So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home RM- 1988
Like most great artists It seems I missed them in their hayday. The same goes with Rich Mullins. Who died in 1997. This was the year I graduated from high school. I heard his songs before I knew of the spiritual depth of rich. The other day "third day" played creed on tbn. All I could think about was how rich played with no shoes because he considered himself a ragamuffin. He played lots of shows, and was probably on church tv. But for me the Jesus album changed my life. I listened to it in the chapel endless times. Rich lead me to brennan manning and the ragamufin gospel. In Boy like me man like you he represented the humaness of jesus better than anybody. In My Deliverer he represented the gospel as a roaring lion. I really like the verses to Our God is an awesome God usually we skip over that part of the song. Rich was very popular but towards the end of his life he seemed to be moving to a more simple life as a Jesus Person.

Not much can be said about rich,i'm sure there is more to learn.
