In the beginning, I was a novice when it came to Christian music. I didn't know any of the artists or the songs they sang. I can remember a few songs I heard as a child like Bringing in the Sheaves (I actually thought they were singing Bringing in the Cheese). Amazing Grace was another song I remember hearing but that was essentially my limited exposure to Christian music.
One day I walked into a Christian Book store and told the owner that I was interested in familiarizing myself with some of the current artists and she took me to the back store room. I spent hours pouring over album jackets, studying the artists who wrote their own lyrics and musicians who sang or played with other artists. When I finished, I had about fifty albums which I wanted to take home and listen to. I also wondered how to work it out to pay when the owner said, "No charge, you can have them." I've never forgotten that kindness and I patronized that Christian business until I moved to another city.
The thing I liked most about the Sweet Comfort Band was their soulful sound; their music contained a jazz-like quality to it. When you listen to this song, you'll notice how the guitar intertwines back and forth to the vocals of lead singer Bryan Duncan.
I Love You with My Life is sung from the perspective of Jesus Christ to His followers. It is personable, as if He is speaking individually to each one of us. I hope you like this song, it is one of my all-time favorites.
| I would like to say, Just before I leave you, I’ll be back someday, And with me I will take you So do not be afraid, Only watch and pray, And wait for my return. I’ve done what I must do, My work here is completed, It’s all been done for you, Believe what I have stated, And I will give you peace Through all your tribulations, Until I come again. Please know that I love you, I’ll stay by your side. If only now in spirit, I’ll still be your guide. You will not suffer long, For I have suffered for you, I love you with my life. Lyrics by Bryan Duncan |
