Sanctified, Blood Bought Music: Linda Gibson Johnson - I Call Him My Everything



1 Chronicles 16:8-11

⁸ Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
⁹ Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
¹⁰ Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
¹¹ Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.

Hi!

Last fall I published a blog post (10-16-13) about Linda Gibson Johnson and her music ministry.

That blog entry included her song "I Got Saved In The Old Time Way" from her Tear Off The Roof CD.

At the time of that post, I'd been able to find little information about her on-line, but did find an address from a bebo.com entry about her, which included an address for her ministry:

"Where There's Smoke..." Music Ministries
P.O. Box 3029 Sizerock
Kentucky 41762 

Pastor Eli Sanders "testifies" in 1946 (Public Domain)

More recently, I finally sent off a snail-mail letter to that address asking for info about CD's etc and included the web-address for my 10-16-13 post about her, and my e-mail address.

Yesterday I was delighted to find an e-mail from her.

She is indeed very much still alive and ministering!

She wrote that, now and then, she travels and ministers in the same circles as Sharon Brock, in Kentucky and Ohio. 

(please refer to my 10-30-13 post about Sister Brock)

Sister Johnson's e-mail indicated that she has three CD's:

Fire, Tear Off the Roof and It Still Takes Old-Time Religion. 

• (Note:  At this time (4-5-14) her first two CD's are on re-order)

Her CD's are available by writing her at the address above and including a check or money order for $12.00.

And if you're able to, I encourage you to include a donation for her ministry as well!

Here's Linda Gibson Johnson and "I Call Him My Everything" from her Tear Off The Roof CD (lyrics below):





I Call Him My Everything - Lyrics

Pharisees called Him a devil,
'Cause He brushed their doctrines aside,
Soldiers called Him the king of the Jews,
And mocked Him as He hung and died,

Pilate called Him an innocent man,
Tried to wash blood off his hands,
The crowd called aloud that day,
Saying crucify that man,

But I call Him Father, Friend,
The Beginning and the End,

I call Him my Constant Companion,
He's been there through the thick and thin,

I call Him when there ain't nobody,
When it's just me and Him,

And I call Him my everything,

Folks 'round about that village,
Called Him a carpenter's son,
Mary called Him her baby boy,
Every evening when the day was done,

The blind man called Him, "Son Of David,
Please have mercy on me",
He made the lame to walk and the dumb to talk,
And He made that blind man see,

(Chorus)

Now, I called Him at an old time altar,
When I fell down on my knees,
And I called Him in the good times,
And the bad times in between,

I called Him to heal my body,
And I called Him to ease my mind,
I called Him in the midnight hour,
And He showed up right on time,

(Chorus)

Are You Ready? Awesome Christian Music: Sharon Brock - Getting Ready To Go



The Last Judgment - Michelangelo - Sistine Chapel (public domain image)

Hello!

I've scoured the internet and found almost nothing about this woman...but love this song.

"Getting Ready To Go" sung by Sharon Brock really got my toes a tappin', my hands clappin', my soul a'flyin', and my spirit a'soarin'.  :)

If you're a Christian aware of the signs of the times we're living in, then you'll probably amen the powerful message in it too!

Hope you enjoy this track as much as I do.

(Music only video - lyrics below)





Matthew 24 (NIV) 

(the end times)The Day and Hour Unknown

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Sharon Brock - Getting Ready To Go - Lyrics

There’s a remnant of people all around this earth,

Washed in the blood with the brand new birth,

Been to the water, Been Baptized, Filled with the Holy Ghost, Sanctified,

Diggin’ in the good book every day,

Prayin’ in the spirit, Building up their faith,

Telling that sinner what’ll save their soul,

Listening for the trumpet, For they’re ready to go,
 

Said, Oh my Lord, Getting ready to go,


Chorus:  Getting ready to go to a city far beyond the sky,

To a supper for the groom and his chosen bride,

Saints have been waiting for oh so long,

We’re comin’ home, Swing those Pearly gates open wide,

There’s a stirrin’ in my soul,

Getting ready to go,
 

In the midnight hour we can hear the sound,

We’ll all go home and we’ll leave the ground,

We’ll be changed in the twinkling of an eye,

To be with Jesus, by and by,
 

Heaven is a waitin’ for all the redeemed,

It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen,

Well I can feel the stirrin’ in my soul,

It’s just about time and I’m ready to go,

Said, Oh my Lord, Getting ready to,
 

Are you ready,

Are you ready………………….
