The other night I was singing in my room, and after I had sung this song, I ended up on my knees by my bed. Glory, glory, hallelujah, since I laid my burdens down Years later I heard of Dottie Rambo, who wrote it.Ģ0. This song was a tremendous blessing to me, and I often sang it at meetings. I had an this record, plus one of Elvis singing the same song. I had this LP when we lived in South Africa. He is a big fan of Jimmy Swaggart, so I am guessing that that is where he heard it. We have a tape of Pastor Johannes Minnie of Port Elizabeth singing this song. The credits say this song was written by Mike Murdock. I loved this song so much, as I was so homesick for South Africa.Īll of us sinners are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, and his shed blood on the cross of Calvary. I first heard this song on his record when I was having meetings with Pastor Eldon King in Arkansas in 1983. I recall this song being on a record where he had the open Bible in front of him.
This record was a tremendous blessing to me. Last night I was singing this song to myself, which inspired me to do this section. I seem to remember a family picture, with his wife and little boy. When I would listen to the record, I imagined myself sitting inside just basking in the presence of the Lord. I seem to remember a picture of him standing outside a stone church building. I love the fast songs on his early records. I’ve never loved Him better than today – One of my favorite gospel songs by Jimmy Swaggart I played them over and over again for hours, just soaking in the presence of the Lord.ġ.
These records were such a blessing to me. He sold Jimmy Swaggart records, and I bought 10 singing records, and he persuaded me to buy 2 preaching ones.
In Durban we went to one of Evangelist Arthur Nippers meetings. In 1970, I went into the ministry as a gospel singer, showing religious movies.
It was like heaven came down, and glory filled my soul. When I came back to my room, the Beatles would be blaring from one room, and the Rolling Stones from another, and I would go into my room and put on Jimmy Swaggart. A few years later I attended the Salisbury Polytechnic to do a survey course, and Pastor Marks lent me 4 of his records. Back in the mid 60’s a guy in Bulawayo lent me one of his records called: “I’m nearer home,” and wondered if I would like it. Jimmy Swaggart sings a lot of my favorite gospel songs.
