by Pat Franklin Are you looking for some great new Christian music to thrill your soul? I’ve just received a terrific birthday gift from our daughter and sone-in-law – the CD of ‘Hymns and Prayer Songs’ by Buddy Greene. It is first class, five star. That Nashville sound reaches right down into your heart. The blurb on the back reminds us that music is possibly the most powerful influence on young people, next to the influence of their parents. It continues: ‘That is why we recorded Hymns and Prayer Songs – to help parents mould the character of their children and to give them something to inspire them in their careers. ‘It would be difficult to find a better use of 57 minutes than in the enjoyment of such compositions as: Revive Us Again; Jesus Saves; Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing; What Wondrous Love is This; Footsteps of Jesus; There is Power in the Blood; Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It; Great Is the Lord God; All Creatures of Our God and King; Bringing In the Sheaves; Jesus I am Resting, Resting; A Hymn to God, the Father; A Mighty Fortress Is Our God; Rock of Ages; How Deep the Father’s Love For Us; River of Refreshment; Leaning on the Everlasting Arms; and Shall We Gather at the River.’ You can find out more about Buddy and his superb music at www.buddygreene.com If that does not work try www.grassrootsmusic.com So thank you to our daughter Annie and son-in-law Michael in Israel for this wonderful CD. It just fills my heart with praise to hear Buddy Greene’s country renditions of this great music. This is what the young believers are listening to in Israel and how glad I am to receive this Nashville feast for the ears and the soul, coming via my Savior’s very own land of Israel. I would love to offer Buddy's music here on the website, but we don't have a supply here in the UK. You'll have to get them straight from him online or you can also write to: Buddy’s Mercantile, PO Box 3687, Brentwood Tennessee, USA 37024. Telephone 615 377 1251 (dial 001 first from the UK), fax 615 377 1252 (prefix by country code 001 from UK). I leave you with a verse from the first song on the CD, Revive Us Again: 'All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain Who has borne all our sins and cleansed every stain Hallelujah Thine the glory Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Thine the glory Revive us again!'
