On my mom's side of the family, she is one of 9 kids. Her sister, Bonnie, married an incredible musician and they, along with their girls (They had 5), formed the gospel group the Christian Diplomats. They originally recorded this song back in 1982. I also was blessed with the gift of music and today, am a music producer, arranger, songwriter, etc. living in Philadelphia. I had hoped over the years, that technology would evolve far enough to allow in some fashion, the ability to reverse-engineer an album because my uncle Homer said they never kept the masters of the recordings they made at Baldwin Recording Studios in Johnstown, PA in the late 70's and early 80's. In 2021, I was a very early beta-tester to some software that promised the possibility of separating full recordings of material down into its individual parts. Was THIS the product I have been longing for since the age of 15 when I first decided I wanted to produce new versions of my family's music? The short version of the answer is, OHHHH YEAAHHHHHH!

It should be noted that the ONLY parts kept from the original recording were the vocals. Even the timing arrangement was changed from an eighth-note to a dotted-eighth note, and from 3/4 time to 6/8.

As best I recall, the song was in either D or E-flat but it's been years since I've heard the song or seen the music. Regardless, the message is something we need to hear and heed! Every day we live is not only one more to live for Jesus, but also one day sooner to the end of our earthly journey.

I have the lyrics to my house is full , but does anyone know what chord or key it is played in I also heard this sone when I was a teenager and I love the song.

There is peace and contentment in the Fathers today
Lots of food is on His table
And no one is turned away
There is singing and laughter as the hours pass by
But a hush calms singing as the Father sadly cries

My house if full but my fields are empty
Who will go and work for me today
It seems my children all want to stay around my table
But no one wants to work in my field
No one wants to work in my field

Push away from the table
Look out through the window pane
For beyond this house of plenty
Lies a field of golden grain
And it's ripe unto harvest
But the reapers where are they
In the house oh can't the children
Hear the Father sadly say

It's amazing, but after so many years, I heard the song (My House Is Full) in church last night! It's really a beautiful song.

I found the lyrics on the www.timelesstruths.org website. You can also download the music on that website.

"Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown?"
I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down;
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand,
Will there be any stars in my crown?

Refrain:
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown,
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blest in the mansions of rest,
Will there be any stars in my crown?

In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray,
Let me watch as a winner of souls;
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day,
When His praise like the sea-billow rolls.

Oh, what joy it will be when His face I behold,
Living gems at His feet to lay down;
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,
Should there be any stars in my crown.
John R. Sweney
