Strange request... "He's so real to me!"

Sometimes I think we get so caught up in all the "new" stuff that is coming around and think that we have to keep up with the other churches and what they are doing that we lose some great stuff.

Some of these new songs drive me crazy.... but that's for another day .... I won't get on that soapbox now.

Of course, there was a time when the old songs were new.

I agree, though, that some of these new songs are really bad - like the one where the woman is singing about being ravished by the Holy Spirit (or Jesus, or God, I don't remember which). And, no, these are not the days of Elijah or David or Moses.

There's really a song that says that? WIERD!

Here are the words.......


He's So Real To Me

There are those who say Jesus never lived
And that heaven is somebody's dream
But I just called out His name on my knees
And I heard Someone answer my pleas.

We've crossed too many mountains together
And walked through the of valleys of life
To some I know Jesus might not be
But He's so real to me!

Many times when I'm burdened
He's a Friend so dear
When I'm lonely He's always near
I can't deny Him for I love Him you see
For Jesus is so real to me!

Thats an old Pierce song. Oldie but goodie.

Now We are gettin' old..

Could you hand me my teeth???

We found an old electric typewriter in the back of my closet. My 12 year old was entranced by it. He thought it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. "You mean you type on keys like that and it prints right out on the paper? How do you put pictures in your report? You mean they really had ones before this that you didn't even have to plug in?? And electric is BETTER?" I was about ROFL by the time he got done! He called in all his buds from the neighborhood to see "this kewl new thing my mom found". All the neighbor kids were ga-ga over it. How funny!!

It is and I guess it kind of dates us a bit. It's hard to believe we learned that song 30 years ago almost. And been singing it that long. Woah!

Wow!! Haven't heard or thought of that in ages. They came here when Bishop Wilson was pastor...they were just so young and starting out.

I always loved It's My Desire by Jim and Becky...still a great song.

Sis Barb,

It's my desire is the most requested song I sing... I love to play it on my sax more than I love singing it. I think the reason it moves me so is that it is my testimony... If you could see where Jesus brought me from... Jesus!
