People to People

[Guest]

"People to People". This was the theme song at Church Camp many years ago, and one of my favorite hymns!!

[Brother Jonathan]

The SMITE singers (Liberty University's missions team) sang this in the 1977 or so era (I heard them, and was moved to tears).

I just tried to find a video, too, but nothing even close. Sorry.

William J. Reynolds is who wrote this song.

Hi Brother Steve,
It's been many years May 2011 to be exact, but here I am again looking and singing this song and trying to find a recording of it. I thought the Centurymen sang this song years again, but I have been unsuccessful in locating it. Who recorded it? I thought it was an all male group I heard sing it so many years ago.

The words ring so true, and powerful.

First heard this song in high school some 10 years ago. It has always remained dear to my heart. I have been searching for the lyrics. Thanks for sharing.

I believe this is from a musical called Reaching People, written by William J. Reynold in 1972.

This is a blessed website. May God keep it and preserve it.

Sometimes it takes years, but God NEVER forgets your prayers, or your requests for finding an uplifting song in praise to His name. He will answer your prayer. Even if it takes years. I promise you. He will answer.

He has answered my prayers for songs I couldn't find. One song I've been searching for 25 years. God didn't forget me, and one day He led me to it. He will do the same for you. I promise you. The angels know the song you are searching for, and Jesus will one day allow you to hear it again.

I am crying right now as I write this, because God really does use "people to people" to share His love. I unknowingly recorded this from the radio many years ago, and was led to one day just search and see if people knew of this amazing song. I then was led to come here, and found that there was people asking for this song...and I had it and had been listening to it for literally years.

I tell you now, this is only God's work. We cannot do this on our own. It is God who uses us to share and help others.

Now for all those asking, God has blessed me with being able to find and record some really obscure songs.

It's not perfect, but someone should be able to clean it up with the right audio tools. It sounds ok for a radio recording, and should be good enough for personal listening, but could use a little improvement.

Anyway, I think this is the version (All Male Chorus) everyone was looking for. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pciW5x ... sp=sharing
