1 - The band making the most longstanding use of the name is a contemporary Christian band (and often, a cappella ensemble) formed in 1972 on the campus of West Chester State University of Pennsylvania when singer Ed Nalle auditioned for a new Christian band. Nalle would write and produce much of GLAD's early material in addition to his role as lead vocalist. The other members (from Temple University in Philadelphia) were Bob Kauflin (keyboards, vocals), T. Coble (bass, vocals), John Bolles (guitar, vocals), and Brad Curry (drums). The group's name was chosen from a poll taken at a shopping mall. Playing over 200 dates annually at college campuses, churches and concert halls throughout the United States, GLAD released their first two albums on Myrrh Records in 1978 and 1980.

"The Reason" (on Beyond a Star) was their first a cappella song, which they subsequently re-recorded for their 1988 watershed album, The Acapella Project. That album was released with some trepidation because there was no track record in the genre for the Christian market, but it proved tremendously popular (selling over 400,000 copies), and received a Dove Award nomination and a Billboard Critic's Choice Award. Since that time, GLAD has alternated band and a cappella recordings and increased their admirers, evidenced by new groups that are obviously influenced by the group's elaborate, multilayered sound.

GLAD ventured into the mainstream with their 1995 release, A Cappella Gershwin (featuring some arrangements by the legendary Gene Puerling), which set the a cappella world buzzing and helped introduce their music to a wider audience.

GLAD's current lineup includes Nalle and longtime members Chris Davis (a musician with a strong background in classical and electric guitar, plus session work in the Northwest) and John Gates (an experienced studio percussionist who backed Gladys Knight & the Pips, Frankie and the Knockouts, and others), plus alternating keyboardists Paul Langford and Don Pardoe. Kauflin and Don Hart are the group's primary a cappella arrangers. Recently, the group has released recordings inspired by the writings of John Piper and the worship music of Sovereign Grace Ministries (formerly PDI).
-------------------------------------------------------
2 - The second band calling itself Glad is Timothy B. Schmit's band, who made one album in 1968 before he left to join Poco and become a leading figure in the development and evolution of Country Rock.
-------------------------------------------------------
3 - Third, Glad is also the name of a little-known UK indie band. Formed in Oxford in 1988, the band that was to become Glad changed their name more often than their underwear. Settling on Smitty’s Chopper for their first gig, the band’s original line-up was Mark Jordan (bass & vocals), Tony Greenham (guitar), Jon Williams (guitar), Will Crerar (drums) and John Tabinor (vocals). Jordan soon took over as main vocalist with Tabinor opting to leave rather than become an embarrassing appendage. The band’s name gradually morphed into Paisley Nightmare and Angus-Boyd Heron was recruited on bass, leaving Jordan free to focus on his frontman persona. After a final, Madchester-inspired name change to Glad and a personnel change in the drumming department, the band split in 1992.

Overall Meaning

In Glad's song Awesome God, the lyrics describe God as an awe-inspiring deity who reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love. The repetition of the same verse throughout the song highlights the importance and magnitude of God's greatness. The use of the term 'awesome God' takes on a new level of meaning as it is not used in the context of a deity, but to express the deep sense of reverence and wonder that the singer holds for God. This song could be viewed as an anthem to encourage believers to recognize and appreciate God's majesty and power.


The lyrics can also be interpreted as a source of comfort, as the singer acknowledges the vastness and strength of God, and trusts in His ability to provide support and guidance. The song's simplicity and repetition speak to the human need for reassurance and consistency in moments of uncertainty.

GOD IS IN THE OIL!!! Like the Horn of oil Samuel poured over the head of David, it represented a saturation of God himself upon David's life for kingship. God is in the oil! Always have oil on one's person for anointing people, for healing, for deliverance, for casting devil's out! He lives in US, and he lives in the oil. Chew on it!

THEY ATE THE FOOD OF ANGELS
Psalms 78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Psalms 78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Psalms 78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
Psalms 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
Psalms 78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

Plainly Put Truth

This is for anyone willing to read: (He That Hath An Ear)
The only way to God is through Jesus Christ. You must come forth to Christ as a Sinner. Ask God to save you, allow Christ to put his Yoke upon you. We - Ourselves - Cannot save ourselves nor clean ourselves up. Only GOD can help us.
^ " For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13 (KJV)
-
God knows our hearts, and if we are truly serious in coming forth to him. -> Those in whom are his children will have a changed life, AKA, Born Again.
^ " Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." - John 3:3 (KJV)
-
Being Born-Again means that there shall be works that are done through you, but such works mean Glory to GOD.
^ " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
-
Also, You can only lose your salvation if you are not Called up (Resurrection) before The "Time of Jacob's Trouble" (For The Jews). During the TOJT, this is where Works and Faith play a role.
^ " For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ," - 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV)
-
-
Make sure you are reading your Bibles. King James Version (AV) -> Purest, Perfect Word of GOD.
^ " For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed," - Luke 9:26 (KJV)

Great Preachers: KJVM - Bryan Denlinger / Carter Conlon. Strongly Recommend Bryan Denlinger.
