Gospel Music - Gaither Vocal Band - Do You Wanna Be Well

Waiting there for thirty-eight years, cried so long he ran out of tears
Just a worn out man, looking for a healing hand
Then one day his chance came along, a healing Man who could make him strong
And he caught his eyes, but his question took him by surprise

Christian Music - Michael English - The Old Rugged Cross Made the Difference

'Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man;
Then a hand with a nailprint stretched downward,
Just one touch then a new life began.

And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat;
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me.

Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little feet run in terror to hide;
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter,
Since the giver of life moved inside.

Christian Music - Gaither Vocal Band - Do You Want To Be Well

“Do you want to be made well?”
This seems like a strange question from Jesus when He asks a man who had an infirmity thirty-eight years, “Do you want to be made well?”.
Some realize if they are healed, their lives will be drastically changed - in our modern World in the United States, it could mean loss of benefits and a return to the work force. It could mean people will no longer bestow pity and attention.

Songs of Praise - Gospel Music - Gaither Vocal Band - Michael English

Hear the cries of the shackled from the onset of time,
For the chains of defeat theres no key.
See the tears of the broken, the cries of the slaves:
Is there no one worthy to set us free?

Hymns of the Church - Gaither Vocal Band - At The Cross

Author - Isaac Watts was born July 17, 1674 at Southampton, England, the eldest of nine children. His father was a Dissenter from the Anglican Church and on at least one occasion was thrown in jail for not following the Church of England. Isaac followed his father's strongly biblical faith. Isaac was a very intelligent child who loved books and learned to read early. He began learning Latin at age four and went on to learn Greek, Hebrew, and French as well. From an early age Isaac had a propensity to rhyming, and often even his conversation was in rhyme.

Because Isaac would not follow the national Church of England, he could not attend the Universities of Cambridge or Oxford. Instead, he attended an academy sponsored by Independent Christians. After completing his formal schooling, Watts spent five years as a tutor. During those years he began to devote himself more diligently than before to the study of the Scriptures. In 1707 he published his first edition of Hymns and Spiritual Songs.

Christian Music - Gaither Vocal Band - He Touched Me

Since I met this blessed saviour
Since He cleansed and made me whole
I will never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls
He touched me
Oh He touched me
And O, the joy that floods my soul
Something happened
And now I know
He touched me and made me whole

Hymns of the Church - Gaither Vocal Band - Yes I Know

Come ye sinners, lost and lonely
Jesus' blood can make you free.
For he saved the worst among you
When He saved a wretch like me
and I know, yes, i know,
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.
and I know, yes, i know,
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

Gaither Vocal Band - Wes Hampton - I'll Tell It Wherever I Go

“A couple of months ago I was talking to Steve Green, who has always been one of my biggest musical influences,” Wes begins, “and he said something that has stuck with me ever since. He said, ‘I believe there’s no such thing as a truly good person. Left to myself, I am just a rotten sinner. People can tell me that I’m a great singer and I’m so wonderful to be out here doing God’s work and sacrificing time away from my family, but the truth is, at the core of my flesh I am a self-centered, selfish man.
The only good in me comes from Christ.’” Wes pauses. “And remember, that’s coming from Steve Green, who’s like a hero of mine! But I get what he was saying, and I truly believe that. The only reason that people are drawn to what I do is because of Jesus, and any good in me is because of Him. That’s not false humility; I’m just trying to be real. People have a tendency to think that because we get up on a stage, we’re somehow exempt from all of the things everybody else goes through, and that’s just not true. I struggle with my humanity just like everyone else — maybe more!”

Gospel Music - Gaither Vocal Band - The King is Coming

Gaither Music - Gaither Vocal Band - He Touched Me

Shackled by a heavy burden,
'Neath a load of guilt and shame.
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.
He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole

Christian Music - Gaither Vocal Band - My Lord and I

The Gaither Vocal Band got its start in the early 1980s with four guys singing around a piano backstage before a Bill Gaither Trio concert. Gary McSpadden, Steve Green, Lee Young and Bill Gaither were just having fun, harmonizing on “Your First Day in Heaven” when Bill decided they should try out their new sound on a live audience that very night. The audience went wild… and that impromptu performance marked the beginning of an era.

Now, for more than a quarter century, the Gaither Vocal Band has created a legacy of award-winning excellence that has forever raised the bar for male harmony. The list of men who have comprised the Gaither Vocal Band over the years reads like a “Who’s Who” among the gospel music industry’s best-loved voices, including: Gary McSpadden, Steve Green, Lee Young, Jon Mohr, Larnelle Harris, Michael English, Lemuel Miller, Jim Murray, Mark Lowry, Terry Franklin, Buddy Mullins, Jonathan Pierce, David Phelps, Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Marshall Hall and Wes Hampton.

Always at the helm has been Bill Gaither, who has led the group out of his personal passion for great harmony and his genuine desire to bring meaningful music to a hurting world. And the Grammy-winning, chart-busting success of the Gaither Vocal Band has far exceeded his wildest expectations.

Christian Music - Gaither Vocal Band - I Then Shall Live

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (NKJV)

Easter - Gaither Vocal Band - It Is Finished

There’s a line that’s been drawn through the ages;
On that line stands the old rugged cross.
On that cross a battle is raging
For the gain of a man’s soul or its loss.
On one side march the forces of evil,
All the demons and devils of hell;
On the other the angels of glory,
And they meet on Golgotha’s hill.
