Then Sings My Soul – 1984 Edition

Mar 15


Well, friends, it’s that time again!  I know you’ve been waiting all week to see what song I would pick for Then Sings My Soul Saturday.  It’s a secret that has been kept under lock and key. (Or maybe I just picked it ten minutes ago.)  My song this week is…

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

This song was tickled on the ivories as I walked down the aisle to give my heart to Jesus in 1984 – no, I’m not talking about George Orwell here.  It was June of 1984 in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and I was ten.  As you can imagine, this song holds a special place in my heart.  I picked a noteworthy You Tube video to go with my song.  It’s sung by Bill Gaither and his Homecoming Friends.  And by golly, here is the best part – I think the video of this song just might have been recorded the same year I walked that aisle, perhaps even the same night.  


Why, you ask?  How could I know such a thing?  Watch and see for yourself.  Friends, only the 80’s could provide such hair-do goodness as you will see in this video.  The puffy bangs and the perms.  I can just smell the White Rain.  




But, then again maybe this was the late 80’s.  Based on the mullets and the men’s attire, perhaps 1989 would be a better guess.  What do you think?  Want to join me for a little 80’s flash back?






















Is that like so totally cool or what?

I'm one sassy southern Mama who loves Jesus and isn't afraid to shout it. My passions are Jesus, my husband, my kids, and chocolate. I'm a teacher turned Christian writer. Ask me why I love Jesus and be prepared to sit a spell. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, but don't forget to love your neighbor as yourself. I am a firm believer that we can change the world one person at a time - by being Christ with the skin on to those who are in need. Are you a sheep or a goat?
