Songs of the Jesus Movement "Feel The Love"

Reflections on the Jesus Movement: Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa with Pastor Chuck Smith performing baptisms at Pirate's Cove Corona Del Mar, CA in the 70's. "Love Song" accompanying the baptisms.

Love Song - "A Love Song" & Their History

When Chuck Girard, Tommy Coomes, Jay Truax and Fred Field first stepped out onto the Calvary Chapel stage one evening back in 1970, it's not likely that the few hundred people gathered there had any idea they were about to witness the beginning of a new era in gospel music. 

You don't usually think in those terms when you hear a group for the first time. Now, had you been there, you probably would have come to the conclusion that these four young men who called themselves Love Song were pretty good. Exceptionally good. They played soothing, intensely personal music that spoke to the heart and echoed the timeless themes of God's love. 

At the same time, it sounded very much like the music the professional rock and folk rock groups were playing.

Calvary Chapel - 1970

That was perhaps the most intriguing part of it. Music like Love Song was playing had formerly been reserved for the pop airwaves; it had, at that time, no place in the Christian scheme of things. But here was this group, weaving a tapestry of close harmonies, pulsating rhythms and intricate guitar patterns, all tied together with an undeniably clear gospel message.

The audience felt something vibrant, something fresh, something uniquely positive about this music. For the moment, it was beautiful praise music befitting the atmosphere; beyond that moment, the newly conceived sound was to become the forerunner in contemporary gospel music.

That's quite a statement, but consider the facts: two years later Love Song's first album would be released. Sales would catapult the record to the top, where it would remain for more than a year as the best-selling gospel album in the nation.

Today the album, along with Love Song's second release, "Final Touch," is still a best seller. And between the albums, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have witnessed the group's dynamic live performances

Classic Christian Rock at its best! Subscribe for more great music!

In the early 70's, during the beginnings of what became known as the "Jesus Movement," a group of young, long-haired, bearded musicians, desiring to express their new-found faith in Jesus Christ through music, formed a band called Love Song. Using a mixture of folk, rock, pop, and country, Love Song's music was entirely new and unique for the Christian music world.

The music was fresh, sometimes radical, and yet, truly inspirational for a generation of young people searching for truth and it blazed the path for what we know today as 'contemporary Christian music.' Many called them the Christian "Beatles" at that time and their 1972 debut album is now considered a true classic, voted the #7 contemporary Christian album of all time by CCM magazine. - (one-way.org)

John Denver: Timeless Songs (Includes My Sweet Lady and Poems, Prayers & Promises)

I just had to include this on my Blog, so I could listen to it without
leaving the site!

I don't fully agree with all of John Denver's lyrics and philosophy, but back in the '70s it was good music for one in high school and my brief college time.

I hope you ultimately met Jesus too as your Lord and Savior, John. If so, we can sing a few together when I get there.

Steve Martin
A singer, and one who loves the Lord's creation,
especially the mountains and forests in the fall.

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did You think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
I swear to You our time has just begun.

Close your eyes, rest your weary mind
I promise, I will stay right here beside You
Today our Lives were joined, became entwined
I wish you could know how much I love You.

Lady, are You happy, do You feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my Sweet Lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never ever loved before.

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise, I will stay right here beside You
Today our Lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that You could know how much I love You.

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did You think our time together was all gone
Lady, my Sweet Lady, I'm as close as I can be
I swear to You our time has just begun.
