301.0. "Crystal Lewis" by PHXSS1::HEISER (Maranatha!) Thu Feb 06 1997 16:49

    Ever hear one of these songs that just strikes a chord with you and you
    can never get it out of your head?  The new song "People get
    ready...Jesus is comin'" by Crystal Lewis hit me like that.  If you are
    familiar with the Maranatha Praise Band albums, or have attended a
    Harvest Crusade, you have heard the little lady with the HUGE voice. 
    Her new CD is very good!
    
    I also have her greatest hits and her "Remix collection."  The latter
    is great dance party music! ;-)  Seriously, a Christian DJ played it at my
    sister's wedding reception and it brought down the house.
    
    regards,
    Mike
    
    Lord I'm ready now
    I'm waiting for your triumphant return
    Your coming so soon
    This world has nothing for me
    I find my peace and joy solely in you
    Only in you
    I want the world to see that you're alive and living well in me
    Let me be a part of the harvest
    For the days are few
    He's coming soon
    
    {Chorus}
    |: So people get ready
    Jesus is coming
    Soon we'll be going home
    People get ready
    Jesus is coming
    To take from the world His own :|
    
    There will be a day
    When we will be divided right and left
    For those who know Him
    And those who do not know
    Those who know Him well
    Will meet Him in the air, Hallelujah!
    God is with us
    Those who do not know
    They will hear "Depart I knew you not."
    For my friends you see
    There will be a day when we'll be counted
    So know Him well, know Him well

301.1funky voice, but i like itDYPSS1::SCHAFERKalh�un!Thu Feb 06 1997 21:5811
    she's kind of enigmatic, IMO.  her 1st effort was with a band called
    "Wild Blue Yonder" (*real* weak, except for her).  i've floated between
    kinda liking her stuff to really hating it.
    
    this one, i like ... then i hear some stupid the-world-has-sucked-in-
    my-head-and-sucked-out-my-brain "xtian" DJ touting the fact that she
    was some "Miss California" or some such rot, in an obvious attempt to
    make her sound cool to the listening audience.
    
    i figure if she's a regular at Calvary, she must be okay, but i'd like
    to cold-cock that DJ.

    yeah, some songs like "Little Jackie" I didn't care for.  I didn't know
    about the beauty contest, but I think she has a Hispanic background.  Her 
    past few CD's are also available with her singing in Spanish.
    
    btw - She's now the weekly host of TBN's "Real Videos" program.
    
    As for the DJ's, some of these stations are known to hire secular
    people.  I wish I had $5 for every "Christian" DJ that butchered a
    *popular* CCM artist's name.

    gak. 1st the beauty thang, now a TBN host.  the slippery slope waxeth
    ever steeper ........
301.4PHXSS1::HEISERMaranatha!Mon Feb 10 1997 10:275
    She does much better than Crouch's son ever did.  At least she had the
    brilliant idea to have guest VJ's too.  In the past couple months, I've
    see these hosts giving their testimonies and playing some of their
    favorite videos: Jars of Clay, Audio Adrenaline, Steven Curtis Chapman,
    and the Newsboys.
301.5DYPSS1::SCHAFERKalh�un!Tue Feb 11 1997 21:522
    noted (hee hee), but i won't be watching it.  we don't have cable (and
    will soon not have a TV if i have my way ...)
301.6PHXSS1::HEISERMaranatha!Wed Feb 12 1997 09:513
    TBN is free here over the air waves.  We don't have cable either.  It's
    a waste of money, unless you can pay $2/month and just get the sports
    channels ;-)
