160.0. "Song Request" by DPDMAI::GREERW (Doing OK in OKC) Wed May 26 1993 19:11

        Hi all,
        
        I heard a beautiful contemporary Christian song while in Dallas 
        the other day, but was unable to contact the radio station to see 
        who the artist and title were.  After coming home (Oklahoma 
        City), I called the local Christian station and described the 
        song, but was told that they had not heard of it.  I hope to find 
        someone on this conference that can give me a clue.
        
        The topic of the song was the witness of a Christian man to a 
        friend that he had not seen in a long time.  The main phrase in 
        the chorus seemed to be "Jesus lives in me".  In the first verse, 
        the "old friend" notices that the Christian man has changed, 
        allowing the Christian to relate to his friend how he was saved.  
        In the second verse the friend tells how bad his life has been, 
        and the Christian tells him how his life can also change in the 
        same manner.  In the third verse the the friend accepts Christ as 
        his Savior which is represented by him singing the "Jesus lives 
        in me" chorus (the same artist sings both parts).
        
        This song portrayed some powerful moments in our Christian 
        witness.
        
        Thanks in advance,
        Warren

160.1Ray Boltz "Alliegance"TAPE::LKLHis Pain, Your Gain!Thu Mar 24 1994 07:2026
    
    good a topic as any I suppose for this....
    
    Has anyone heard Ray Boltz's latest release...  "Alliegance"
    
    My ex-pastor - Lawrence Chewning - wrote a song that Ray has 
    produced/sung on this album.  It is called "The Anchor Holds".
    
    There is an intro instrumental track called The Storm that
    has a full orchestra playing and then it moves into Lawrence's
    song.    "Though the sails are torn, the anchor holds.  Though
    the ships been battered, the anchor holds."  This is an excellent
    song.
    
    I recommend the album.  Go check out the demo tape at your local
    Christian bookstore and hear for yourself or call your local
    Christian radio station and request it. 
    
    Ray is know for his moving ballads "Watch the Lamb" & "Thank You"
    to name a few.  And hopefully, now, for "The Anchor Holds".
    
    Other songs on the album vary is music style.  There is an R&Bish
    type song called "I Go To the River".  There is a kinda countryish
    tune called "Bought with the Blood".  There is a simple catchy song
    called "Set Sail".  And the first song to be released as a single
    is "Alliegance".
160.2Help with words?ODIXIE::HUNTFri Aug 12 1994 13:327
    Does anyone know the words to the Steven Curtis Chapman song
    "Will they see God for who He really is?"?  I play guitar and sing.  I
    can pick up the tune, but I can't remember all the words.
    
    Thanks,
