Hi!

I written a few times in the past about Miss D's Gospel Show on the radio here in Phoenix, Arizona.

Through her program I found Leander Williams—and his Gospel Quartet Paradise Show on PGGM radio.

I was checking out his program from 5-5-2018—uploaded to his YouTube channel— and didn't get any further than the first song—which I LOVED and knew I'd want to share here!

Doc McKenzie & The Hi Lites' - Come Aboard — is in that uptempo Gospel style that I have completely fallen in love with.

The track is sophisticated musically—but energetic and fun—and best of all—it's completely uplifting—and it'll make you feel so good!!

So give it a spin and see if you don't agree!

Come Aboard - Lyrics

You know, God told Noah,
To build the ark,
And let the people know <reference to Noah's own wife—and his sons and their wives)
That the doors are open,

(Come aboard!)
It's gonna rain
(It's gonna pour)
While the doors are open—
(Come aboard—God's getting ready to close the doors,

Make up your mind,
(Come aboard)
Don't waste no more time!
(It's gonna pour)
You need to get in a hurry!
(Come aboard—God's getting ready to close the doors)

Oh! Get your business straighter,
(Come aboard)
Don't you be late no more,
(It's gonna pour)
You need to get in a hurry,
(Come aboard)
God's getting ready to close the doors—

Come along—
(Come along—my friends come along)
It could be any time,
(I don't know when—but He's comin' back real soon)
Come along—
(Come along—my friends come along)
I don't know when—
(I don't know when—But He's comin' back—Comin' back real soon!)

Listen here—

He's comin' like a thief and a robber by night,
(You can't go back with him if your heart ain't right)
My eyes can move—and I can see a new day—I said—
(Lord you've promised from a mighty long way)

(If I were you I wouldn't wait no more!)
(God's getting ready)—To close the door—

(Come aboard)
Get in a hurry—
(Come aboard)
Don't wait no more—
(Come aboard)
Because God getting ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)
I don't want to be covered...
(Come aboard)
In my sins—
(Come aboard)
With the doors closed—
(Come aboard)
And I can't get in—
(Come aboard)

Don't be late no more—
(Come aboard)
 Because God's gettin' ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)

Trust me when I say...
(Come aboard)
The time's not long—
(Come aboard)
I'm tryin' to warn you—
(Come aboard)
In my song—
(Come aboard)

Go and tell somebody—
(Come aboard)
It won't be water...
(Come aboard)
But fire next time—
(Come aboard)

Tell your mama—
(Come aboard)
Tell your daddy too—
(Come aboard)
Tell your brother—
(Come aboard)
And your sister too—
(Come aboard)

Tell 'em don't wait no more—
(Come aboard)
God's gettin' ready—
(Come aboard) 
To close the door—
(Come aboard)
If I were you...
(Come aboard) 
I wouldn't wait no more—
(Come aboard)

Make up your mind—
(Come aboard)
Stop wasting time—
(Come aboard)
Can't you see that time...
(Come aboard)
Is windin' up—
(Come aboard)

We're living in...
(Come aboard)
The last days—
(Come aboard)
You need to turn...
(Come aboard)
From your wicked ways—
(Come aboard)

Get in a hurry—
(Come aboard)
I told you—
(Come aboard)
Don't you wait no more
(Come aboard)
God's getting ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)

TobyMac - I Just Need YOU!


Music Video Below

Carl Bloch - Christ Heals the Paralytic at the Bethesda Pool (1883) - John 3:16-17


 -------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

Last night—while driving around—I was doing some radio channel surfing through several different Christian stations I have set on my deck.

Suddenly—I hit on a song that had my attention in a moment.

I loved the feel of the track and vocals—and fortunately it was playing on a station that shows the artist and song name on the radio's read-out.

I loved it so much—and didn't want to forget it—so I actually called my own phone and left a voice message about to to remind myself:

TobyMac - I Just Need YOU!

--------------------------

When I got home I found the music video for it—which is very cool too—and have shared it below.

--------------------------

TobyMac has been making Christian music for years and was a member of the popular group DC Talk from 1987 to 2001—and has been a successful solo artist since then.

He's had 20 songs on "Billboard's Christian Songs List—and between his solo career and DC Talk has sold more than 10 million albums and won 7 Grammy Awards."

 Hope you feel Blessed by this song!

I Just Need YOU! - LYRICS:

Last night put the heavy on me
Woke up, and I’m feeling lonely
This world gotta a way of showin’ me

Some days it’ll lift you up
Some days it’ll call your bluff
Man, most of my days I ain’t got enough

And all I know—Is You’re my only hope

When I’m up, when I’m down 
When the wolves come around 
When my feet hit the ground 
I just need, I just need U 

On my darkest days, 
when I’m losing faith 
No, it ain’t gonna change 
I just need, I just need U 

Lord, I need U 
Yeah, I just need U

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil—for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff …

They comfort me when I’m beat down broken
Hold my heart when it’s split wide-open
Turn these eyes to my sole protector
And break the will of this born defector

Chorus

When You pull me closer I come to life  (4X)

Chorus

Ain’t no way this thing gon’ change,
It’s U I need on my darkest days,
When I’m losing faith
I need U every single day,
Every breath I take

I need U
