AS LONG AS WE'RE INTO MUSIC; I made it BIG this morning.

3 years ago

I've listened to every genre of music but I outright reject rap and "gangsta" stuff. Maybe that's because Country music has played a major part in my history, probably because my Dad was Country/Western as far back as I could remember and we shared a lot of time and a lot of that music over a beer or two. Even at work, he had the radio on the Country station all day long and almost every album he owned was Country. We were both taken by Gospel, but also tear-jerking, sheat-kicking and truck-driving sounds, from Hank Williams to Willy Nelson, Patsy Cline to Loretta Lynn and everybody in between.

I just want to say that I loved the stuff, but when I first heard Charlie Pride, it was a turn of the corner for me. It was country at it's most bestest.

The reason I bring this up is twofold; I found CP on you tube this morning and it reminded me...
CP sang a Gospel song that I've never heard from anyone else and I love it, and would love to be able to sing it again: "In Jesus' Name. Amen." I think that's the whole title but it's not on you tube, and although I remember the tune well, I can't recall all the lyrics.

Part of it goes: "Father, open up my eyes to the wonders all around me; Father let not envy be a part of me in any way. And if I falter Father, or fall beneath my load, Father stand by me, , hold me to the road. In Jesus' Name I pray.."

I can't even find an album with that song in it on the internet!!!
So will I get lucky again?
Is anyone else familiar with that song?
Can I get the lyrics somewhere?

I'd appreciate ONLY helpful comments, please. wink

Have you tried googling "charlie Daniels lyrics"? I bet you could find it that way. Good luck!

Thanks Rocket but yes, I have and can't find the lyrics or an album with the song, so I'm hoping someone will have either and help me out. I think my ex kept my album and she probably sold it, along with others. Anyway, thanks to you I realized that I misspelled his name, it's Charley Pride, not Charlie. Thanks again my dear.

I'm 2 for 2 this morning!

Artist/Band:
Pride, Charley
Album:
Sunday Morhing With Charlie Pride

Father give me strength, to do what I must do
Father give me courage, to say what I must say
Let that spirit move me, I'm nothing on my own
Father stand by me, I cannot stand alone
In Jesus Name I pray

Father open up my eyes to your wonders all around
Father let me see the good & beauty of this day
Fill my heart with love for my fellow men
And if I'm tempted Father, Father stay my hand
In Jesus Name I Pray

Father help me through the trouble days that lie ahead
Let your light shine before me, that may find my way
Don't let me stumble Father, or fall beneath my load
Father guide my footsteps, hold me to the road
In Jesus Name I Pray

Let not anger be my guide, nor fear be my master
Father let not envy be a part of me in any way
Father search my soul, take away my fear & doubt
Any smallness that you find there, Father cast it out
In Jesus' Name I pray.

Where did you find that?

w00t INDEED, YOU SCORED AGAIN!!! AWESOME!!!

I have spent MANY HOURS searching for that and couldn't find it.

I can hear him sing it now...in my head. And can only wish I could sing it but I wouldn't do it justice after hearing him.
Thanks, M'Lady.

Gee, if I were a gambler I'd say "Let's play Loto today!" You could provide the numbers and I'd chip in the buck.

I found a couple of mistakes, like where it's supposed to say: "Let Thy Spirit move me."; and "Fill my heart with love for my fellow man."

It's such a beauty, wish I could share the whole song with everybody.
Thanks love. thumbup happy

I think I just searched the words 'Pride In Jesus Name I Pray' and it popped up in some obscure site. Darned if I know, but as long as it works and you're happy, I'm happy ...

BELIEVE ME! YOU made me VERY happy! (salute, grab, smooch and run fast emotes)

I'm more into kentucky bluegrass myself, but I love spirituals and gospel too.

Have you tried doing a lyrics search, entering the lines you know plus the word lyrics, on google? I've found some pretty rare jazz stuff like that - not the chords or sheet music though, which is a shame.

I don't know if you're familiar with Rural TV - it's a new channel just launched in the UK, that has regular gospel and country gigs. I think it has a website - there may be a link there.

Good luck! I know how frustrating it is, trying to track down lyrics or music to a song you've heard.

Hope this was at least a little bit helpful - I may be a jazzer, but I'm adaptable!

Just seen the post above mine. Well done!

Kentucky Bluegrass works for me too. I thought it was funny that one of my daughters is heavily into jazz, which I never was hot about... you know... it's cool, but. Our friend LadyJarhead located what I was looking for. Incredible, after all the time I tried and couldn't. I'll see if I can get that site you mention, just for the heck of it, so thanks Doll. I appreciate it. Peace and jazz on.
