 Love
Found A WayAlbum Liner Note: "I first heard this song at a songwriter showcase in Nashville during GMA week. Phill McHugh sang it for the small crowd that had gathered, and it really nailed me. I know upon one hearing that I wanted to record it. What great pictures and images this song has. The mind is taken on a journey through history to the time of Christ's victory on the cross." People
Of GodAlbum Liner Note: "Truthfully, this song almost didn't make the album. It happened to come to me during one of those frequent periods when I had absolutely no confidence in my own writing. I had trouble getting past my own criticism and letting God use it. We sing it even now as a fellowship song in our worship services. I think its healthy to say out loud who we are….to remind us Whose child we are. It helps in the times of weakness and doubt." New
Lives for OldAlbum Liner Note: "This was another love-at-first-listen song. Dennis Worley worked at CBS in Nashville in their song publishing department. He always sent great songs for me to consider. 'New Lives for Old' was my introduction to the beautiful writing of Gary Driskell, and it was a natural follow-up o 'Touch of the Master's Hand' from the first album. It contributed to my being labeled a story-song singer, but I didn't mind. I still get requests to sing it." Man
In The MiddleAlbum Liner Note: "Mickey Cates wrote about the action at the cross with a really fresh perspective. I loved it from the first demo and remember thinking, 'How can I improve on the demo!!' I think referring to Jesus as the 'Man in the middle' helps the listener see Christ in a new light." Take
All of Me Touch
of the Master's HandAlbum Liner Note: "Back in the late 70's, a friend of mine named Benjamin Harlan gave me two hand-copied pages of a song written by a fellow student of his at Baylor University. The writer was John Kramp and the song, 'Touch of the Master's Hand.' It had been done on one or two custom recordings, but never for national release. It was, without a doubt, the song that helped me catch a few listening ears in 1979. As far as I know, this song is still much requested from radio audiences all over the country." Celebrate
Album Liner Note: "Most of my songs then and now (songs of my own and others), were story-type songs sung about specific issues of the heart. 'Celebrate' was a departure from songs like 'Touch of the Master's Hand' and 'New Lives for Old.' It felt like a great expression of praise to God." For
the Least of TheseAlbum Liner Note: "One of Gary Driskell's best songs. It's God talking to me, full of compassion and love, making me aware of the need for a pure heart toward Him. A great musical setting for pure scriptural text." All
the King's MenAlbum Liner Note: "I've always felt that a good title will help inspire a good song. I tossed the words 'all the king's horses, and all the king's men' around for a couple of years before they fell into place. I heard Lynn reading a story (to Neal) one night before bedtime. He commented that the end of the story was so sad 'the end of the story's a sad one to sing...' helped me fill in the holes and finish. I realized how often I (we) run around trying to fix everything without consulting the Father." One
Day Album Liner Note: "This is still really popular as a sing-a-long, anther great contribution from Phill McHugh. One of the best lines, 'I wanna get so close to Him that it's no big change….on that day when Jesus calls my name.' - isn't that good? To be conformed to the image of the Saviour?" |
