   I've heard the above few releases and they are very "poor" excuses for dance
music.  I'd place them as pop at the most.  Just IMHO.

   The Myrrh "dance" sampler was a pretty good remix album for it's time, but
it was not really that danceable, especially when you have to do non-stop
mixing.

   I'm waiting for my copy of this CD to come in.  *fingers crossed*  Here's
hoping that it's really great.  I've heard the remixes that he did on the
commercial labels before he got saved and they were great.  Anyone knows if
this album is gonna be released on vinyl or any 12" remixes are coming out?  I
hate mixing CDs... 8)

Check out her Age to Age concert video. I haven't watched it in a while, but
I seem to remember her being quite "religious". Also, I saw her Lead Me on
Tour with Michael W. Smith and Gary Chapman just before they broke for
Christmas in 1988, and it was definitely one of the most memorable concerts
I have ever been to. Very spiritual and religious. I had no doubt about the
sincerity of Amy and M.W.S. after that show.

I think that song was done by AD.  The album title escapes me, though.  I think
it came out in 1985.  The album also has songs called "We are the men" and 
"Lead Me to Reason".  Pretty good album, IMO.

My all time favorite is "Sheep in Wolves Clothing." His first 
"Greatest Hits Album" took SIX songs from this album and didn't
even include "So Help Me God" (the base DIGS on that one).

Six songs on this album on Greatest Hits (no particular order):

       Trains Up in the Sky
       Gospel Ship
       Morning Star
       I Will Rejoice
       He is Strong
       The Warrior

Far and away, the best release from Mylon Lefevre(sp!!) is _Face the Music_.
The CD is short, only about 35 minutes or so, but every second is incredible.
One song, Won By One, was said by Mylon to be the best the band ever recorded.
I agree.  None of their (newer) albums come close to this one, although
Sheep in Wolves Clothing is really good, and the two greatest hits albums
are good because of the old stuff they contain.

Summary: They are trying to restore Charles Wesley's House
Organization: State University of New York at Binghamton

Folks,

    Just thought you might be interested.  There is a group running an
appeal to restore Charles Wesley's house, (where he wrote many of his
hymns).  They also plan to make it "a kind of Charles Wesley Heritage
Centre".  It's partly a restoration effort, partly a collection, (for
instance they "plan to display the manuscripts of hymns and copies of
hymnbooks from countries where his hymns are still loved and sung."

    I don't have a lot of information on this effort, only a pamphlet,
(which I was quoting from above).  For more information I would suggest
dropping a line to:

Charles Wesley House Appeal
c/o John Wesley's Chapel
36 The Horsefair, Bristol BS1 3JE
England

						Tom Blake
						SUNY-Binghamton

P.S.  I have no affiliation with the "Charles Wesley House Appeal", but
I've sung a lot of Wesley's hymns!

That's not much to go on, but since you are not sure of the title, I'll
take a guess:

All Across the Sky    Steve Green     We Believe

"Oh His love is written all across the sky,
As brilliantly the stars all testify.
The glory of the God who reigns on high
Is displayed in the world He has made.
And as all creation seems to shout and sing
In wonder to the one Almighty King,
His signature can easily be seen on everything."

For those of you who appreciate the blessing of lucky charms there is kind
of generic nearly equivalent version called magic stars available at Kroger

the marshmallows are different but not really all stars being a non-expert

I too am an Amy Grant fan.

I started listening to her in the late 70's and got so see her in concert
several times before she became a "superstar".

Everytime she changes her music style, I'm not sure I like it at first, but
I always grow to love it.

Looking back, some of her earliest stuff is kind of corny, but I'm her age,
and at the time it came out, I ate it up.  

She's congruent with who she is and where she is at, and I really admire that.

`m posting this so everyone who's interested in this stuff will se it.
Most of the stuff you mentioned is now out on CD, except Love Song (as
far as I know), and Larry Norman, but his stuff is still available on cassette in some stores and by mail order from Phyeax (I`ll get the address if you want it).  Oh, that was a typo.  That's *Phydeaux*.
The Petra is available mostly on compilation albums like WAR AND REMEMBRANCE andPETRA MEANS ROCK.  Randy`s stuff is all still available on cassette (at least from WELCOME TO PARADISE on), but it's kind of hard to find.  Maybe mail-oder places will have it if you can't fin it in the bookstores.
Phil's early stuff as well as the first 2 Rez albums have recently been 
released on CD, as has HOW THE WEST WAS ONE, the live album with Keaggy and
2nd Chapter (which is incredible by the way).
Hope this helped.  Also, are there any other Jesus music fans out there?
I posted this question before, but I think people misunderstood me. I only wanted email from those who had info on the albums I wanted.  Thanks for all
the replies, by the way.  Any JM ans, post replies.  Maybe we can get a nice iscussion going.

ultimate creation, MAN  Man  And the Creators breath was inside each man,
yet outside, each was a unique canvas  And man became a glistening CITY awash
in light  And the ebb and flow of perfect love thrived in that town  And it
was beautiful to the Watcher  But a mastermind lurked outside the town.  He
was responsible for forever death  And he wished it on the city  Meanwhile,
the city grew to be a WORLD  But the world of the mastermind also increased
outside the city and began to war against the Watchers Creation...  And the
Watcher saw the beautiful lights of His now great city begin to dim  And there
was little or no love in the city  So the Watcher sent a mighty wind through
the city  And there was new life in this breeze  Some noticed - some did not
 The senses of the inhabitants were slowly dulled as hearts hardened and
things changed  And the city forgot the Watcher was watching  And the world
outside the city grew enormously as many inside joined them  And the Watcher
watched  And the world of the mastermind surrounded the city and prepared to
take the city and bring forever death through its gates  And the Watcher was
grieved.  He sent His Son to the town  And the multitudes raised their hands
to the Son, the Rescuer, and cried out...and suddenly  they remembered what the
Creators love was like  And all those who gave themselves over had their
names written in stone and were taken to a safe place with the Son  And the
WATCHER, and the SON, and the WIND returned and became destroyers  And they
destroyed those on the outside  Forever  The town was made to glisten again
with a light brighter than all the heavens  And those whose names were written
in stone returned  The Son returned, riding on the wings of the Wind...to rule
there  There was great joy  and the Watcher watched  And He was pleased 
And once again, like in the beginning, the was only one WORLD...only one MAN
