Congratulations to the Gospel Music Roadshow on their inaugural publication. We are thrilled that our friends north of the 49th Parallel can join in this exciting new endeavor. Southern Gospel Music is experiencing a wonderful resurgence in Canada following its abrupt decline in 2020. Many of our local artists are traveling and sharing the Gospel, while some of our beloved American artists are returning and being welcomed with open arms. We are all part of the same Heavenly Kingdom, united as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Southern Gospel Music is too important not to share, and it holds a special place in my heart. When I was very young, my dad sang bass with a local quartet. One night, he came home and shared with my mom that while singing “I’m a Child of the King,” he realized he didn’t have that personal relationship. That night, he got on his knees and gave his heart to the Lord, changing the trajectory of our entire family. For that, I am eternally grateful.
The message of Gospel Music remains relevant, continues to change lives, and needs to be shared now more than ever. Thank you to all the artists who tirelessly proclaim the Gospel week after week, year after year.
Once I Was Clothed In The Rags Of My Sin,
Wretched And Poor, Lost And Lonely Within.
But With Wondrous Compassion, The King Of All Kings,
In Pity And Love, Took Me Under His Wings.
Oh, Yes, Oh Yes, I’m A Child Of The King
His Royal Blood Now Flows In My Veins.
And I Who Was Wretched And Poor Now Can Sing
Praise God, Praise God, I’m A Child Of The King.
Now I’m A Child With A Heavenly Home,
My Holy Father Has Made Me His Own.
And I’m Cleansed By His Blood, And I’m Clothed In His Love,
And Some Day I’ll Sing With The Angels Above.
