John 14:1-6 - Painting: Salvador Dali - The Last Supper - 1955 |
Hello!
If you're a fan of music that combines blues and gospel — today's track will scratch that itch.
: )
Jonny Lang first hit the music scene in 1997 when he was just 15 — with his blues steeped hit Lie To Me .
Lang was among a few young musicians then (like fellow teen Kenny Wayne Shepherd) who were following in the trail-blazing footsteps of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Lang sang and played guitar with a passion not heard much in popular music then or now although he was struggling in his personal life when he first started out.
According to Wikipedia:
"After a period of alcoholism and drug use, Jonny Lang became a Christian in 2000, which led him to stop substance abuse.
In an interview with Sara Groves on Christianity Today, Lang gave details about his conversion, assuring he had a supernatural experience with the Holy Ghost.
In his own words, he has said that he formerly "hated Christianity" and "despised the things of God", but now he wants to share with others about Jesus' love.
Lang's 2006 album, the gospel-influenced Turn Around, won him his first Grammy Award."
God is good!
Below you'll find a "music-only" video of Lang's I Believe, from the compilation Album Oh Happy Day — where Jonny makes a clear declaration of his faith set to a Gospel bluesy track.
I pray his music Blesses you and fills your heart with the awesome Love and Peace found only through our wonderful Savior — Jesus the Messiah!
I Believe — Lyrics
I believe just what he said!
(I believe)
Oh! I'm gonna have my mansion there
(I believe — I believe — I believe)
I'm gonna have my mansion there
(I believe)
Well I believe just what He said!
Because he made a way for me
(I believe — I believe — I believe)
Yeah when He died on Calvary
(I believe)
Well I believe just what He said!
Oh! He broke off all my chains
(I believe — I believe — I believe)
OH! And all the guilt is gone away
(I believe)
I believe just what He said!
(By faith I believe)
I believe!
(By faith I receive)
I receive it!
(By faith I can have it)
I can have it!
(By faith I can share it)
Share it!
(I believe just what He said)
(By faith I will know it)
(By faith I will show it)
(By faith I will carry — and now I can bear it)
I believe just what He said!
I believe! repeats
Well I believe just what He said!
I believe just what He said!
I believe every Word — every Word He said!!!

Romans 10:9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
