Andrae Crouch (1942-2015)



A true legend in Christian music went home to be with the Lord today.

In the 1960's, Andrae Crouch's music ushered in a new approach to worship within the body of Christ, setting the stage for the modern worship movement. It also broke down racial barriers that had stood for centuries! 

Great songs like My Tribute, Through it All and The Blood Will Never Lose it's Power made an indelible impression on my faith as a young child. 

We will miss his contribution to our services and celebrations for now, but I have little doubt we'll all join with one voice and sing those songs in that heavenly city one day soon and very soon!

    The one song that I listen to over and over is Sweet Communion. One of my absolute favorites. He will be missed.

    Tell Them, Soon And Very Soon, Take Me Back, Praises...I simply can't choose a favorite Andre Crouch song, nor remember a time he wasn't a huge influence on my worship. I grew up with Mom teaching me his music, her playing piano and me singing those beloved lyrics in my dad's meetings.
