'The Great Song Select Segment' features a SONG that will "STAND THE TEST OF TIME"!Remember...'GREAT SONGS have NO EXPIRATION DATE''God Has Always Had A People' was written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The powerful lyrics of this song combined with dynamic narration demonstrate the enduring identity of the Christian Church.'God Has Always Had A People' is ONE of the songs released from a project by that same name 'God Has Always Had A People' and was recorded with the Festival Choir & Orchestra at Pinebrook Studio in Alexandria, Indiana and was arranged and conducted by Don Marsh.Verse One says it like this...Many a foolish conqueror has made the mistake of thinking that because he had forced the Church of Jesus Christ out of sight...he had stilled its voice and snuffed out its life.Verse Two states...The powerful current of a rushing river is not diminished because it's forced to flow underground. The purest water is the stream that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight after it's forced its way through solid rock.The following narration in this song punctuates the message with the following words..."There have been charlatans who, like Simon the magician, who sought to barter on the open market that POWER which cannot be bought or sold...but God has always had a people...men who could not be bought and women who were beyond purchase. There have been times of affluence and prosperity when the Church's message has been nearly diluted into oblivion by those who sought to make it socially attractive, neatly organized and financially profitable. It has been gold-plated, draped in purple and encrusted with jewels. It has been misrepresented, ridiculed, lauded and scorned. These followers of Jesus Christ have been according to the whim of the times, elevated as sacred leaders and martyred as heretics...yet through it all...there marches on that powerful army of the meek...God's chosen people, who cannot be bought, flattered, murdered or stilled...on through the ages they march"!God has always had a people! A people who believe by faith, who trust and believe His Word...a people whose God is the Lord!We hope that you will "spread the word' about Worship2point0.com where our MISSION is to help people EVERY WHERE...at ANY TIME...EXPERIENCE...the PRESENCE of GOD!
