Awesome! I haven't heard this in about 25 years! My phone rang about 5 minutes ago and the caller ID just said "CHICAGO, IL" and some random 312- number. Probably a telemarketer, because I doubt that the enitre city of Chicago wants to talk to me. But when I saw the "312", I thought "I wonder if...and HERE IT IS! Thank you, and God bless

This song rules! This is probably the first Christian 80s Rock band I've ever heard! Thanks so much! Our Lord provides us with this AWESOME music with a message, now thats just awesome, just like He is :)

@jhdoubleoseven - Um, yeah dude. Where were you in the 80's? The 1980's had Amy Grant, Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart, Carman, DeGarmo & Key, Petra, Phil Keaggy, White Heart, OMG I could go on & on & on. But these should blow you away just fine. Christians do & can rock out, Jesus rocks, and Heaven is going to be a beyond awesome Rock concert & "after" party. LOL. GLORY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this old REZ stuff. This music is from a time when traditional American values, family, abstinence from drugs and booze, waiting for sex in marriage, were instilled in me at the same time I was being taught to play guitar and bass.

The assaults on these values by communists and homosexuals have turned me into somebody who HATES sin.

Thank you for a glimpse back to a time "B.H" Before Hate. I lived in JPUSA. Now I'm N.S.M.U.S.A. it's cold here.

@ThorOdinson14 - Thanks dude for the comment. Call me stupid but, what does NSMUSA stand for? JPUSA stood for "Jesus People USA", right? I saw the Rez perform and "minister" at a Jesus Festival in Orlando Florida once. I was working as security then. Not that he needed it, but I was Glen's body guard. Later that week I was also Benny Hinn's body guard. Anyways,....peace & love brotha.

[jhdoubleoseven]

@RockerDave12 Yes, so true! I just never had heard an 80's Christian rock song before. I have Petra, but just 1990's. And to let you know, I was not born yet in the 80's. However, I wish I was, because I LOVE 80's rock, and would have loved to be live in one of rock's GREATEST eras!
