简介
My music reflects what the Lord is doing through His ministry, "Barefoot Gardens Fellowship," that my husband, John, and I are currently caretakers of. In 2008, the Lord gave John and me a 'faith assignment' to concentrate on the broken-hearted people in our community. We began a 35-week program and called it "Rejoice Freedom." When you are set free in Jesus Christ, you are free indeed! The Holy Spirit began a new work in those we were ministering to and in us. We used the Word of God to introduce them to the healing powers of Jesus Christ, His delivering powers, and the forgiving desire of His grace-filled Nature! We continued running these programs through December 2011. Suddenly, in early 2012 the Lord spoke a new 'faith assignment' to us. However, until September 2012, we kept it in our hearts until the Lord gave us permission to un-veil it---Run Away Brides Ministries---It is the mission's ministry of Barefoot Gardens Fellowship and it concentrates on bringing those who said, "Yes," to Jesus for salvation, back to Him. For whatever reason many who said, "Yes," to His proposal left Him standing at the Wedding Altar. Unlike any other jilted bridegroom, Jesus Christ is waiting for them to be ushered back to Him. He is long-suffering and wanting to bring them back unto Himself and prepare them for the Wedding Banquet that all Christians/The Church/The Bride of Christ will experience when The Father says, "Son go get your Bride---Today is your Wedding Day!" The Lord brought the Song “Come On Down To The River” to me one very early morning in October. He actually gave me these words and I wrote them down as quickly as I could. I contacted a good friend of John's and mine, Hal Leath, who has been in the music business for years. He specializes in Christian music and I sang it to him over the phone via 'a recording message.' Are you kidding? I was too afraid to sing it personally to him. I am a pastor and a teacher, a singer is really pulling me beyond my comfort zone. On October 21, 2012, Hal Leath began to put music to the lyrics the Lord had given me. We called another good friend of mine, David Dunkley, who lives near Nashville, TN and has been playing music and singing for many years, successfully! David put all the drum work into the music with his amazing masterful ear and incredible talent. David then sang the song, per my request. What you hear in this song is the voice of those of us who were all once "Run Away Brides of Christ." Some interested brother or sister in Christ came to us once upon a time and ushered us back to Our Lord Jesus who stood at the Wedding Altar waiting lovingly for us. Now, we are ushers and attendants to the Brides of Christ, we are calling our brothers, and sisters back to the Living Waters. "Come on Down to The River and take a drink from His hand, Come on Down to the River and see the Galilean Man. Touch the hand of the Savior, Straight from the face of the Lord, For there is no drink worthy, but from the Holiest Word!" God bless you and be enriched in His Glory!
