TSMSS - Oldies but Goodies

Oh. My. Talk about a blast from the past. While looking for a song to share this week, I stumbled across a husband and wife team from the 1970's that I had forgotten all about, and what a pleasure it was to be refreshed with their beautiful music once again! Mark & Diane Yasuhara, simply known as The Hawaiians, were both born and raised in Hawaii and recorded 14 albums, singing across the USA and throughout the world in individual concerts as well as with The Billy Graham crusades. The album pictured on this first song is the one I had. They both have such trememndous voices and beautiful harmony. I absolutely love both of these songs and couldn't decide which one to choose, so I'm sharing both! Down From His Glory just makes my heart feel like it's going to burst with joy! And the second song, while quieter, is just as meaningful. You can "meet" Mark & Diane and hear them sing the well-known Hawaiian Wedding Song on their website Aloha Forever Weddings, where engaged couples can arrange for Mark to perform their wedding ceremony or vow renewal and for Mark & Diane (or just Mark) to sing. (Just out of curiosity, I browsed around a bit and was stunned at how inexpensive their packages are! I would have easily expected to see another digit before the decimal!)

But I digress. Enjoy this peek back to the 1970's!

OH HOW I LOVE HIM

Oh, how I love Him, how I adore Him,
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all,
The Great Creator became my Savior,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

Down from His glory, ever living story,
My God and Savior came and Jesus was His name
Born in a manger, to His own a stranger,
A man of sorrow, tears and agony

Oh, how I love Him, how I adore Him,
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all
The Great Creator became my Savior,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!
