Cowboy Church #6

Happy Easter my friends, it is time for some more cowboy church.

To start our music selection off today, appropriate for Easter we begin with Johnny Cash performing He's Alive. This version is from his 1979 gospel album A Believer Sings the Truth. Next up come another Johnny Cash song for Easter. This is Where You There When They Crucified My Lord. This version is from a 1962 performance on the Grand Old Opry's TV program. Next comes Merle Haggard singing the gospel classic The Old Rugged Cross off his 1981 album Songs For the Mama Who Tried. Next is Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and the Sons of the Pioneers performing The Place Where I Worship on TV in 1962. After this is The Carter Family's 1935 recording of Diamonds in the Rough. Last up is Gene Autry singing the great hymn Beautiful Isle of Somewhere from the feature film, Colorado Sunset (1939).

The following is a 1957 article from Radio TV Mirror about Roy Rogers.




 

    

For Easter here is an Easter message from Billy Graham.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.  She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!"  Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see.  The other disciple outran Peter and got there first.  He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.  Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there,  while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.  Then the other disciple also went in, and he saw and believed. John 20:1-8
