When I was a teenager, contemporary Christian music was in its infancy. As I've shared before Evie Tornquist (now Evie Karlsson) was one of the very first singers that I remember hearing on the Christian radion station and enjoying. I have been searching for this song for well over a year and have finally discovered someone who posted it relatively recently. This might possibly be my favorite of her many songs. It has such a great message.
My weekend's not complete without Amy's Then Sings My Soul Saturday! Won't you join me?
I remember Evie, but I don't remember this song. I remember "Mirror" and "Come on Ring Those Bells".
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
It's my first time to listen to this song. This is really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I am so happy that you found one of your very favorites:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this song with us~
Music always makes my heart sing!
Hugs and Blessings,
Lynn♥
That was a beautiful song. I had not heard of her. So thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!
I have never heard of her either. I am so glad that we now have so many artists and songs and radio stations to hear wholesome Christian music compared to when we were kids.
ReplyDelete"When I think I'm going under, part the waters, Lord."
Yes, please!
This song brings back so many emotional memories for me. I loved Evie and had a couple of her albums. I worked in a Christian camp during my highschool/early college summers and one year her song Give Them All (one of my favorites) was our theme song. That was a difficult summer for reasons I won't go into here but at the end a camp friend made a plaque for me with these words inscribed-'When I think I"m going under part the waters Lord.' I still have that piece of wood some 33 years later. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you've found the song too. I had encountered moments like that when I hear only snippets of the songs or sometimes I remember the title, it takes a while to find it. ☺ I've never heard of her too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time hearing this artist.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful song. Thanks!
I know this voice, but not this song. (Which I like.) Most of my Christian music came from PTL and generally I listened rather than watched, so looking at photos of Evie didn't help. She has a gorgeous voice!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this song either. It sounds wonderful and the lyrics is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about Evie. Thanks for sharing that song with us today. I used to love hearing her sing too.
ReplyDeleteI am finally catching up on blogs....sorry to hear about your wreck! Glad you are ok.....but I know paperwork is NOT fun and so time consuming!!
ReplyDeleteAnd btw.......Evie....My all time fav....Come Ring those Bells, light the Christmas tree...Jesus we remember this your birthday......Sing along! :) LOL
I always love coming to your blog. You always post the neatest things. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so pretty, Linda, and I have not heard her before. Thanks so much for sharing it.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing... that is a new song to me!
ReplyDeleteI just found this! I loved this song as well as Evie too. Wow... so many memories here! My parents had this album. Thank you!
