Blessed is the Death of the Righteous

This broadcast is a Tribute to Billy Harris. This old fashioned-gospel preacher, musician, and singer touched thousands and thousands of lives. He was unique, so down to earth that you knew he never thought highly of himself. His style was not learned from someone else because there was no one like him. Since he was plain and simple and never heralded in this life, his glory is yet to come. He sang the Gospel: songs about his own failures, songs about sinners playing with their soul, songs about faith and trust in our wonderful Lord. Most of all, he sang about the Lord Himself. His guitar music was breathtaking! I must admit that he already seems bigger than life. At our Ministers’ Retreat he was known for sitting down after the evening service when we were fellowshipping to play and sing as if he was on the Grand Ole Opry. Of course, he only played the ones that had a Biblical message like, “The Great Speckled Bird” or “I Saw the Light.” He could take me back and make me think I was a boy listening with my mother and dad to the radio. He was at our October 2009 retreat in the mountains of Tennessee and thrilled us one last time on this side of eternity. I love every song on this broadcast. You can order the two CDs of Rev. Harris for a total of 31 songs ($12 each, plus 15% S&H). Call our office at 1-800-338-7884. There will be a health tip every week this year somewhere near the middle of the program.
