Hi Again, I found this link (below). Chuck Girard remembers the band as "Joy Band" at Calvary Chapel but says they were before all the recording got going:- https://www.chuckgirard.com/thoughts-from-chuck.html

Amazing how there were recent requests for this after so long! I too was captivated by this song and so thanks for finding the source. This morning I was praying and asking God if revival could happen again. Immediately I remembered a scripture I had forgotten (1 Kings 18) and the image of the small cloud the size of a man's hand! It was the first small sign but Elijah had to keep praying for the rain to come and it finally did! Revival can happen again folks! Let's pray and not give up! Thanks again for finding the source of this great song!

Thanks for the post I was so curious to find this song since i heard it and searched for a while, but finally so gracious. Recently I knew the history of jesus movement through pastor Chuck Smith, from his commentaries i read Calvary chapal. I started to dig more about it, it takes not long to watch jesus movement history in YouTube, and subjective songs has strike me, that insist me to find the the band and their songs, but sadly there details are not available more than this song. Any of you can bring up the their albums, i would be glad again. -Fenu, from India

Hello! I know its been a few years since you posted this question and I don't know if you've already found the band but i was also wondering who sang that song on the "Jesus movement" film on YouTube and I found them! The band name was "Joy". Here's a link of them. Couldn't find much else on them besides that. God bless!

Hi Curious
Every bit of information is positive and helpful
When researching I often run across information or a song that is a blessing
Thanks for this piece of the puzzle. I trust it will help Sciatere find their answer

Hi, I happened across this and it got me curious.

I think the suggestion of the band Parable is incorrect, as they became active in 1974 according to http://www.artistsinministry.com/parable/bio.html , and they also had at least one and later two female lead vocalists (see http://www.artistsinministry.com/parable/band.html). But the film was made in 1972, and the band in the film (see 32:35 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmUvnN3mtuc) is four guys. There is a closeup of the third guy in the lineup from 31:53 to 31:57.

(Also, note that Parable was not Chuck Girard's band; his band was Love Song.)

Sorry I don't have any positive leads, but maybe someone else does.

by "was there" source i mean janette,sorry if that seemed impersonal towards her,sclatere.

thankyou for the email.nancy.i was beginning to think that this topic had ended to be honest with you,but now there is a glimmer of hope and i do look forward to the final and accurate answer to this riddle.thanks for contacting a "was there" source for me,that was a lifter for me.kind regards,sclatere.

Hi sclatere,

I contacted a friend who knows a couple who went to Calvary Chapel in the 80s. This is what they said:

"Yes, this amazing worship band was before our time but we have seen old cassette tapes at the Calvary Chapel store
of Chuck Girard and his band I believe was named Parable.
We believe that's it but you might want to confirm this and call Steve Mays church (Calvary Chapel South Bay) or
Mike McIntosh's church (Horizon) or Oden Fong who played in the band, Mustard Seed Faith, during that year as well."
I will email Pastor Chuck Smith's daughter, Janette, since she's from that generation and see if she knows as well. "

I hope this helps. I will keep you posted as to any updates
Nancy
