It was written sometime before 1974. I heard a dear brother sing that song in that time frame. He did a wonderful job with it!

There were at least two versions of "King Jesus", maybe more. The Oak Ridge Boys, possibly others, recorded the one with the lyrics from joypeg60. We used to have the sheet music for that one, dating back to the early 70's or so. Another version was recorded by the "Gethsemane Quartet...

Hi Niki, You're right, Roger did such a great job with the group. I mean, consider the nearly constant turnover of personnel. Some stayed only for, maybe, 1-2 years tops? That wasn't very long! Then, compare the singers from the "Truth Live" double-album set with "You Don't Know What ...

If you can find a circa-1990 to 92 tape or (maybe??) CD from Perfect Heart (Danny Funderburk's group), the song is on that "project". You're right, it's a very upbeat song!

The Inspirations sang this song and you're right, it's a great one.

The group "Truth" had a bridge (?) with some of these words in their song, "Jesus is Lord of the way I feel" Praise the Lord, Hallelu I don't care what the Devil's gonna do The Word and Faith is my sword and shield And Jesus is Lord of the way I feel Then they may have repeated t...

There's a song called "Neath the Old Olive Trees"--it was in the Broadman Hymnal, and had a green hardcover with white or silver lettering. I literally cut my teeth on one (or more!) of those hymnals while growing up! I'm winging the lyrics from memory so please forgive me if I'm in error:...

Wasn't there a Southern gospel group that sang this one--maybe Hovie Lister and the Statesmen, or maybe the Cathedral Quartet?

Seems the Happy Goodman family sang it, too, but I could be way off base.

I want to say it was John W Peterson, or maybe one of the Wyrtzens? We had a songbook for youth in the mid-70's and this was one of the songs in it. I don't remember if it was a Word of Life (Schroon Lake, NY) or Singspiration (Zondervan, maybe) publication. Regardless, a great song, easy to learn a...

We may not be talking about the same song, but Gerald Wolfe and "Greater Vision" (Gerald, Mark Trammell, and someone else) had a song where the chorus went something like this: Well done, My child, my Lord will say With courage bold (you stood for the right), A crown of life you've won Wel...
