Bill Gaither & T D Jakes - Build A Bridge

STYLE: Southern Gospel
RATING

OUR PRODUCT CODE: 9739-9344
LABEL: Gaither Music Group SHD2462
FORMAT: CD Album
RRP: £5.99

Reviewed by Pauline Muir

This live set is a combination of black and Southern gospel tracks and contains some of the finest singers from both worlds including the Gaither Vocal Band, Jessy Dixon and Alvin Slaughter. If you are looking for new material this album is not for you. It contains a number of the golden oldies such as "I Go To The Rock" and "Tis So Sweet In Trust In Jesus". My personal favourite is Smokie Norful with "I Need You Now". This project may have been about the promotion of racial harmony and while proponents of both musical schools may not enjoy every single track, they may be pleasantly surprised by hearing something slightly different.

Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start

We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/reo+speedwagon/building+the+bri dge_20115556.html ]
There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there

And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine

As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge
