Lance James is a country singer in South Africa, who also sings some good old gospel songs. I hope they are a blessing to you. He also sings some of them in the Afrikaans language called ‘Evangelie Liedere.’<\/p>\n
1. I believe<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Hoe groot is U<\/a><\/p>\n How great Thou art.<\/p>\n 3. One day at a time \u201clive\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Many years ago when I was working in downtown Johannesburg, I used to sing this song every day, asking the Lord to get me through on a daily basis.<\/p>\n 4. Dankie<\/a><\/p>\n Thank You for every new morning.<\/p>\n 5. Why me<\/a><\/p>\n 6. Mansion over the hilltop<\/a><\/p>\n When I was young, I remember being allowed to go to the church young people’s meeting, as a special favour. This was in Salisbury. I was under age. You had to be 13 to 30 to attend. I remember sitting around the fire while they sang this chorus. Also another chorus called: “Just one day nearer home.” It was so exciting for me. Then my Dad got a transfer to Bulawayo before I turned 13.<\/p>\n 7. Across the bridge<\/a><\/p>\n I loved this country gospel song so much when I was young\u00a0that I also recorded it on my LP that I recorded at Gallo studio in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n 8. The farmer and the Lord<\/a><\/p>\n I first heard this in Bulawayo on a record by Jimmy Dean, then later on by Jim Reeves. I love the country gospel songs, the way you can pray anywhere. On the mountain, in the valley, in the field. Some people seem to think you can only pray in a church building! Jesus himself prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane!<\/p>\n 9. God be with you till we meet again<\/a><\/p>\n This song has a special meaning to me. “Smite death’s threatening wave before you.” Lance doesn’t sing the exact same words that I remember. When I was 20, I was a passenger in a sports car, when the driver rolled the car, and I was thrown out. That was the days before we had to wear seat belts. I could have died! When I lay in the hospital in Salisbury, this song kept running through my mind. Later on I heard that my Mother had a dream, where all the church young people were at the beach, and a massive wave came crashing over us. When the wave retreated, all the young people were there except me. So she intercede in prayer for me. Before doing this page, I just read on the internet that Lance James’ wife died last year. Sorry to hear that Lance. May God be with you through these difficult times.<\/p>\n 10. Food on the table<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you Jesus.<\/p>\n 11. What a friend we have in Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n 12. Amazing grace<\/a><\/p>\n 13. Sing<\/a><\/p>\n This song was a blessing to me.<\/p>\n 14. We\u2019ll meet again my friends<\/a><\/p>\n 15. Nearer my God to Thee<\/a><\/p>\n 16. In the garden<\/a><\/p>\n The man who wrote this song had a vision of Mary Magdalene in the garden by the tomb of Jesus, and how Jesus spoke to her after his resurrection.<\/p>\n 17. Whispering hope<\/a><\/p>\n 18. 10,000 angels cried<\/a><\/p>\n 19. Wings of a dove<\/a><\/p>\n 20. It is no secret<\/a><\/p>\n 21. Old rugged cross<\/a><\/p>\n 22. God made love<\/a><\/p>\n 23.
