Gospel Songs by Pat Boone

Posted on by

Pat Boone was a famous pop singer when I was little. Many years later I bought many of his records where he sang just gospel songs. I loved the records where he was backed by The First Nashville Jesus Band.

1. A wonderful time up there

I think this was on the hit parade in Rhodesia when I was about 12 years old. I was so proud of Pat Boone for not being ashamed to sing a gospel song.

2. Radio Station S.A.V.E.D.

3. Beyond the sunset

4. Just a closer walk with Thee – Pat Boone Gospel Song

5. It is no secret

We met Pat Boone in South Africa after his show there, and he wrote me a very nice letter while he was on the plane back to America. He seems like a very nice person.

6. Whispering Hope

7. This Land is mine (Masada)

8. There’s a gold mine in the sky

Although this is not exactly a gospel song, Jesus said we must store our treasure in heaven, and where our treasure is, there will our heart be also.

9. Sweet hour of prayer

10. In the Garden

The guy who wrote this gospel song had a vision of Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb.

11. Dust on the Bible

12. The old rugged cross

13. He’s got the whole world in His hands

14. Peace in the valley – with Johnny Cash

This is a lovely gospel song based on a dream a lady had.

I think Guy and Ralna split some years back, but I heard her say that her real love was for gospel music. I think she travels around America singing gospel songs in churches and concerts.

DSC09725.crop1.-fixed.Willie

This is a photo I took of Mr. Willie Roeland.

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!

14. The Holy City Jerusalem

15. Take up thy cross

16. Just as I am

17. It took a miracle – Jack Holcomb

The other day I was thinking how hard it is to get people to receive Jesus as their Savior, and I realize that it does take a miracle.

19. Without Him

20. Why should he love me so

21. In the garden

28. Down deep in my heart

29. Ninety and nine

30. There is a balm

31. Lily of the valley

32. All the way the Savior leads me

33. Open your heart

34. I’d rather have Jesus

35. ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

I remember being at someone’s house where they had a Jack Holcomb record. I trust that Jack Holcomb has much treasure in heaven for his dedication to the Lord.

Gospel Songs by Jimmy Swaggart

Posted on by

Jimmy Swaggart is still one of my favorite singers, and piano players, and I hope he don’t mind me having his songs here. I have tried to put the songs in alphabetical order so I can get a better idea of what to add on, and in the process, I lost a few songs! Some other songs have been taken off the YouTube since I posted them. May these songs bless you as much as they bless me. The other day I came across the posting of his early records, and they were such a blessing to me. I used to own a copy of those records back in the 70’s when I was in Africa. So I have added them at the end of the list, numbers 98 – 100. God bless brother Swaggart.

SERMONS

1. Will the circle be unbroken

Do yourself a favor, and listen to this sermon. I was visiting South Africa back in 1970, and I went to a meeting of Pastor Arthur Nipper. He was the agent for Jimmy Swaggart’s records at that time, and I bought all his song records. Then Pastor Nipper said I should buy some of the preaching records too. So I bought two of them, but I never listened to them. Later on I was singing at a church in Durban, and a guy asked me if I had the record: “Will the circle be unbroken?” I said I did, and he rode a long way back to the Concord mission home where I was staying, and paid me for the record. He went away so happy, that I figured the record must be very good. So then I listened to the other one about “What shall the end be” and ended up on my knees beside the record player. Many years later I was singing in a church in Tzaneen, and the pastor had the record “Will the circle be unbroken” that I hadn’t listened to. So I was listening to it in the pastor’s living room about how his mother was praying for him and crying as he was pretending to sleep. The tears were running down my cheeks as I sat there next to the record player. Then the pastor’s with came in from outside, and saw me crying. I felt like such a fool. But that story moved me so much. Many years later I was driving my car, and I wrote a song about brother Swaggart’s story, and I was writing the song, I was crying, and praying for my son, that the devil can’t have my boy! My son is all grown up now, and loves the Lord so much, and I think he is the greatest person in the whole world. I use him as my model for Jesus in my Bible comics.

Gospel Songs by Don Foster (songwriter)

Posted on by

Hi. I go by the name of Don Foster. I started writing gospel songs when I was about 20 years old. Here are some of the songs. They are not fancy recordings, but I have put them out there in case there are some famous singers who are looking for new material.

1. The Winning Side

One morning I was listening to R.W.Schambach on the radio, and got inspired to write this gospel song.

2. Jerusalem I love (with lyrics)

Being in Jerusalem was an experience of a lifetime.

When we were by Galilee, I felt like pitching a tent and staying there for the rest of my life.

4. Just one touch

I was thinking of John G. Lake, and how the Holy Ghost came upon him.

5. I carried you

This is based on the story of the footprints in the sand.

6. Ready?

If we point a finger at others, there are three pointing back at us, and the thumb pointing to God as a witness.

7. There is healing in the Name of Jesus

I wrote this gospel song after my cracked spine got healed in 1972.

8. Jesus, I love You

Jesus said that without Him, we can do nothing.

“By this shall all men know you are my disciples, if you have love one toward another.”

26. Fly high   (LP recording)

Thrills can kill, but Jesus came to give us life.

27. Do you love Him more than anything?

Do we love God more than anything?

28. That’s your mansion!

Jesus said we must store up our treasure in heaven.

54. Thank You for the power

55. Prophets

Many holy men of God prophesied about Jesus.

56. Sunshine is coming on my pathway

57. In die more

Here is one of the few Afrikaans songs I wrote many years ago. “In the morning.”

58. You’re my God

I wrote this song back in the 70,s and am shocked when it goes on YouTube that there are other songs with the same title! Quite a few songs that I wrote in the 70’s have the same titles as other songs out there.

59. All things work together for good

Here is another old song that I wrote in the early 70’s. Some people hate my songs and say they are not worth listening to, but some of these old songs are still a blessing to me. The other week I sat at the organ and sang this song about three times, and it was such a great blessing to me. My apologies to the rich professionals for this amateur recording done many years ago. The other day someone asked me to listen to some songs on the YouTube, and the one song had a billion views! When I listened, it did nothing for me. It was about a plump girl saying how glad she was to be plump. I listened to a couple of other modern singers who had many millions of views, and the songs did nothing for me. However, this song blessed me so much, even if it isn’t fancy.

60. A cloud in the sky

At church on Sunday, Yvonne asked me to load up more songs, so yesterday I loaded 40 old songs from my old cassette tapes, and will load them up to the YouTube as the weeks go by. Here is one of them. I hope it is a blessing to you. I have been blessed doing it. Thanks Yvonne. Thanks to Frank Horvath too, who says I can still use his nice pictures of the sea and fire, etc.

61. When I was young

62. No more singing the blues

63. A million years

64. God cares for you

65. Don’t speak those words

66. He healed my broken heart

67. Walk in the sunshine

68. Man of Gadara

69. He had love

70. God is real to me

71. Wonderful feeling

This was the title song of my first little record I made in 1970. The other songs were: Don’t sit on the fence, The Man who took my place, and Pretty Pretty.

72. Careful

73. A friend of mine

74. I remember You

75. Jesus wants to be number one

Ken Murphy is playing fiddle with me. This is a tribute to Ken Murphy.

76. What shall it profit me?

The late Ken Murphy is playing fiddle with me again.

78. Better get right

Ken Murphy is playing super fiddle with me again.

80. Is there time?

81. Vergewe nou

This is a translation of my song “So forgive.” I am grateful to Mr. Paul Saunders of Damelin College in Johannesburg for help with the translation.

82. Sunshine is coming on my pathway

I have this song earlier, but I did an additional video with photos of the city where we live, for a local competition.

83. Talent contest “live” video – Sunshine is coming on my pathway

I wasn’t chosen for the contest, but I had a daydream that someone had an accident, and they called me in. That night at 10 pm, the manager phoned and asked me to join the show! To me, it was an appointment made by God. I was hoping they wouldn’t put me on first, and to my relief, they put me on last. It has been such a thrill for me. I was so nervous, and didn’t know what to expect, but I was chosen to be in the semi-finals along with another nine acts. Praise the Lord!
