Yesterday I wrote about "He". One of my readers and dear friends pointed out a song, He, sang many years ago by the Righteous Brothers. I had never heard the song but looked it up and really liked it. The lyrics begin like:
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea.
He alone decides who writes a symphony.
He lights every star that makes the darkness bright.
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.
He alone decides who writes a symphony.
He lights every star that makes the darkness bright.
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.
Upon further research the music was written in 1954 by Jack Richards and lyrics by Richard Mullan. It was first recorded by Al Hibbler in 1955. The McGuire Sisters recorded it in 1956 followed by the Righteous Brothers in 1966. I hope this gospel song continues and is not one that will simply disappear with the ages.
