hagoth Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Back in the stone age (probably in the 80's), I had a wonderful LDS cassette tape of missionary-themed music, I don't remember by whom, and one of the songs on that tape had the chorus that included the words: "If He could make mighty all these, I know he will also bless me..." I think it also included the words: "And whatever my mission might[may?] be. I am ready, dear Father send me." Does anyone recognize the lyrics? The song title? The album name? Who produced it? How to get a copy in the here and now?I would very much love to have this music for my kids to hear on Sundays. Any help homing in on some of this would be greatly appreciated! Quote
bytebear Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Janice Kapp Perry was quite popular back then. Maybe it was one of hers. https://janicekappperry.com/ Quote

Guest Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Embryo records put out the lion's share of LDS music in the 80's. They are now under the name Excel. I just found this information for them, though I can't promise it's current or correct: Excel Entertainment Group 4910 Amelia Earheart Drive Salt Lake City, UT 84116 (801) 355-1771 Quote

Looking forward to their response. Out of curiosity, what does your current signature mean? Quote
Guest Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 My current signature is a funny quote from Lilo and Stitch. I'll probably change it sometime. Quote

Those lyrics seem very familiar to me. My dad taught seminary for a few years in the 90s, he might have had that song on one of the tapes he used in class. I'll ask him. Quote
Palerider Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 In my mission we did a song with a tune to the 12 days of Christmas On the first day of tracking the people said to me ..."Go away I'm having my tea"On the second day of tracking the people said to me ...You've been here before Quote
hagoth Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Posted August 29, 2015 Found it thanks to bytebear's suggestion. Thanks for the other suggestions here too. It is a Janice Kapp Perry production, as bytebear suggested. Rather than exiting the thread with nothing more than thanks, if anyone is interested in hearing a sampling of the song....https://itunes.apple...uth/id314150300or here https://itunes.apple...ary/id981966856In that list, song #16 - "He Will Make Mighty His Sons" - is the song I was seeking.You can click on that song and listen to a considerable portion of it at no charge.I highly recommend it. Feel free to call me a liar if it's not more than worth the few minutes it takes to sample. Quote

bytebear Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 You're welcome. Thank my Seminary teachers who were big on alternatives to secular music at the time. :) Quote
