In the late 1970's as a teenager, I discovered what was then called Contemporary Christian Music(CCM). One of the first 8-tracks, ( yes I said 8-tracks) that I purchased was by David Meece and it included this song.
The Holy Spirit spoke to me through this and so many other songs over the years by artists like Amy Grant, DeGarmo and Key, Mylon, Petra, and so many others.
In those days there was no Christian Radio to speak of. Music was only available at Christian Bookstores and at concerts. Discovering new music was an experience and a great joy. The music was evangelical, often in-your-face, and frightening to the established church where many declared anything with a modern beat and instruments as satanic.
I am considering starting a podcast to look back on the music, the musicians, and the message of the CCM scene from the Jesus Music days of the 60's and 70's to today's Praise and Worship phenomenon.
Anyone interested in helping, please contact me. I am open to ideas and guidance.
