I believe this is the first album that introduced us to
this wonderful singing sibling harmony of mennonite
sisters, Julia, Sheila, Polly & Emily Heatwole.
I just love their peaceful harmony that flows from song to
song.
Side 1 includes the wondrous "In A Yard The Children" a song
their mother taught to them.
Sister Sheila relates that the tune may not be the original,
but to me, the one they use is so befitting to the words.
It takes me back to the first lady of
country music Kitty Wells and her gospel song
"How Far Is Heaven".
Side 2 has "Somebody Loves Me", love it! Some may
be familiar with The Lefevres who recorded the song on their
1972 album Now & Always. The Heatwole Sisters' version is
slowed some, and I prefer it that
way, suits it better.
The prayerful "Even So Lord Jesus Come" is the prayer in
every believer's heart today. The song may
have faired better as side 2 closer because of it's
message.
The very short "Be Filled With The Spirit" is a chorus every
church should be singing today. Music is very
powerful, it can move a soul to tears; and if the song
doesn't move you what is its worth?
The music of the Heatwole Sisters speaks and moves the
listener to know God is real. I know, I have been spoken to
and so moved. Thank you!
God bless, Don
ps. Thanks again Maxine of crossrhythms, great job in
locating hard to find music.
