" I would imagine.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
