For most of the 70s I played in the bars and nightclubs, and pretty much became an alcoholic. In 1978, I got out of the bars, got sober and found a new love for music especially gospel music. This is my testimony song..

Good testimony song...
I enjoyed it...
But I sure wish you would include the lyrics
.
Really nice work on this one, Ronnie
Your baritone voice flows like water over the backing tracks. A beautifully raw and touching piece that I'm sure is relatable for a few of us here.
Thanks for sharing!
I Remember a time, of smoke filled barrooms,
I used to be part of the band.
And alot of times, I didn't worry about the pay,
except the drink I held in my hand.
Then driving home that night, not knowing how I got there,
not knowing, he had a for me.
But you see, two thousand years ago, on a hill called Mt.Calvary,
I found out, Jesus rescued me.
Chorus:
I found out that Jesus rescued me,
from sin's prison he has set me free,
I'm not the same old man that I used to be,
I found out that Jesus rescued me.
Now I'm looking for that time, when he'll split that eastern sky,
and come to take his children home.
Where we'll walk through gates of pearl, onto the streets of gold,
where forever, we'll be free to roam.
Where we won't have a care, we'll have a mansion so fair,
with as address like Glory Avenue.
Now I know why he saved me, it's because that he loves me,
I found out Jesus rescued me.
Repeat Chorus:
Very cool story.
There was a time that I was really into gospel music. Kind of a variation of southern gospel. I'll have to dig out a few of those old songs I wrote back in that time and record them properly.
I like it.
If you look down my music list a bit you can find a number of songs I wrote in this genre.... well it's more country christian music.
