Yesterday I walked to the park, and saw that the pool was closed. There was a cold wind, and it hit me so hard that the summer was over. My heart felt so sad. So I came back home and looked up songs that brought back memories of that summer feeling, and so I am making this section on my favorite love songs about summer. This way, I will be able to pretend it is summer all year long!
This song means a lot to me, and I find myself listening to it over and over. It is a bit sad, but my wife has been away for a few weeks, and in the song he says that one day she’ll come back to me.
I saw Merle Haggard on TV once where he was saying that Johnny Cash gave him some good advice. He said he must tell the people he has been in prison, that the people would understand. If he didn’t, and the media found out, they would ruin his career.
When I was little, I remember Pastor Shanklin singing this song, and playing his piano accordion. It is so wonderful to be able to hear these old songs on the youtube. Many many years later I wrote my own song about Galilee, after being in Israel, called: Blue Galilee.
When I was visiting South Africa in 1971, I stayed a few months with “Uncle” Willie Roeland at his house called “Eldorado.” He told me once how he was in a car full of businessmen hurrying to get to a meeting, when a tire blew out. He said they went all over the road, miraculously missing all the other cars, then the car rolled a few times, then spun around on it’s roof before landing back on it’s wheels. He said he only had time to say: “Jesus.” He said as they sat there in the car in total shock, with the dust settling, there was a tape in the tape deck, and someone was singing this song: “In times like these – you need a Savior.” Wow – that’s true!
When I was little, I heard my Mother singing this song, and it has remained one of my favorite gospel songs. It brings back so many memories of my childhood.
I remember hearing my daughter singing this one, so I feel it must be one of her favorite gospel songs.
I found it so sad to read that Mr. Jack Holcomb died at the age of 47, but he achieved something for Jesus. We can be so blessed so many years later with his beautiful rendition of these magnificent songs.
I love the way she hits that high note at the end. I long to be by the sea. This is one of my favorite love songs, but it takes a good voice to hit the high and low notes. Linda has that voice!
Once you love someone, it is hard to stop. When I was young I used to get very sad singing this favorite love song because it reminded me of a girl who was very special to me.
What a number! This is probably many people’s favorite love song. I read a book once by Debbie Reynolds where she says she was shocked at the way the women were throwing themselves at Tom Jones.
Very beautiful pictures with this song of faith. The lighthouse and the waves crashing. Big storm. Don’t be afraid, you are not alone. God cares for you. Jesus died for you, so you can get saved.
I thought it was very interesting to hear his life story, as told by other people. “Thank you” Sir Cliff Richard. He shook my hand when I was young, and it was a very big thrill for me.
Many times I long to be on tropical beaches and swimming in the waves of the nice warm sea, but not being able to do that, I find the next best thing is to look at places on the computer. So if you are in that position, you too can have a virtual holiday by the sea.
I love the sound of the steel drums playing “Yellow Bird.” There is a small section where people are dancing, but I just fast forward to get to the beautiful beaches, the palm trees, the waves and the cliffs.
There is a reason for this comic. When I was in my
early twenties, I had a dream one night where I stood before the Lord, and the
Lord said: “What did you do for Me?” So I replied: “I went to church.” He said:
“That wasn’t for me, that was for yourself, you are the one who got a blessing
out of it. What did you do for Me?” So I said: “I read the Bible.” The Lord
said: “That was for yourself, you are the one who got a blessing out of it.
What did you do for Me?” Then it dawned on me that I had never won any souls
for Jesus. I went to religious meetings 7 to 10 times a week. I read the Bible
when I was a teenager. I knew hundreds of songs. I even knew most of the
numbers off by heart, and what key each song was in, but I had never won any
souls for Jesus. So that is what inspired me to ask a girl at work to go to
church. When she gave her heart to Jesus, her life changed. For the first time,
I saw a life change in front of my own eyes, and I later left my job and went
out singing for Jesus, and trying to win souls for Him. I can’t remember why I
called this comic Top Priority, but I guess it is because being saved is the
most important thing in the whole world! Won’t you give your life to Christ
today?
