Should there be any rivers we must cross
God will supply all the strength that we need
Give us strength till we reach the other side.

God has already signed our name.
Jesus took his blood and he washed my sins, he washed them all away.
Yet there are those of us who have laid down our lives

My mom had this record when I was growing up. I remember when I was in 4th grade (1982-83), lying in bed sick with flu a few days, and I really fell in love with this song then, (which I recorded on my little tape recorder) and listened over and over maybe 20 times or more while recuperating. I really loved it and payed very close attention to the piano licks in particular, and the bass and drums were all good, too, and really loved the part when the organ comes in all glorious and how everything kept climaxing.
Little did I know until now how much effect this song (and Andrae Crouch) must have had on my own piano style when I got older. I do believe I can hear that effect when I just recently posted me singing and playing "Bless the Lord Oh My Soul" on piano. Though I'm just one voice and can't sound like Andrae's glorious choir, I really let the piano rip to supply the lack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sHJ9x3jRsc

My group sang this at a church program when we were in college. One my friends , Eric, saw Andrae Crouch at a NY airport around the time this song first came out, and they sang it together while waiting for the plane. Mr. Andrae even corrected some of lyrics that Eric somehow got wrong. LOL.

VERY soon indeed.
