I sing this song at my church all the time....
-
Love Myrna Summers, love this song!!!
-
And God Said, "That's Good".

Does anyone have a recent video of Myrna Summers singing this?....I'd like to add it to my "Oh How Precious" playlist.....

Very Inspiring song and the artist comes across as sincere and dedicated to the Lord. She appears to be a modest woman, something the Church needs more of.

That's right.

I often tell my choirs you do a good job at work to get that promotion or outstanding appraisal. God deserves nothing short of that. If it's your BEST, then great, but you know when it's not your best and you haven't prepared as you should. Now try giving all of those excuses to your boss and see what the outcome is??? AMEN!!
Of the other versions of this song, I like Kathy Taylor's. Ricky Dillard's distorts the Savior's name in the vamp. I actually heard Kathy Taylor sing it live and OMG!!! I can't think of too many that can do Myrna's song justice like Kathy. I think I'd all but lose my mind if Kathy and Myrna sang it together... Maybe someone should suggest it or did I just do that? lol

@Kebbo202 You did!! They were together for Myrna's 60th birthday, and I thought that would be great too. Maybe next time. Thanks for the comment.

Please post the Original "God Gave Me A Song" with the name of the composer's name off the album if available. Who wrote this song, was Sister Summers herself?

Sister Summers is the composer, but wow, the "Original" is somewhere in the GMWA archives I guess! Check out the 1980 version I posted today.

The GMWA version was done in 1976. The actual "original" version is on a record credited to Myrna Summers and the Myrna Summers Singers released in 1975. I may post it very soon.

Oh yes, I have that 1975 version too of "Oh How Precious", with Royce Bouknight, Dottie Jones, Rose Woods. Do you have the original "God Gave me a Song?" Thanks for the comment.
